Back on Track- 161-1

April 2, 2008
N.Y. Mets 13, Florida 0 at Dolphin Stadium
N.Y. Mets Record: (2-1)
Florida Record: (1-2)
Winning pitcher - Oliver Perez (1-0)
Losing pitcher - Andrew Miller (0-1)

Okay, that's more like it. Now, I can be sure that the Mets will not lose another game. God bless, Willie and Omar, and all of the fine Mets players.

oh, and Beltran was robbed of a homer last night. How could that ball have hit anything but the metal railing ? Have you ever seen a ball bounce like that after hitting padding ? It bounced like 90 feet in the air ! That was ridiculous.
But how about that bomb that Wright hit ? Jiminy Christmas...There was no calling that one back.

Ollie pitched well, good to see.

Church had a good game. I wonder if he will play exceptionally well on Sundays ? that might be something to track.

4-6 weeks for Pedro to be gone. I think they will be okay without him for awhile. I'll be curious to see if they go after someone like Claudio Vargas to fill the void. it might not be a bad idea with both Pedro and El Duque seeming fragile, and not knowing what the hell Pelfrey's gonna do.

The Season is Over !!

Fire Willie !!! Fire Omar !!! Kill that bastard Matt Wise !!!

Delgado's useless ! What are we paying Beltran for ? Where was the Great Johan Santana last night ? Huh ? I didn't see him on the pitcher's mound, that's for sure !! This is ridiculous.

Sure they got some hits on Monday...But what about Tuesday ? 4 runs ? Are you kidding me ? All that money for 4 runs ?It's a disgrace is what it is.

I cannot believe that I was suckered by this team !! I had such high hopes !! And now it's all gone. My dreams are shattered on the floor like so many pieces of Pedro Martinez' hamstring. I feel like such a fool. Why do I even bother to root for them ? All they do is hurt me.

I don't know...Do you think I might be overreacting ?

One Down- 161 To Go....

March 31, 2008

N.Y. Mets 7, Florida 2 at Dolphin Stadium

N.Y. Mets Record: (1-0)

Florida Record: (0-1)

Winning pitcher - Johan Santana (1-0)

Losing pitcher - Mark Hendrickson (0-1)

okay, i don't really think they'll win 162 games...But that would be sweet, huh ?

Anyway, I will take an Opening Day win, a semi-dominant Santana performance. Especially on a day when the Braves' and the Phillies' pitching deficiencies were highlighted.

Look, I know it was the first game of the season, but it says something that Glavine could only go 5 innings, and that the Phillies closer gave up 5 runs.

of course, if Pedro only goes 5 today, or if Wagner gives up 5 runs, then it will mean nothing.
