P Mike Pelfrey

8:20 Two men on base, Carp at second, and Wright at first … lets hope Beltran can move the base runners or drive them in ..

8:24 AND BELTRAN DOES IT! Beltran picks up a homerun, putting the Mets with a 3-0 lead to start the game. Man what a shot ..

8:32 Pelfrey gets a 1-2-3 inning on only 10 pitches, and struck out Koshansky. Pelfrey is looking good early in the game ..

8:39 Reyes up to bat, 2 outs, runner on second and Reyes drives in a run. 4-0 Mets, looking pretty damn good so far.

8:44 Mike Carp singles and moves Jose to third. Wright up at bat looking to score .. but he doesn’t.

8:52, Top of the 3rd Quitanilla is making Pelfrey working for a while, but Mike gives up a double. 2 outs remaining. Redman bunts the runner over to third, with 1 out remaining. Pelfrey jams the batter, making a hit towards Wright, and he throws the runner out at first.

9:11 Pelfrey has a runner on 1st, and gives up a single to have runners on the corners with one out. Mets defence helps Mike out by making a double play to end the inning. Hurdle is not happy with the call as he cames out of the dugout to talk with the umps.

9:18 Tatis was one first base when Castro came up to bat, and Castro moves him over to third with a single. Runners on the corners. No outs in the bottom of the 4th. Pelfrey bunts Castro over to 2nd. Reyes up, and looks like they will be walking him to load the bases.

9:23 Rockies make a pitching change, and bring in Speier. Evans is up with bases loaded, and will make a sac fly to bring in a run. 5-0 Mets, runners on the corners.

9:38 With a runner on first, Delgado drills a homerun to make the score 7-0.

9:58 Pelfrey has been pitching 7 shut out innings so far, good work by the big fella.

10:17 Pelfrey hits a batter, ironically right when the anouncers said that he hasn’t let up a walk since his last outing on tuesday ..

10:24 The crowd is in full support of Pelfrey, everyone is chanting “Let’s go Pelfrey” or “Pelfrey, Pelfrey”. He needs one more out to finish the inning. He makes the batter pop out to end the inninng. 8 shutout inninngs of Pelfrey. Chances are he won’t comeback for the 9th, hes thrown over 120 pitches.

10:34 Joe Smith is in to take the mound, that is the end of the night for Pelfrey. Looks like this game is almost done, with a score of 7-0. Mets shut out the Rockies, and win 9 straight.
