Mets Rangers 6/24

Whenever I hear Rangers, I think New York and not Texas. However, the reason the New York Rangers got their name was because the owner's name was Tex Rickard, and the press referred to the team as Tex's Rangers.

The fact that the Mets came into this game 1 game below .500 meant the odds would not be in their favor. Like the sound barrier, they just can't seem to break through. When the first Ranger's hit ball had the misfortune to land in Jason Bay's glove and decided to jump out prompting Angel Pagan to fall it looked embarrassing. You can't blame Pelfrey for giving up the 2 run jack.

Pelfrey has pitched well after not showing up with his "A" game. Though, to be honest, this line-up would be tough even against his best stuff (Don, I threw that in for you, in case you drop by). Harrison can bring it- consistently hitting the mid 90's, but he's all over the place. They showed a stat that said the Mets are 5- 10 when at or 1 game below .500

All right, at 6-1 Rangers, color this game over.
