The shame of it is, the Mets did a good job against Halladay, and their young players contributed in the comeback effort. Unfortunately, Dickey just didn't have it, and therefore the Mets finish off a losing road trip.
Upcoming schedule:New York Mets:August 10-12 vs. Colorado RockiesAugust 13-15 vs. Philadelphia Phillies
Colorado Rockies:August 10-12 at New York MetsAugust 13-15 vs. Milwaukee Brewers Newton Heath initially played on a field on North Road, close to the railway yard. the original capacity was about 12,000, but club officials deemed the facilities inadequate for a club hoping to join The Football League. Some expansion took place in 1887,Rey Maualuga Jersey, and in 1891 Newton Heath used its minimal financial reserves to purchase two grandstands,SIDNEY CROSBY Jersey, each able to hold 1,000 spectators. Although attendances were not recorded for many of the earliest matches at North Road,Martin Brodeur Jersey, the highest documented attendance was approximately 15,000 for a First Division match against Sunderland on 4 March 1893. A similar attendance was also recorded for a friendly match against Gorton Villa on fifth September 1889.
The Mets got off to a promising start. They hit Roy Halladay hard in the first inning, producing a run two batters in. Jose Reyes doubled and was driven in by Angel Pagan, giving the Mets a quick 1-0 lead. Pagan would then steal both second and third base and scored on an Ike Davis infield single off the glove of Halladay.
The Mets started to rally back from the four run deficit against Halladay in the sixth. Just like in the opening inning, Jose Reyes doubled and Pagan singled him in, making it 6-3.

The most important note of all, is that with today's Braves win,Milan Lucic Jersey, the Mets fall nine games out of first place.
In the ninth, facing Brad Lidge, the Mets got a leadoff single from Thole; his third hit of the game. After two straight groundouts moving Thole to third, Reyes flew out to center, as the Mets fell 90 feet short of completing the comeback.
After a shaky first inning, Halladay settled down to retire 10 batters in a row,Tracy McGrady Jersey, while the Phillies kept hitting Dickey.
Although the Phillies didn't score in the first inning, signs were not pointing in the right direction. The three hitters all hit the ball hard against him, as Dickey's knuckleball wasn't sharp.

They'll try to turn things around at home, starting Tuesday night against the Rockies. It'll be a tough challenge for the Mets, as they'll face Ubaldo Jimenez.
The Mets bullpen did a great job keeping the team in the game, not allowing a run after Dickey's departure.
The Mets are now 0-7 in road rubber games this season, and have gone 40 straight games without winning consecutive games. That run of futility is the longest streak of such games without back-to-back wins in the Majors this season.
Manchester United was formed in 1878 by the Carriage and Wagon department of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway depot at Newton Heath as Newton Heath LYR Football Club. The team initially played games against other departments and rail companies, but by 1888 the club had become a founding member of The Combination, a regional football league. However, following the league dissolution after just one season, Newton Heath joined the newly formed Football Alliance, which ran for three seasons before being merged with the Football League. This resulted in the club starting the 1892 to 93 season in the First Division, by which time it had become independent of the rail company and dropped the LYR from its name. After just two seasons, the club was relegated to the Second Division. Jim McIsaac Manchester United Football Club is an English professional football club, based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, that plays in the Premier League. Founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, the club changed its name to Manchester United in 1902 and moved to Old Trafford in 1910.

Beltran hasn't looked good at the plate since his return, and he looked awful today in the field. So much so, that he was pulled in a double-switch in the seventh inning.
They knocked him around in the third, and Dickey suffered his worst inning as a Met. The Phillies sent 11 men to the plate, scoring five runs on seven hits to take a 6-2 lead.
The Mets continued to fight back in the seventh. Fernando Martinez led off with his first Major League hit of the season. Josh Thole followed with a double, moving the runner to third.
They were not helped out by their middle of the order, especially Beltran and Wright, who each struck out three times.
It would only take until the second inning. Jayson Werth hit what appeared to be a pop fly, but the ball carried over the center field fence to cut the deficit to 2-1. Carlos Beltran kept going back on the ball,Corey Perry Jersey, and bumped his head against the fence, not knowing where the wall was.
Two batters later, Raul Ibanez hit a three-run home run, giving the Phillies a 5-2 lead. Later in the inning, former Met Brian Schneider would add a run on a single.
After a Jimmy Rollins double, Jose Reyes made a fielding error. Lately, he has been making some errors, and most of them have opened the door to big innings. It did once again.
It didn't happen. In fact, what was supposed to be a pitchers' duel turned out to be a hard-fought slugfest.
The Mets seemed in pretty good shape with Dickey pitching, having thrown six quality starts in his last seven.
Dickey would be done after three innings,Jonathan Toews Jersey, allowing six runs (four earned) on eight hits, and one walk.
Ruben Tejada grounded into a run-scoring play. That was followed by a Chris Carter pinch-double, cutting the Phillies lead to 6-5.
With two on and one out, down a run, Pagan flew out and Beltran struck out for a third time to end the inning.
The Mets had to face Phillies ace Roy Halladay today, but they thought they had a chance to match him with R.A. Dickey on the mound.
