Mets vs. Giants @ Shea Stadium, Game 55, 2005

As of late, I've refused to write any blogs seeing as how the Mets have been on a minor hot streak. So, I did not acknowledge the heroics of Pedro Martinez (and the sprinkler system), Mike Cameron's defense, and the Mets amazin' starting pitching. These facets of their game, and then some, have added to the overall positive attitude surrounding the Mets these days. They aren't at the top of the standings, but they are close, and with a little help from luck itself, they could find themselves pulling away from the competition if they heat up during the dog days of summer.

Following a win over the Diamondbacks, the Mets looked to win yet another series and they were up against the struggling San Francisco Giants. Tom Glavine dominated once again for seven-plus innings. His only tarnish on the day was a high fastball that Moises Alou sent over the left field fence. Aside from Glavine, the Mets also got some help from another struggling superstar. Mike Piazza delivered another big game as he collected 3 hits and 3 rbi to accompany them. Even the role players were contributing to the win and Chris Woodward found the winning contagious as he flashed some leather on the field. All in all, the Mets had taken another one at Shea and prepared themselves for a double-header on Sunday afternoon. Final score: Mets 5, Giants 1. Record: 29-26
