Posted: 28th June 2010 by Sammy Makki in MLB
SAN JUAN, PR-- For the first time as a Met this season, R.A. Dickey couldn't get the job done with his knuckler, getting hit around and only lasting five innings. The humidity didn't help Dickey out, and the Marlins pounced on him early and often, getting the pitcher for five runs on five hits.
The Mets got a leadoff single from Jose Reyes in the first, but couldn't produce a "Reyes run" as he ...

Posted: 28th June 2010 by Os Kavcar in NBA

Posted: 28th June 2010 by Lou Boudreau in MLB
Entering Sunday Night's save opportunity, Kerry Wood's ERA was a less than modest 7.98. He was 1-3 with five saves in eight chances.
