The Pitching matchup
The Lineup
Commentary
No Shawn Green today with a lefthander on the mound, so Gomez gets another start...
Tonight is the last game of Lastings Milledge’s three-game suspension. Marlon Anderson could have hearing either tomorrow or Wednesday....

Mets Merized Game Notes
The Mets have scored seven or more runs in six straight games and fifty runs in the past seven days. That is a remarkable display of offense, and clearly shows how dominating and intimidating this lineup can be to an opposing pitcher.
Moises Alou not only set the all-time franchise record with his 26 game hitting streak, he also set the 2007 hitting streak mark and the best ever mark for a hitting sterak for anyone over 40. Would the Mets be this close to clinching it if not for the contributions of Moises Alou?
Billy Wagner said that the homerun he gave up on Sunday had nothing to do with his back spasms and that it was a bad pitch. Whew... That makes me feel so much better. :-/
Okay, when will the Mets clinch? Thursday? Friday? Saturday? Choose just one day and I will keep track of your selections. I will then take all the correct entries and choose a winner. The winner will receive the newly released book entitled "The New York Mets" by Richard Grossinger.
LETS GO METS!
