postGame: M’s 11 Mets 0

The Mets (37–39) lost to the Mariners (28–49) by the score of – wait for it – 11–0 at Shea Stadium tonight.

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

However, in case you missed it, know that Oliver Perez continues to be a total mess; it’s weird seeing David Wright on the bench; Jose Reyes was the only player in the Mets starting lineup under the age of 30; Luis Castillo lost the handle on a ground ball that could have ended the inning, but instead let two runs score; the Mets offense can not get on balance; Fernando Tatis and Brian Schneider are the only one’s capable of hitting a knuckle ball; and the most entertaining part of the game was not the game, but when Jerry Manuel got ejected defending Carlos Beltran, who was baited in to an argument about balls and strikes by the umpire, who then ejected Beltran.

The Mets are 3–4 since Jerry Manuel replaced Willie Randolph.

The Mets conclude their three-game series against the M’s tomorrow night at Shea Stadium, with John Maine (7-5, 3.78 ERA) facing Miguel Batista (3-9, 6.26 ERA).
