ATL HR -
NYM HR - R. Casanova (1) C. Delgado 2 (3)
I will be honest, I did not pay a lot of attention to these games this weekend. I could not see them on Tee Vee, and I was spending time with my kids. I had the games on the computer, and I went in to check periodically, but especially since they were both afternoon games, I just wasn't following obsessively.
Maybe that's a good thing. Decent pitching, just enough hitting. A few big homers from Delgado. But they need to play like this for a prolonged period. I think they now need a decisive sweep over the Pirates. And Delgado needs to abuse opposing pitchers for a little while here too. I mean, he needs to tear it up for a few weeks straight. And scoring some more runs would help, too, though I hope Sunday was the start of that.
Overall, encouraging, I think. Especially if they sustain it.

Alright, not a bad pair of wins and against the Atlanta Jerkwads so that's almost twice as nice. Still only two games over .500 -- gotta get better than that! And did you look at Saturday's box score? Heilman: 1 IP 2 H 1 ER. Are you kidding me?!?! He will be the DEATH OF THE METS if they keep putting him in. Well, the game wasn't blown because of Heilman... but ya never know. At least Delgado's hot, at least for a game. Two dingers doesn't necessarily break a guy out of a slump... it's gotta be a prolonged period of run production. We'll see.
Good weekend, though!
