In Game: Mets @ Cardinals

The Mets are currently in a rain delay in the middle of the seventh inning. The Mets currently have a 4-3 lead. Tommy Glavine walked in the top of the third inning, Jose Reyes then came up and hit his third homerun of the season to make it 2 - 0 in favor of the Mets. In the top of the fourth Xavier Nady singled with two outs to score David Wright making it 3 - 0. In the bottom of the fifth Tom Glavine gave up his first runs of the game. One off the bat of Hector Luna, the other off a sacrifice fly by David Eckstein. Then in the 6th Garry Bennett tied the game on a line drive to center. The Mets quickly retaliated in the 7th. Kaz Matsui struck out, Jose Valentine came in for Glavine and scorched one right at Juan Encarnacion, and just as it looked like Tom Glavine was about to get a no decision, Jose Reyes walked and stole second, then Paul LoDuca ("The Duke" as my friend Dan at Lone Star Mets calls him) drove him in with a double. At the end of the inning the rain began to pour in St.Louis and the umps paused the game.

Now this is no ordinary rain delay. If the game does not restart the Mets will not win this game. They will suspended the game and it will be continued from this point. The reason for this is because the Away team scored the go ahead run in the top of the inning and the Home team must be given the opportunity to come back. If the seventh inning had been completed and then the rain delay began the game would just be stopped and the Mets would attain the victory.














Update 12:00 AM ET: After one hour and fourty minutes we will play baseball in St.Louis as the game will continue. Aaron Heilman takes the mound for the Mets in the bottom of the seventh with a 4 - 3 lead.
