Start drinking it Mets fans, there's enough kool-aid for everyone! That's right, as predicted on Mets Kool-Aid blog the Mets started their season in prime fashion today knocking off the Marlins 7-1.
A few things to take away from this game:
- Fernando Nieve pitched 2 scoreless innings.
- Each new Mets player in the lineup (Bay, Barajas, Matthews) all had at least 2 hits a piece.
- Luis Castillo stole a base today
- David Wright homered in his first at bat of the season (he also homered in the first game of the season in 2006)
- Johan Santana got run support - even insurance runs!
- The Mets are on 162-0 pace here.
That's right folks. There were a lot of things to be excited about in Flushing today. Let's take a page out of Derek Jeter's book and say we're going to take this one game at a time...even though we're going to win that next game too. LET'S GO METS!
Don't you think 162-0 is being a little hard on the Mets? Oh wait, there's only 162 games!!!
