Mets 45-27 after 72 played
Pedro was more human than not (walking five over six), but he was resilient enough to earn win No. 7 on Thursday. And Jose Reyes and David Wright — "the left side of the infield for the next decade," so long as free agency or cost-cutting doesn’t come along — resumed their superhuman play, and all right around lunchtime.

Mets' Magic Number 
I have been a Mets fan for 41 years. I’ve been through the highs and lows of many seasons. I’m counting the days until we clinch. If and when we win it all. Will not be as sweet as 86′. Why?… Scott Kazmir. What was the organization thinking? We need him back!!! Give them Lastings and Heilman.
