Mets lose to Nationals, 5-3
Remember to check out our homepage my team rivals
The New York Mets were defeated by the Washington Nationals, 5-3
tonight at Shea Stadium. It really wasn’t the Mets fault….they won
yesterday, they were just due to lose today.
If the Mets have any chance at doing something meaningful this
season, like say, winning the NL East, they simply MUST break out of
this win one, lose one trend they are riding. Further, to win the
division, you MUST beat up on the weak teams…like the Nationals. I
can deal with splitting against the Phillies, or some of the other
better teams in the League. Quality teams, in any sport, feast on the
weaker teams….you have to.
The New York Mets debut of Claudio Vargas was spoiled. Vargas did a
great job for his first ever MLB start, two runs through six and a
third. Then along came Aaron Heilman…..four runs later, Vargas’s
performance was waisted. Is it just me or is it time to realize that
Heilman is a liability?? Don’t get me wrong, I know the man has done
some nice things for the Mets in the past. But this year I am almost
resigned to switching the channel over to American Idol when he comes
in…..maybe not, I actually hate that show, but you get the idea.

Inept bullpen, lack of hitting, Phils drop Mets in Opener
Remember to check out our homepage at: www.myteamrivals.com
The New York Mets were beaten by the Philadelphia Phillies in the
final season opener at Shea Stadium. The theme was the same as it has
been early in the Mets 2008 season; effective outing by the
starting pitcher, bullpen comes in and gets abused by the
opposition, and the Mets can’t do anything on offense!
Starter Oliver Perez was wild but effective, he went five and two
thirds scoreless innings. Not bad. Then came the bullpen; Scott
Schoenweiss, Jorge Sosa and Aaaron Heilman teamed up to allow five runs
over two innings. This is becoming a very bad trend so far.
The offense, despite a monster home run by Carlos Delgado, was
basically limp…although, in fairness, they did hit several balls deep
to Center that failed to carry thus turning possible home runs into
outs.
As I have stated in previous posts, it is a long season
(and just look at the Super Bowl Champion New Giants to know you can’t
count a talented team out early), but still, on the heels of last years
collapse I expected a bit more fire out of the Mets.
The Mets try to get it back on track Wednesday night as Mike Pelfrey takes the mound.
Quick Hits:
- The New York Mets are now 30-17 in home openers
- this includes 11-3 since 1995
- the Mets are 7-1 in openers vs the Philadelphia Phillies
- today was Oliver Perez’s second start in a season opener
