Today was (not surprisingly) a busy day for the Mets as they had Santana and Perez pitching today (Santana in a minor league game) and also the return of Reyes in a minor league game. Here's the good for today:
1) Reyes actually played today, and went 1-5
2) Bay hit a homer
2) Bay hit a homer
Sadly however, the “bad” for today really outweighed the good. Here's a rundown:
1) Murphy twisted his ankle and had to leave the game, he was actually having a good day, already 2-2 with a RBI
2) Cora had to leave the game today after being hit by a pitch
3) Santana pitched 5 innings. In the fourth inning, he allowed 7 runs. At least he didn't allow any runs in the other innings.
4. Perez's Line: 2.1 IP, 6 H, 7 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, 3 HR….ouch
5) According to Metsblog.com, it looks like Niese has been promoted to third starter position, and Pelfrey to be the second, without reading too much into this, could be a demotion for Perez and Maine (or not)

So yes, today wasn't exactly world's greatest day for the Mets. Initially I was concerned with the injuries. I'm not really concerened with Santana, because he is Santana however Perez is now starting to concern me quite a bit. I really hope he can turn that around. Anyway, here's hoping that tomorrow is a better day.
