Good News and Bad News

Game 48: Mets 7, Marlins 2
31-17 for the season

Good News!

• Carlos Delgado had two home runs. His at-bats have been looking good since he went down in the lineup, and he seems now finally to have broken out of his slump.
• John Maine came back from a three-start slide, with a good night on the mound and a win.
• Endy Chavez had another gorgeous catch, this time in right field.

Bad News.

• Shawn Green was on crutches this afternoon, having fractured a bone in his foot the night before. Obviously, he didn't play.
  
• Carlos Gomez came out of the game having hurt his hamstring after touching first base in the early part of the game.
• Paul LoDuca came out of the game when it appeared he hurt his thumb, the same thumb he had surgery on in the off-season.

Bottom line: we're winning with a large part of our lineup on the DL, but only against the worst fielding team in baseball. It'll be interesting to see what happens when the Giants come to town next week.
