Well last night didn't turn out to be what Mets fans and myself had hoped for since the end of September last year. Basically, it seemed as if it were the same team playing the same game from last year.
David Wright kept striking out. Jose Reyes was jumpy at the plate. The offense had no pop in its bats. Mike Pelfrey struggled with his command and channelled his inner John Maine by allowing way to many foul tips.
There were some positives though. Brad Emaus played well defensively at second base. Carlos Beltran had a decent game in right field and had the first RBI on the season. The bullpen, although giving up some hard hits, pitched decently.
That's the great thing about baseball though, there's 161 games left to be played and they Metsies get to do it all over again tonight at 7:10 (Jon Niese vs Ricky Nolasco, SNY/WFAN). I believe the team will have settled down from their Opening Day nerves and get back to the team who hit the ball pretty well the last week of Spring Training.
