New Mozart Composition Discovered

According to an AP story by John Leicester, a new, previously unknown composition by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was discovered in a library in Western France. The single page is a sketch of a piece, just the melody, but is nonetheless a clearly huge discovery. See the link below for further details. I look forward to seeing the page and hearing this melody in the near future. Will comment further on this when more information is available.

Running Tally

When Luis Ayala struck out Roger Bernadini, who was representing the tying run, the Mets got a much needed, and unnecessarily tense, win. Their record 6 games into their final 17 games is now:

2 Wins

4 Losses

Two Wins Coming

Mets are struggling right now. No doubt. But, I want to say right now, on the record, that they are going to win tonight and tomorrow.

Scores? 10-6 tonight.

3-0 tomorrow with Santana.

You heard it hear first.

Keep the faith my friends.

12 to Go

Running Tally

After last night's disheartening 1-0 loss to the Cy Young and the 1923 New York Yankees, the Mets record in the final 17 game stretch of the season is:

1 Win

4 Losses

Running Tally

• Last year the Mets went 5-12 in their last 17 games, leading to their so-called collapse, and the loss of the National League Eastern Division to the Phillies by one game Since the 2008 Mets hit the potentially fateful 17 games remaining point in the season, their record is:

1 Win

3 Losses

14 Games to Go Part II

Disaster strikes the Mets again. A clearly compromised Pedro Martinez, kept the Mets in the game through the 5th, but cracked a little in the 6th. Mets were down 4-1 after Anderson Hernandez off all people got a huge two out single off Pedro. Then in the bottom of the seventh, Duaner Sanchez came in with two outs and gave up three runs before he recorded an out. Mets threatened to make it close in the 8th but a badly timed double play by David Wright pretty much snuffed out any chance they had.

Another really tough night for Mets fans, as the nightmare we lived through in September 2007, continues to seemingly play out again, in almost the exact same fashion. Again it started with the bullpen and seems to be spreading through the team. Pelfrey tonight can stop the bleeding with a big start tonight. Mets absolutely need a win tonight. Brandon Knight pitches tomorrow.

There you have it.
