Hats Off To Pelfrey

After a couple of losses over the weekend, I started to get a little frustrated, not et concerned but frustrated. Still, as a Met fan, concern is never too far away. Mike Pelfrey righted the ship. This young man has really come into his own. He now has pitched back-to-back complete games. He is the first pitcher to do that, and win both games, since Brett Saberhagen did it 13 years ago. That is certainly impressive.

It has become a pleasure to watch Pelfrey. Finally Met fans can finally see what the Mets saw in him all this time. I do believe he could easily be the ace of a staff in a few years. Having Santana and Pelfrey as a one-two punch could be reminiscent of Seaver and Koosman. I certainly like the chances with the two going back to back.

The other person that I enjoyed watching yesterday was Carlos Delgado. The man is in a groove. Hitting one three run homer is effective but he did that twice. Good day for him.

Now it is on to Philadelphia for a short two game series. The series may be short but certainly it is important and it would be great to see the Mets make a statement against the Phils. Hopefully, the worst that will happen will be a split.

Let’s Go Mets!
