San Diego is German for 'anemic offense'
I'm not sure if Josh Banks is a true star in the making or just another one of these young, inexperienced pitchers that look like the next coming of Bob Gibson when they face the Mets.
Five hits is all the Mets mustered against Banks and the Padres relief corps in a 2-1 loss that ended with Scott Schoeneweis' walk-off hit batsman. Seriously. Schoeneweis, who had been pitching well but has had two straight clunkers, walked two batters and induced a groundout before intentionally walking the bases loaded to face the fearsome Paul McAnulty.
The Mets' five hits all came against Banks, who threw six innings. They went hitless in the final three innings and overall looked pathetic at the plate. Only Jose Reyes showed any life, with two hits and reaching base three times. David Wright singled in Reyes in the sixth with one out, but then Carlos Beltran promptly hit into a double play.
Mike Pelfrey had a decent performance, limiting damage in his six innings, allowing eight hits and three walks on 112 pitches. The Padres, who can't score, outhit the Mets, 12-5. Johan Santana will look to end the nonsense Friday - hopefully the Mets will get him some runs.

The Mets were not hitting, that's fine! neither were the Padres, but at least they got some help from our manager, who decided to walk the bases loaded, with a pitcher whom had just walked a batter and hit a batter, and so Willie thinks that with the bases-loaded he would all of a sudden become an ace pitcher. Thats some we manager we have.
