Mets produce first win for Terry Collins in 12 years

It didnt take long for the Mets skipper to achive a vicotry as the Met manager. Game#2 was an intense battle but the Mets won after K Rod Blew a save in the 9th by scoring 3 in the 10th as the Mets beat the Fish 6-4.


Collins used basically his entire bench sans Nickeas as he did in game #1. Which makes you think that if your on the Mets bench, be ready to get into the contest.


Jon Niese had a rough 1st inning but made it through 7 on 86 pitches when pulled and giving up just the 2 runs in the first. Collins thought that the rough 1st inning was why the manager took him out after only 86 pitches. Every move that Collins made didnt backfire.


Bobby Parnell pitched a really good 8th inning. K Rod blew the save in the 9th but the Mets rallied with 3 hits in the 10th from Reyes,Pagan and lookie me Mr CLutch David Wright. Super sub Willie Harris plated 2 with a double.


Blaine Boyers achieved his 2nd save of his career.  Collins said after the game about how intense it was that this is baseball. The Mets played hard and didnt give up. A good game for the Mets and they go for the rubber game of the 3 with R A Dickey on the mound today.
