Here are this morning’s Mets links: The Mets lost last night by a score of 5-2. R.A. Dickey was only alright. Combine that with only three hits on offense and you have a big problem. Even a dramatic late-inning home run by Jordany Valdespin couldn’t save them. (Post, Box Score) The Mets called up Matt …

Mets Call Up Acosta Again, Send Beato Down
The Mets sent Pedro Beato back to Buffalo after his awful outing last night. In his place, they called up Manny Acosta. Beato, a Rule 5 pick in 2010, just returned from injury this month. He pitched a total of 4.1 innings over seven outings, pitching to a 10.38 ERA, largely thanks to last night’s …

Bullpen Implodes, Mets Lose 8-2
The scoring in today’s game was completely backwards. If you told me the Phillies would score eight runs today, I would have said they would have been scored on Mike Pelfrey and not the Mets bullpen- which has been lights-out this season.

Mets Sweep Braves Behind Niese, Offense
Although the Met offense looked great today, pounding the Braves’ pitching staff for seven runs on eleven hits, the real story of the day may have been what Niese did- or almost did.
