Re: MLB 12: The Show (PS3) - New York Mets Franchise: From Debacle to Amazin' AGAIN!
The Phillies series was a big bust as the Mets were swept.
Game 1:
Phillies - 9
Mets - 0
W: Cliff Lee (1-1)
L: RA Dickey (1-1)
S: None
Game 2:
Phillies - 1
Mets - 0
W: Vance Worley (1-1)
L: Jon Niese (0-2)
S: Jonathan Papelbon (3)
Game 3:
Phillies - 4
Mets - 2
W: Cole Hamels (1-1)
L: Mike Pelfrey (1-1)
S: Papelbon (4)
The Mets headed to Atlanta for 3 games against the Braves to conclude a 6 game road swing:
Game 1:
Braves - 3
Mets - 4
W: Jon Rauch (1-0)
L: Johnny Venters (0-1)
Save: None
The Mets took game 1 of the series, no problem. You'd think that we'd be able to take game 2 and pull off the upset, right? WRONG! Take a look:
Game 2:
Braves - 4
Mets - 3
W: Randall Delgado (2-0)
L: JJ Putz (0-1)
We blew a 3-1 lead in the 8th inning as JJ Putz blows his first save since being traded from the Diamondbacks back to the Mets. There's still game 3. We have a chance to come back and win. However, you can't always get what you want.
Game 3:
Braves - 6
Mets - 4
W: Cristhian Martinez (2-0)
L: Hector Santiago (0-1)
Another blown lead for the Mets turns into another loss as the Amazins fall off the pace in the NL East. Nothing a trip back to Citi Field can't fix. The San Francisco Giants are waiting to greet us.
Game 1:
Giants - 0
Mets - 1
W: Dillon Gee (2-0)
L: Ryan Vogelsong (1-1)
S: JJ Putz (4)
Dillon Gee comes up big for us on the mound, pitching 7 strong innings for us. Oh, by the way, new acquisition Colby Rasmus comes through with a pinch-hit RBI double to win the game. If you're wondering how I got Rasmus in my franchise....I'll get to that after the game rundowns.
Game 2:
Giants - 3
Mets - 7
W: Johan Santana (1-2)
L: Tim Lincecum (2-1)
S: James Frasor (2)
Santana picks up his first win of the season, besting Tim Lincecum. David Wright, Stephen Drew, Ike Davis and Gordon Beckham all had home runs to power the Mets offense as the Amazins continue their climb back to the top of the NL East.
Game 3:
Giants - 3
Mets - 4
W: RA Dickey (2-1)
L: Barry Zito (2-1)
S: JJ Putz (5)
A close call for the Mets that time as Dickey nearly blows YET ANOTHER lead in the late innings. However, Putz is able to come on and shut down the Giants for the final 5 outs to take game 3 and the series. Get the brooms out because there's the possibility of a sweep in some afternoon baseball!
Game 4:
Giants - 9
Mets - 3
W: Madison Bumgarner (2-1)
L: Jon Niese (0-3)
Bumgarner was too tough for Mets hitters to handle as New York falls 9-3 in the rubber match of the 4 game set with San Francisco. The homestand isn't over as Miami comes to town for 3 games in Jose Reyes' return to New York.
Now for those trades:
To Mets:
LF Jason Kubel
To Diamondbacks:
CF Alex Rios
To Mets:
LF Alfonso Soriano
CF Reed Johnson
SP Chris Volstad
To Cubs:
RF Lucas Duda
CF Andres Torres
SP Jon Niese
To Mets:
SP Brett Cecil
RP James Frasor
CF Colby Rasmus
To Blue Jays:
SP Dan Montoya (B potential)
RP Tim Byrdak
LF John Mayberry Jr.
My team now looks like this:
Catcher: Josh Thole
3rd Base: David Wright
2nd Base: Gordon Beckham
Shortstop: Stephen Drew
1st Base: Ike Davis
Left Field: Jason Kubel
Center Field: Reed Johnson
Right Field: Alfonso Soriano
Rotation:
1. Johan Santana
2. RA Dickey
3. Mike Pelfrey
4. Chris Volstad
5. Brett Cecil
Bullpen:
LR: Brad Lidge
LR: Hector Santiago
LR: Josh Edgin
LR: Elwin Ramirez
MR: Ramon Ramirez
MR: Sean Burnett
MR: Jeremy Hefner
SU: James Frasor
SU: Jon Rauch
Closer: JJ Putz
I am currently tied with the Washington Nationals for 4th place in the NL East, 3 games back of the Braves.
