RA Dickey pitches another great game for the Mets

- The Mets won 4-3 behind the strong pitching of RA Dickey, who gave up three runds in 6-plus innings.

- Dickey also had two hits on the day.

- Henry Blanco said after the game he had a herniated disc in his neck, which he received a shot for. That’s why the Mets called up Omar Santos.

- This is the Mets 20th home win, which is the most in the Majors.

- This is also their sixth straight win at Citi Field. The last time they lost a game at home, it was on May 21st against the Yankees.

- Ruben Tejada went 1-4 tonight with a third inning double and drove in the go-ahead run on a groundout in the sixth for his first MLB RBI.

- Jeff Francoeur has hit in eight straight games hitting .500 over that stretch with two doubles and four RBI.

- Jason Bay was 2-4 with an RBI. Dating back May 9th against San Francisco he is hitting .429 at home with five doubles, two homers and 10 RBI.

- Angel Pagan picked up an assist in the third inning for his team leading sixth.

- The last time an opponent hit a homer at Citi Field was May 12th when Roger Bernadina of the Nats hit two.

- The Mets will make a decision tomorrow on Jon Niese. They still home Oliver Perez will accept a demotion, but it doesn’t sound hopeful.

Jerry Manuel ponders his future with Oliver Perez

- The way Omar was talking today, Oliver Perez is probably not getting set down tomorrow. It will mean a tremendous change of heart from the right if he was planning on taking the demotion.

- Minaya acted dumb when asked about the disabled list option.

- Matthews was DFAed today because the first number of his batting average was less than the first number of on the amount of money the Mets owed him.

- Perez will eventually be moved. It will be a matter of time OR an injury will occur and the Mets will be forced to use him in an emergency. But if that was the case, he would probably have been used already.

- The general consensus among the reporters in the Box is that this is more Ollie than Boras.

But he is hurting the team so something needs to be done soon.

I will have more on this on NY Sports Day later.
