Murphy And Mets Explode For 17 Runs

Daniel Murphy ended his home run drought by smacking two dingers at Wrigley Field yesterday. Along with Ike Davis' three-run shot and Scott Hairston's grand slam, the Mets went on to salvage the three-game series against the Cubs, 17-1. Prior to his first home run of the game, Murphy had not hit one since July 16th of last year.

"I don't know the at-bats, but apparently it was a long time because you guys asked me a lot of questions about that."

Mike Baxter Was Safe

I just watched the Mike Baxter play in the top of the ninth inning of today's 2-0 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays and without a doubt, Baxter was safe. I would love to hear what Yunel Escobar had to say about that play. It was clear as day. It's a shame because the Mets would have had runners on second and third with just one out and Daniel Murphy at the plate instead of two outs and Scott Hairston on third.
