Last night, most of the Mets fanbase was thinking about what the net two weeks would be like for the team with Daniel Murphy manning the hot corner. 24 hours later, David Wright is back, and looks like he’s in mid-season form. Yesterday, Terry Collins told the media that Wright would go on the disabled …

In Philadelphia, tonight belonged to R.A. Dickey. Despite the favorable pitching matchup for the Phillies- Cy Young Award winner Cliff Lee vs. R.a. Dickey- the Mets won the game behind their number two starter. Here’s how it went down. In the first, the visiting Mets began a rally with Ruben Tejada, who is hitting .320 …

In very Dickey-like fashion, R.A. threw another quality start, going 6 innings and allowing just 3 earned despite serving up 9 hits. In very un-Dickey-like fashion, he got a ton of run support, and got it early. The Mets scored early and often in this one and took the series opener by a final score …

He’s written poetry. He’s published a novel. He’s working on another one. And tonight, wearing Glavine’s 47, Miguel Batista collected career win number 100. He gave up 2 runs early on but then settled down and finished up with 6 solid innings of work, throwing 97 pitches and striking out 3. Batista became just the …

After Capuano’s gem on Friday, it was somewhat disheartening to see him labor through the first inning, giving up two quick runs. The second inning was tough for him too, but he got out of it without surrendering a run. At that point in the game, Ron, Keith, and Gary noted that Cap was only …
