6-0 Braves

The only reason to watch Mets games now is Josh Thole and Daniel Murphy (and when he plays, Jerry, Nick Evans). Yesterday, Thole went 1/3 with a walk, and now has a .409/.417/.455 line with a OPS of .871. Nick Evans got a pinch hit appearance, and fouled out. The Mets got 3 hits and 3 walks off of a very impressive Tommy Hanson, who struck out 8 (11.6% swinging strike!). Daniel Murphy had 2 hits, and is batting .260/.310/.406 for a .716 OPS. As late as May 9th he was at .308/.369/.473, but it kind of went down hill, though he did have an okay August. Pat Misch was pretty bad for the seconsd start in a row, going 5 innings, giving up 4 runs and not striking out anyone. Elmer Dessens and Brian Stokes gave up single runs.
Jeff Francoeur saw 10 pitches in 4 plate appearences and has an OBP of .303. Ryan Church has an OBP of .339, and also leads Francoeur in batting average, .274 to .273. But not slugging, but he does win in OPS. 3/4 for Church. By the way, there are 17 games left in the season, and the only thing we can blow is our draft pick. But that would involve winning.
Stupid Decision of the Day: I don't think Jerry could change this game.
