Mets Come Up Short Against Dodgers

by @ 9:32 pm. Filed under 2005 Season

At this point in the season, every game counts. That’s why today’s almost no-hitter turning into a loss was very tough to take. As it stands, we’re still there for the Wild Card, but we need to win these games.

In case you missed it, Pedro Martinez was five outs away from a no-hitter. Not only did he give up a hit to Antonio Perez, but the next hitter, Jayson Werth, took Pedro yard for the game winning run. The Mets managed ten hits, but only one crossed the plate.

Thursday was definitely the biggest disaster. If you haven’t seen “The Collision” by now, you haven’t watched TV since then because it was on just about every station. I ended up seeing it on CNBC of all places. Mike Cameron is on the DL and I’m afraid he’s out for the season (at least) and Carlos Beltran hasn’t played since then either.

All of that carried into a tough loss on Friday. The Mets were up 6-3 only to see the Dodgers tie it up and send the game into extra frames. Then in the tenth, Brandon Looper gave up the walk off homer to end the game. Victor Diaz, who was called up after Cameron went on the DL, hit two homers and drove in three runs. David Wright had two doubles and two RBIs.

Yesterday, Jae Seo did yet another Pedro impersonation by throwing a gem. Eight innings, five hits, one run and six strikeouts. Ramon Castro and Gerald Williams homered and Jose Reyes stole two bases.

The loss today puts the Mets four games back of the Astros with three teams, all from the NL East, ahead of them. They get a day off before hosting Pittsburgh. Two of three, even without a Pedro start, is a must. We have to take care of business against the bottom dwellars, especially on our home turf. The big series is this weekend when we square off against the Nationals. Hoping Beltran will be back by then and we can move up the food chain.

    “BREAKING NEWS”
    ===============

    -Energy and Asset Technology, Inc. (EGTY) owns a global license to market
    the genetically enhanced Global Cedar growth trees, with plans to
    REVOLUTIONIZE the forest-timber industry.

    These newly enhanced Globa| Cedar trees require only 9-12 years of growth
    before they can be harvested for lumber, whereas worldwide growth time for
    lumber is 30-50 years.

    Other than growing at an astonishing rate, the Global Cedar has a number
    of other benefits. Its natural elements make it resistant to termites, and
    the lack of oils and sap found in the wood make it resistant to forest fire,
    ensuring higher returns on investments.
    T
    he wood is very lightweight and strong, lighter than Poplar and over twice
    as strong as Balsa, which makes it great for construction. It also has
    the unique ability to regrow itself from the stump, minimizing the land and
    time to replant and develop new root systems.

    Based on current resources and agreements, EGTY projects revenues of $140
    Million with an approximate profit margin of 40% for each 9-year cycle. With
    anticipated growth, EGTY is expected to challenge Deltic Timber Corp. during
    its initial 9-year cycle.

    Deltic Timber Corp. currently trades at over $38.00 a share with about $153
    Million in revenues. As the reputation and demand for the Global Cedar tree
    continues to grow around the world EGTY believes additional multi-million
    dollar agreements will be forthcoming. The Global Cedar nursery has produced
    about 100,000 infant plants and is developing a production growth target of
    250,000 infant plants per month.

    Energy and Asset Technology is currently in negotiations with land and business
    owners in New Zealand, Greece and Malaysia regarding the purchase of their popular
    and profitable fast growing infant tree plants. Inquiries from the governments of
    Brazil and Ecuador are also being evaluated.

    The examples above show the Awesome, Earning Potential of little
    known Companies That Explode onto Investor�s Radar Screens.
