The Palms went down 3-0 early but gradually fought their way back, until they tied it in the 8th inning. Art McLoughlin came in and, well, scuffled.

In the Palms' last 10 games, despite the fact that the team has gone 4-6, the pitching is showing signs of life. The bullpen, abysmal all year, is coming around more than the starters. Ivan Fernandez is 0-3 in his last three starts, for example, but in the last 10 games, Art McLaughlin has a 1.08 ERA. Dennis Sarfate hasn't allowed a run in the 6 innings. As a staff, the opponent batting average is .288 in the past 10, well below the season average to this point. Much needs to be done to improve the staff, of course, but a few good outings are certainly appreciated.

The Palms emptied their bullpen in this one. After Kevin Correia felt some tightness in his pitching shoulder, Thanks to pinch hitting and a little bit of scuffling, every available pitcher, including yesterday's short starter Troy Munoz was used. Munoz ended up with his first career save because the Palms came through with the go ahead run in the top of the 11th on an RBI Tony Abreu single. The game was tied in the 9th when Jaspero Gonzalez had an RBI double. The Palms came back from an early 5-1 deficit to tie it and eventually win it.

The Palms and Pirates fought tooth and nail for a few innings, then the Palms took off and scored three in the 8th, adding another in the 9th. Don Schoppe and Manny Parra made things interesting, however, letting the Pirates score three, including 2 on a home run by Matt Diaz. The Pirates left 2 men on base in the bottom of the inning, however, and the Palms opened the series with a win. Former Palm Eddie Black hit a solo home run with his first at bat of Javier Vazquez.

The Palms are almost at the half way point on the season, and it's pretty easy to pick out who might be doing well in certain situations. Here are some examples. Against LH Pitchers, Jaspero Gonzalez is hitting .373, Paul Janish is hitting .233 Against RH Pitchers, Martin Prado is hitting .343, while Randy Winn is hitting .238. With the bases empty, Billy Dupont is hitting .377. The team has 56 solo home runs. With the bases full, the team is only batting .246. They only have 34 RBI (more with the bases empty)

It was the third solid pitching matchup in a row between the Mets and Palms, as knuckleballer R A Dickey helped shut down the Palms offense (save for a Martin Prado home run in the 5th). Ivan Fernandez did well in his outing, but scuffled in the 4th and 6th innings, allowing two in each.

It's been a long month without revealing the player of the month for May. For the second month in a row, Gonzalez was the MVP. He had three player of the game awards early but faded. He ended the month hitting .307 for the season, but his strong start kept the team from complete early collapse. Ayoz Sadan was close to winning the title thanks to his power surge, however his successes came when the team was losing.

For the second game in a row, the Palms came back on a dominant closer from the National League. They were down 1 in the bottom of the 9th in Queens, when Omir Santos had a pinch hit, one out single, followed by Frank Sohn, who also singled, and Martin Prado, who drove in the tying run. The game went to the 11th, after which Josh Thole hit a walk off home run to end it.

The Giants ran out ahead of the Palms early in this one, thanks to a three run homer by Aubrey Huff in the second that made if 5-1. The Palms tried to make a game of it, getting 3 runs in the 6th after a two run blast from Frank Sohn and a solo shot from Paul Janish. Jose Molina had two home runs of his own in this one, but the offensive prowess of the Giants was too much in this one.

The Red Sox were dominant from the mound in this one. Clay Buchholz went 6 shut out innings before giving way to the bullpen.

Kevin Correia dominated the Red Sox through 6 and was picked up by a strong bullpen. The offense was buoyed by the unlikely trio of Frank Sohn, Randy Winn and Paul Janish, who each home runs.

The game went back and forth for the first few innings. The Red Sox kept Tim Wakefied in for longer than the Palms left starter Troy Munoz in, which was Boston's ultimate undoing, as each bullpen ended up pitching well.

Gio Gonzalez didn't exactly shut the Palms down, but Miami was unable to string together much, only one run in the third.
