postGame: Mets 8 Dodgers 4

The Mets (26–26) defeated the Dodgers (26–27) by the score of 8 to 4 in Shea Stadium tonight.

For a recap, boxscore, stats, etc., go to SNY.tv.

like an idiot, i pulled the plug on my laptop, which did not have a battery in it, and thus lost all of my in-game notes…so, i will work on a more detailed post for tomorrow morning…

…in the meantime, know that David Wright hit two two-run home runs; Claudio Vargas was good, not great; Endy Chavez is out of the cage; SNY is clearly making a concerted effort to show more shots of a pumped-up Willie Randolph in the dugout, and there’s nothing wrong with that; Luis Castillo is alive; Carlos Delgado played surprisingly good defense; the Mets look inspired, are smiling and i like it; Brad Penny will not be naming his kid Shea any time soon; Hollywood Todd Zeile was in the house, complete with t-shirt and sunglasses; Carlos Muniz has a nice fastball; Scott Schoeneweis has been great this season, and it continues; and the Keyspan sign is now the NationalGrid sign, which is weird to me…

The Mets continue their four-game series with the Dodgers tomorrow night at Shea Stadium, starting at 7 pm, with John Maine facing Clayton Kershaw.
