Moises Alou set the tone in the 1st inning with a 3 run shot off Tom Glavine, that followed a 007 Bonds walk. Glavine was going to pitch to Bonds in the 1st, but was squeezed on a 2-0 pitch, and then walked Bonds rather then play around at 3-0. Alou then followed with a blast to left field to make the game 3-0, and the Mets offense never got on track, as that proved to be enough in a 6-2 win for el gigantes. Glavine pitched into the 7th, giving up all 6 runs. David Wright continued his slide, going 0-4, and the Mets lone runs came in the 6th on consecutive singles by Kaz, Reyes and Lo Duca. Beltran was annouced as unavailable for this 3 game series, and would be relooked at in Atlanta on Friday. At which time I think he goes DL bound and Victor Diaz comes back up. And good news, as the Braves have decided to give Smoltzy an extra days rest, so now he can pitch against the Amazins on Friday night.............YES!!!!!!!!!!
