For a boxscore, check out the new-and-improved 
…i am so proud of Mike Pelfrey…here it was, time for him to step up, take hold of his spot in the rotation, and lead this team to a much-needed win, and he looked sensational…for starters, he looked very, very comfortable…i believe he will only get better the more he pitches, because he will grow more comfortable and confident…i initially suggested this maturation should occur in Triple-A, but if duty calls here in the big leagues, great…go get it, mike…trial by fire works just as well…tonight, he did exactly what he had been saying he needs to do, which is pound his fastball low, and in, and keep his slider away…he never faltered…what’s more, after Jose Reyes bobbled a ball and botched a double play, pelfrey kept his cool and worked out of the inning…
…the third inning was just this team needed: a full-participation, merry-go-round of hits and runs from more or less every one in the team’s lineup all within a 10–minute span…it also helps when the opposing team makes three errors, but, whatever…i’ll take it…exhale, friends…
…i hate to be picky, though, but, the Mets also left eight men on base…i’m just saying…
…nice job by Jorge Sosa, who threw two scoreless innings in relief of pelfrey…however, jeez, Pedro Feliciano, make it a bit closer will you…it’s funny, because so many of us, me included, were screaming for feliciano yesterday – as though he was the save-all, be-all to relief pitching – yet today he comes out and puts three men on base, before getting Pedro Feliz to pop up and end the inning…yikes…of course, he did get the two big lefties out, Chase Utley and Ryan Howard, so, you know…
…by the way i love that Shea Stadium is using the organ more this season…it just makes the ambiance more authentic…
…lastly, i think Shave Victorino wears roller skates while playing in the outfield…he’s all over the place…seriously, because of the way the game is filmed, it feels like he plays all three outfield positions at the same time…
…again, nice job, Mike Pelfrey, who clearly gets the game ball and, hopefully, and added shot of confidence as well…
