Welcome Home

The Mets come back to Citi Field tonight after two series against division opponents.  Tonight they open up a four game set against the SF Giants before welcoming the newly branded Marlins into town.


Jon Niese, who's started the season 2-0 so far, is on the mound tonight and the Mets are in desperate need of a quality start.  In their last two games, both Johan Santana and RA Dickey struggled badly and the offense was behind the eight ball early on.


The Mets and their pitching staff needs to get back to theirs ways of the first two weeks.  Limiting base runners.  Striking out hitters.  Pitching quick to keep their rhythm in tact.  The bullpen must also keep it short and simple. An inning here, maybe two there.  Keep the arms fresh for the long haul.


They started the season with four wins at Citi Field, here's to going for win number five.
