The Mets completed the sweep of the Washington Nationals tonight when Damion Easley scored the game winning run in the bottom of the 14th on a wild pitch by Joel Hanrahan.

After all the talk of the booing at Shea over the weekend against the Brewers, the Mets really needed to come out and put a few wins together, and thats exactly what they did. Even if it is the Nationals, who once again look like they're gonna be abysmal this year, any wins at all have to be confidence boosters for the Mets, and hopefully this week will help to put 2007 away for good.

Nelson Figueroa was brilliant once again tonight, going 7 innings, giving up 2 runs on 3 hits, and had 7 strikeouts. Not to mention he had one hell of a web gem against a liner hit by opposing pitcher John Lannan, catching the ball behind his back on the follow through of the pitch. The only blip in Figueroa's night was a two run homer to Nick Johnson in the 4th inning. Not bad for a guy we were considering our number 7 starter coming into the season. Who needs Pedro when we got Nelson Figueroa???

The big hit of the game was Carlos Delgado's game tying single in the 8th inning. Holy crap did Delgado actually get a big hit in a big spot with two outs???

This weekend, the Mets will head out to Philly for a 3 game series with the rival Phillies. Johan Santana will take on Phillies ace Cole Hamels... talk about a match up of aces, it should be one hell of a game.
