Another day, another signed ball, another 2-1 Padres win. You may not mess with the Zohan but the Padres did OK with the Johan last night. Not that I would ever say that 2 runs over 6 IP is a bad start but considering he had a 1-0 lead and he gave up RBI singles on 1-2 counts, I would call it disappointing. My problem so far has been the anemic offense. The Mets have been shot down by Josh Banks and Randy Wolf, not exactly Maddux, Peavy or Young. What makes it so frustrating is despite how well they were swinging the bats against the Giants earlier in the week, as most .500 teams do, they follow up putting on a hitting display with the bats going silent. But hey, at least we didn’t lose the game on a dropped fly ball.
Today’s signed ball:
