Mets Get Aced In 2-0 Loss Against Giants
An article by Former Writers
Game Summary
The pitching was there tonight, but offense was nowhere to be found. Capuano had a nice start, bullpen held up well, but Lincecum and bullpen just proved to be too much for the Mets offense.
Game Notes
Chris Capuano did a great job on the mound with 6.1 innings pitched and only two runs allowed on eight hits. Three walks and five hits also go under his belt along with his third loss. He pitched well, but Lincecum pitched better.
The bullpen, comprised of Gee and Igarashi, combine for 2.2 shutout innings. Nice work after the pen blew it last time.
The offense was where the Mets really faltered. A total of six hits and no runs to show for it. Times where the wrong call was made, along with Lincecum’s 12 Ks keep the Mets from scoring. Beltran and Murphy each had a double, and there were plenty of other times to score a run as 9 runners were left on base. Ike, Beltran, Murphy, and Paulino all get a pass today, but the rest of the offense was as weak as possible.
David Wright also made his third error of the season
Turning Point
It was all zeros until the sixth inning where the Giants struck first.
Game Ball
Beltran had two nice hits, including a stretched double and the only one not to strikeout.
Up Next
Mike Pelfrey looks to get himself back on track as he takes on the Giants in the final game of the series. He goes up against a possible future Met, Jonathon Sanchez. Game time is 1:10 PM.

Can’t really say choosing Beltran was wrong for Game ball but I’d have given it to Capuano.
Dont worry our stopper Mike Pelfrey will stop the bleeding tomorrow. We are 12-18, the worst mark in the NL, and if not for Carlos Beltran and Jose Reyes we would be 6-24.
When is Terry going to do something radical like change lineup, change hitting coach and bring back HoJo? Just kidding.
Who is the hitting coach cause I have not heard his name mentioned and as pathetic as batters have been what is he doing to help hitters make contact, wk count, cut down swing?
Really I asked the other day who is the hitting coach, probably doesn’t matter cause he will be 1st casulty of hitters not performing.
Hey maybe R. A. can teach them how to place a perfect bunt?
It has gotten so bad for me, a glass half full kind of guy, that when Jints scored their first run I was mad at Capuano for giving up ONE, yes ONE run. What is happening to me that one run would make me mad?
Terry needs to make copies of his post game interview and just pass them out after every game cause the reason’s don’t change.
Here came a team into Citi that had a 3rd place hitter, this is a killer, came in with 2, yes 2 RBI and he doubles that total and adds another tonight. Mike Fontenot, who is this dude that we can’t contain this slugger from the Bay?
It’s getting so that the only Mets leadoff hit that will raise anyone’s spirits will be a HR.
Capuano certainly held up his end of things.
Let’s keep calling for Beltran to be traded…the one guy who hits consistently.
When Bay is out of the lineup good things rarely happen.
Hairston and Harris at the plate are about as good as any two guys off the street.
No slight to The Freak, but what’s with watching his fast balls go by you, Mets? Sheesh, it wasn’t as if Kellogg was going to change his strike zone after so many innings.
I want to believe in this team, but they sure don’t make it easy.
Dark and dreary are my Mets.
If it were up to me I’d see if Beltran would be willing to sign on for another 2 years, why not? Bay has been a disappointment and is he kidding me with his paternity leave for 2 days? He’s alread missed a month this season and only recently got back. He saw his new baby get born on Tuesday, why couldnt he be back to play on Wednesday? You know the mopes who say Beltran isnt a team player? They should be looking at Bay instead.
You’re serious about that? You clearly don’t have children.
When you can’t get a man in with runners on 2nd and 3rd and NO Out-Hello that is NO OUT you are the ABSOLUTE worst team in baseball and I don’t care if Lincecum was pitching. For g-d sake Terry Collins when you know you have a LOUSY team like this I was screaming at least try a suicide squeeze YOU DAMN FOOL!
