Marlins Blow Out Mets 10-3 at San Juan, Puerto Rico Monday

The Florida Marlins played a home game against the visiting New York Mets last night and blew them out 10-3. R.A. Dickey did not have it for New York giving up 5 earned runs, 5 hits with 1 walk and 3 strikeouts in 5.0 innings to suffer his first loss of the season. Nieve and Igarashi weren’t much better giving up the other 5 Florida runs in the remaining 3 innings pitched. A bright spot for the Mets was Jason Bay who went 2-for-4 with 2 home runs and 3 RBIs. This could be a good sign for Bay as he hasn’t found his home run swing the entire season. David Wright continues to tear the cover off the ball also going 2-for-4. If Wright keeps this up he is a serious contender for National League MVP. Jose Reyes had a tough time in the field playing on the artificial surface. Maybe he should watch some film of how the great Ozzie Smith played shortstop in St. Louis. Jose has a cannon for an arm and should play back a few steps. He could still reach first with his arm and even bounce it to first base like The Wizard of Oz. Hey, better yet talk to Keith Hernandez who played with Ozzie for the Cardinals. Angel Pagan hopes to be in the lineup tonight and is looking forward to playing in Puerto Rico.
