Strange Brew

Notes after the Mets’ 6-5, 10-inning loss in Milwaukee:
-- Cliff Floyd looked lost in his one at-bat after entering the game in a double switch. Against lefty Jorge De La Rosa, he fouled off the first two pitches and then struck out looking. He’s now hitting .195.
-- Mike Pelfrey was the losing pitcher for Double-A Binghamton on Sunday against Altoona. In five innings, he allowed seven hits and three runs.
-- Three Mets and three Brewers used pink bats for at least part of the game as part of MLB’s “Strikeout Challenge,” a week-long program to increase awareness of breast cancer through the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. The Mets were Carlos Delgado, David Wright and Xavier Nady. The Brewers were Bill Hall, Prince Fielder and Doug Davis. Mets players also wore pink armbands.
--- For one Met, the bats and wristbands really hit home. Pitcher Darren Oliver’s mother, Hazel, was diagnosed with the disease during spring training and underwent two surgeries. Oliver left the team at the end of spring training to be with her; she’s recovering at home in California. “It’s different when you’re here and you don’t know anybody who’s gone through it,” he said. “When you know somebody who’s gone through it, it’s a different story.”

I know Randolph wants to leave Heilman in the bullpen, but how much longer can you get virtually nothing from the No. 4 and 5 spots in the rotation? Games count just as much now as they do in September. Not panic time, but a seven-game lead evaporating in two weeks is cause for concern.

Willie lost this one 5-4 Yanks win......Never should have happened..
