Last night another game, another meaningless victory over the Colorado Rockies, this time by a 3-2 margin which moved them into sole possession of third place. Fish, eateth our dusteth.
The victory was due, in large part, to Marlon Anderson putting a curse on the Rockies in the middle of the game:
Marlon's black magic stifles Rockies catcher Danny Ardoin.
The game also saw rookie Mike Jacobs raise the bar higher still on Met fan expectations for next season with his 10th homer of his reasonably young season.
A Tale of Two Pitchers
Kris Benson, 7 1/3 innings giving up only six hits and two runs sparked vague memories of
Tom Glavine shutting out the Rockies the night before.
Ok, one's a righty and one's a lefty, but they have the same set jaw, the same short hair and oh, well two different wives.
Tom's wife, Chris, cutting up pieces of Tom's auld Braves uniform whilst their son Jonathan, looks on. Chris and Tom are well involved in fighting childhood cancer.
Meanwhile, Anna Benson, sitting around looking trampish, as she does best. Anna's husband, Mr Anna Benson, spends most of his free time discussing philosophy and keeping his wife out of bar room brawls.

Meanwhile, Bradon Looper will undergo surgery to see if the misfiring synapses in his brain which cause him to throw gopher balls at crucial moments in the game, can be repaired.
In related news, Aaron Heilman earned his 5th save of his young season as a closer and will simply have to be called upon to do the same next season as opposed to spending billions of pesos on someone like Billy Wagner.

Notice how serious Willie has been of late about the Mets finishing big?
Now he's got Marlon Anderson starting in right field over Victor Diaz who still cannot field and still has no plate discipline.
Anderson hit a moon shot last night to help the Mets to victory.
