Another Day, Another Loss
In losing to the Dodgers 3-2 last night at least the Mets made a game of it. Kaz Matsui led the game off with a homer and got a hit in the 9th against Eric Gagne to keep the game alive (even though his team mates weren't able to score against the closer who hasn't blown a save since September 2002). Steve Trachsel pitched pretty well despite giving up 2 homers including one to Dave Roberts in an epic 12 pitch at bat. (Roberts just kept fouling them back until he got one he could handle.) Milton Bradley made a few good catches in center field including a leaping grab to bring a Mike Cameron homer back in from over the wall.
Other notes:
Jose Reyes played all 9 innings of a rehab game with St. Lucie. He could return to the team during this weekend's series in San Diego.
Cliff Floyd is doing well and will probably play at least one rehab game. He too could return in San Diego.
Scott Erickson aggravated his injury yesterday. That will set him back an unknown period of time and means that Jae Seo will stay in the rotation a little longer.
