Wed May 20 10:45:36 2009 EST |
| (Sports Network) - Already on top in the National League West, the Dodgers wouldn't be doing so bad in the NL East either. Los Angeles will try to finish off a three-game sweep of the New York Mets tonight at Dodger Stadium. Los Angeles has won six of its last seven games, all against NL East opponents. The Dodgers took two of three from Philadelphia and Florida and tonight can sweep the Mets for the first time since doing so at home in three games on June 11-13, 2007. After winning a wild, New |

| (Sports Network) - There is no being saved by the bell for the New York Mets right now. It's too early in the season for that. Despite the fact that they are just percentage points behind the Philadelphia Phillies in the NL East, the Mets are on the ropes and all that remains to be seen is if the club can stay on its feet or fall faster than when Jake LaMotta made sure Tony Janiro wasn't "pretty no more" in Raging Bull. Even a successful series in San Francisco came at a price. Despite taking t |

| Flushing, NY (Sports Network) - New York Mets first baseman Carlos Delgado underwent hip surgery on Tuesday and is expected to be sidelined for about 10 weeks. Delgado had an arthroscopic procedure performed at New York's Hospital for Special Surgery after being diagnosed with an impingement of the right hip, as well as a bone spur and a torn labrum. The injury is apparently similar to that of New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, who returned to action recently after a two-month recov |

| Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - New York Mets first baseman Carlos Delgado will undergo athroscopic surgery Tuesday on his right hip to remove a bone spur and repair a torn labrum.

Delgado is expected to have the same recovery timetable. Delgado was placed on the 15-day disabled list last Saturday with an impingement in his right hip, and |
