The Maine Event


Mets fans can breathe easy for the moment when it comes to the starting rotation. John Maine looked brilliant this afternoon as the Mets rolled to another Grapefruit League victory.

After Oliver Perez and Mike Pelfrey looked less than stellar in their starts, John Maine proved why the Mets will rely on him to carry the pitching load along with Johan Santana this season.

Maine threw four scoreless, hitless innings in today's 3-0 win over the Houston Astros as his fastball stayed consistently around 94 mph.

Speaking of Santana, he will make his third start tomorrow against the Red Sox. Look for him to throw four innnings.
