Mets 5, St. Louis 4

The Cards (20-19) lost in the ninth to the Mets (19-20). They play two more. It would be mega-freaky if the Mets sweep and the Cards head to Chicago under .500.

Scott Rolen had another big day (yawn) and is now hitting .331 with 13 walks in 135 at-bats. The next time someone tells you that Jack Wilson is off to a good start this year, look 'em in the eye and say this: "Yeah, but Scott Rolen has 13 walks in 135 at-bats." That will shut 'em up.

Reggie Sanders went 0-for-4. This guy is streaky. When's he due? Looking at the log, I guess he picks it up two weeks from today. Oh great, that would be at Pittsburgh at the end of the month.

For the Mets, the great Ty Wigginton went 0-for-3 but he drew a walk so his .205 average isn't so bad as it looks. Izzy, pitching in his upteenth every-other-day appearance, got roughed up and blew his second save of the year. Yawn.
