Mets Bullpen

I apologize for being inactive the last month. I have been very busy, but with the Mets season now in progress, I’m back.

So, about the Mets. I went to the home opener, a disappointment to say the least. The Mets have started out much more injured and not in the best position after a week or so. Angel Pagan has started out as our best player, hitting a walk-off last night, and other newcomers, Ryan Church, Brian Schneider, and Johan Santana have all been very impressive. The top disappointments so far have included Aaron Heilman (do I have to say any more?) and star shortstop Jose Reyes. 

After a very slow start, last night was a huge win for our team. Pagan showed the emotion and clutchness we haven’t seen by Reyes (or at least not as much as Reyes was last year), driving in Reyes to win the game last night (although it seemed to me Jose was out by a split-second). There’s plenty of baseball to play, and as I and I’m sure all of you think, the Tigers aren’t going to finish the year with 10 wins, and the Orioles most likely aren’t going to be the best team in baseball. 

I have tickets to tomorrow’s game (First Johan home start- woot!), so I’m hoping we will be Heilman-free if we are in a winning season. 

Tonight Nelson Figueroa will match up against the Brew Crew’s Parra (1-0), so it should be an interesting game to watch. 

I’m back, and so are the Mets. Here’s to 08!
