Game Recap

It was good waking up this morning and knowing that your team is off to a great 4-0 start, a start nobody saw coming.

Last night's game had a little bit of everything.  Starter Mike Pelfrey was okay, allowing three runs through the first three innings but then settling down and allowing no more runners to cross home plate.  He did allow 10 hits however and one has to figure that over time, more than just three of them will come home.

The bullpen just continues to be lights out over this opening week.  Another three plus innings of no run baseball.  For a team that had such a weak bullpen a year ago, this is such a blessing to have consistent, quality work.

Not as many this time around, but the hits keep coming.  Notably from the bat of Daniel Murphy, last night's hero with a walk off single in the ninth.  But Ruben Tejada added another double, David Wright added another RBI, and rookie Kirk Nieuwenhuis connected on his first career home run.

Things are going right in Mets land.  Keep the good times coming.
