Mets Cruise Their Way Through Mother's Day

First and foremost I would like to say Happy Mother's Day to all you Mothers out there. Today the Mets gave their Mom's a special treat by winning the afternoon game against the Reds. Beltran gave his mom a really special treat as he went 2-5 with a homer, 3 rbis, and 2 runs. Next comes the ironic part, isn't it ironic that Ryan Church hits a homer on a Sunday??? Oliver Perez went five strong innings and one not so strong. His not so strong one was the 6th when he allowed 3 runs on 2 hits and a couple of walks. His full line was: 6 IP, 3 earned runs, 8 strikeouts, 4 walks, and 3 hits. He also stole a base along with Jose Reyes who stole two. The best signs of the game: every starter except Brian Schiender got a hit; Reyes  going 3-5, 2 runs, and stole two bases, and Beltran's amazing game. Bad news: Luis Castillo straing his hammy and most likely won't play Monday. The Mets didn't gain any ground on the Marlins but soon they have a 3-game series and the Mets are now tied with the Phils in 2nd place. The Mets play the Nats next tomorrow at 7:10. Happy Mother's Day!

(P.S. There was a big confusing in the 9th when the Reds put out the wrong batter and batted in the wrong order. There was one delay that took like seven minutes, then after David Ross sinngled in his 2nd straight at-bat after taking Corey Patterson's place and getting out for him the was another 5 minute delay about the same thing... All very confusing????) To get a better understanding of the game and what happened, go here: http://mlb.mlb.com/media/video.jsp?mid=200805112683080 !!!
