Game One Hundred Thirty-Three - Cubs 2 Mets 6 WP - Brian Stokes (2-4, BS 2) LP - Kevin Gregg (5-6) Save - Francisco Rodriguez (29) The Chicago Cubs have begun mailing in what is left of the season. So much for playing for pride, this team just looks like they want the year over as quickly as possible. A day after being shutout by Carlos Torres, the Cubs allowed Bobby Parnell to throw seven innings of shutout ball on Friday night ... less than a week after they took bating practice against him at Wrigley Field. Carlos Zambrano put together his best outing since July. Zambrano made just one mistake in six innings. Cory Sullivan hit his first home run of the season off of Zambrano in the second ... and the Mets pitching almost made the solo shot hold up. The Cubs tied the game in the top of the eighth on basically an unearned run. Milton Bradley reached on a bloop double to right center. The routine pop up fell in the middle of Angel Pagan, Jeff Francoeur and Luis Castillo. ...

Game & Series Recap: Mets 4, Cubs 2 (1 game to 2)

Via Goat Riders of the Apocalypse  |  September 06, 2009
Randy Wells didn't have his best stuff ever today, as he surrendered 7 hits in 6 innings and 95 pitches, but he was effective enough that he should have gotten the job done.  Instead, the Mets appeared to rub the belly of the Cubs offense, which promptly rolled over and continued its slumber.  Of course, Kevin Gregg did his best to continue the ruination of his season...

A REASON TO STILL WATCH METS GAMES

Via The Eddie Kranepool Society  |  September 05, 2009
Here is why I still watch Mets games this season. Because of last nights top of the seventh inning. In a year one miserable game after another, there comes along Bobby Parnell, bases loaded, no outs and the manger keeping himself in the dugout. After giving up a double and a walk, Parnell found himself in a world of trouble. Sam Fuld fouled off two bunt attempts trying to move the...

Cubs-Mets Preview.

Via GlobalNYM.Blogspot.com  |  September 04, 2009
Both the Cubs and Mets are looking for consistency. The Cubs can't seem to find a rhythm; they'll win a couple in a row but then lose a couple in a row. Meanwhile, the Mets cannot win a series; they are now 0-8-2 in their last 10 series and have a notorious habit of winning the getaway game of a series after dropping the first two. While of course the Mets are long gone...
