Mets v. Braves Game #1 6-1 (L)
I was not able to see any of the game, but from what I can gather John Maine was dreadful. According to Ron Darling Maine only threw 5 breaking balls the whole game. I don't know about you, but last time I checked you can't be successful throwing only fastballs.

Hold on to your hat, Luis Castillo hit a home run. I guess we now must call him Slappy McHomerton. Nice. The thing is, after that, they were silenced. What’s worse, they
had a golden opportunity in the first, but ripped two balls hard for outs. And that was that.In the third, with two outs, Ryan Church got a bad jump on a short fly ball by Chipper Jones, which he was unable to catch up. Naturally, Jones eventually scored on a line-drive single by Brian McCann, of course this was not helped out by a poor throw from Carlos Beltran.
Looking at Tom Glavine in a Braves uniform, it’s almost like he never pitched for the Mets.
I would get worked up over why Aaron Heilman is pitching in a close game, instead of Joe Smith, but, frankly, this game is not on the bullpen. Once again, it’s on the offense, who Glavine dominated.
