David Wright Awesome, Mike Pelfrey not so much

I guess Pelfrey entered the Citizens Bank Park marathon. After going 6 innings, giving up 8 runs on 3 homers, 10 hits and a walk, Pelfrey decided to go running. He had a 7.3% swinging strike percentage. So, despite the Mets scoring 4 runs in the first, he left with the Mets in a 8-4 hole.
It was 9-5 in the 8th, when Tatis doubled, and then David Wright decided to have some payback on Brett Myers, and homered. Daniel Murphy's single scored Beltran to make it 9-8. However in the eighth, Sean Green and Pedro Feliciano loaded the bases. No worry though, as Feliciano struck out Howard to end the inning. In the 9th Tatis singled with 2 outs, and then Wright hit another homer to make it 10-9. In the bottom of the 9th, K-Rod went 1,2,3 on the Phillies, striking out 2 to get his 31st save. This game does show what might've been; The Phillies are still going to win the division, but its nice to win this game. Mets elimination number is 4.
Stupid Decision of the Day: Using Takahashi against the lefties. He gave up 2 hits, a run and got his out on a fly out. He faced 3 lefties; this year lefties are batting .311/.407/.511. JERRY DO YOU READ THE STAT HANDOUTS THEY GIVE YOU? Elmer Dessens holds lefties to .188/.286/.354 line. And he wasn't used yesterday.
Random Thought of the Day: Beltran, Tatis, and Wright went a combined 10/15 with 3 homers, 8 rbi's, 8 runs, and 20 total bases. That's a .667/.667/1.333 line. For a 2.000 OPS. Pretty damn good.
Clutch Play of the Game: David Wright 2 run homer. +.723 WPA (72%!!!!)

David Wright- Out For The Year?

If David Wright is actually out for the season, as Jerry stated today, this could be a huge hit to the team even though the season is pretty much over for them. On Saturday David was hit by a pitch squarely on the head and was kept at the hospital over night, having concussion like symptoms. Wright is probably the best player on the team and when talking about players you absolutely have to keep, he is always the first name. His injury would go on a long list of injures that the Mets have suffered this season. Names like Reyes, Delgado, and Beltran are already on the list, so David would just be another name on the all star DL. The thing the Mets need to do is that if he is done for the year, don't risk it by trying to shorten his recovery time. The Mets need to accept that they have nothing to play for any more and leave their injuries alone. That means that Beltran, Delgado, Reyes, maybe Wright, and all other major players that are injured should not play this season to make sure that they are fully recovered for next season.
----Aidan G.: There are 11 people on the DL right now.
