GAME ONE:
Nick's new-look lineup didn't take long to gel, as the Mets hit three homers and scored 10 runs. Prince Fielder, Omar Infante (overall, 3x5 on the day) and baseball jaw David Wright each went yard. Andre Ethier added three RBI on three hits. Roy Oswalt, coming into the game winless, finally got a win. Oswalt tossed a complete-game, 2 run, six-hitter. Always a gamer, Troy Tulowitski hit two solo homers and went 3x4 in the loss.
NICK 10, CARLO 2
GAME TWO:
Game two was nip-tuck until the bottom of the eighth, when David Wright handsomely launched a 400 foot grand slam off the hapless Edward Mujica. The Heisman added a base-clearing double off Carlo's bewildered reliever. Kyle McClellen fell into his first win of the year. Andre Ethier, suddenly red-hot, smashed a two-run homer. Carlo's bullpen collapse, ruined an otherwise strong outing for Ryan Dempster, who tossed 6 strong innings. Tulo launched another HR, his third of the series, in the loss. Aubrey Huff added two rbis
NICK 9, CARLO 5
GAME THREE:
The quintessential teammate and citizen, Vicente Padilla, hurled 6 strong innings, striking out 8 enroute to his second win of the year. More importantly, the team-first Padilla secured a sweep for the once-struggling Mets. Strassy Mollasey earned a hold, laser-beaming two scoreless innings, before turning things over to Luke Gregerson (who notched his fourth save of the young season). Andre Ethier added another HR in the win, while Omar Infante had another multi-hit game. Carlo's lone run came on a Fukudome double that scored Adrew "Mc-clutch-en."
NICK 5, CARLO 1
NICK SWEEPS SERIES, 3-0!
My team's new lineup really got everyone in the offense kick-started. Omar Infante scored 6 runs and was 8 for 14. Andre Ethier hit 2 HRS and drove in 8 RBI, while "The Heisman" Chris Heisey went 6 of 12 in the series.
Wow - some serious posting going on at this blogsite. Great to see.
ReplyDeleteNice work on the sweep Commish. You were due to have some winning happen to ya, with all them righty killers in your lineup. Plenty of runs scored in that series, I fully expect to see some of your guys climb up the leaderboards.
That Strassy-Molassy stuff has to stop though.
What are the details of this trade that went down?
