"The Long Island Railroad is on strike, while the one Met pitcher who's stayed on track more consistently than any other is out of service. Any other good news from Friday night? Oh yeah, the Mets reverted to moribund form in losing the first game of the Subway Series, 5-2."
"Whether my fellow rail-riding Long Islanders can get to the next pair of home games in a timely fashion is up for grabs. Whether anybody in the Metropolitan Area will be frothing to arrive at Citi Field to root for the home team is debatable. The incremental progress from this week's sweep of the TIgers was blotted out initially by Cam Schlittler's overwhelming six-and-two-thirds innings of two-hit, nine-strikeout ball."
"The ritual smothering of Met offense turned secondary once it was learned postgame that Clay Holmes had his fibula fractured when a hot shot off the bat of newly minted unintentional Yankee villain Spencer Jones struck him on the right leg. The immediate result was Jones on first and a trainer to the field to examine Holmes."
Faith and Fear in Flushing is a Mets-focused blog created by two lifelong Met fans. A Long Island Railroad strike coincided with the Mets losing the first Subway Series game 5-2. The Mets reverted to ineffective form after a prior week’s sweep of the Tigers. Cam Schlittler delivered strong pitching with six and two-thirds innings, two hits, and nine strikeouts. Met offense was further affected when Clay Holmes suffered a fractured fibula after being struck by a ball off Spencer Jones’s bat. The injury led to Jones reaching first and trainers examining Holmes on the field.
