Mets Braves 6/15

Dillon Gee on the mound for the Amusin's. The Mets once again have a chance to hit the .500 mark. It would be an earth shattering event to do this in Atlanta as the Braves have owned the Mets number forever.

Sitting in this rain delay watching the Bruins win the Stanley Cup I noticed a couple of stats pointed out during last night's broadcast- to wit over the past 18 games the starters had a 2.54 ERA and yet the Mets went 9 and 9 during that span. Since May 21st the Mets lead the league in batting average. I must be watching something else.

Okay, they've made it through 5- both starters are gone due to the length of the rain delay. There may be more stoppage due to rain. The game is official now.

Atlanta did a good job to get out of a bases-loaded none out situation giving up only one more run. Then again, maybe the Mets are saving the runs for tomorrow. Bobby Parnell has closer potential in his arm- somebody needs to tell his head.

We are at .500 again, can the playoffs be far behind?
