  Tough to see Pelf give up the Grand Slam. Worse seeing Reyes and Wright go 0 for 8 combined.

  Still in my opinion all 3 will wind up being better than what they showed today.

  1 down 161 to go. It’s great to have baseball back.

  LETS GO METS!!!

    Really, you think that Reyes and Wright will hit better than zero?????? And even think Pelfrey will get his ERA under 9!!!!! Definitely a gutty post.
    • Mr North Jersey April 2, 2011 at 10:03 am

      Hi Iz, your right gutsy post. Good to see how you quickly spotted that out. Your a sharp cookie.

      Any thoughts on the game?

  Disappointing.

  I don’t know what it is with Pelf and the Marlins. He hasn’t beaten them yet.

  My thoughts too, what is it with Pelf and the Fish? Is it cause he is mainly a fastball, sinker pitcher and he throws everything hard?
  Fish are a fastball hitting team and they are turning into the Braves of Florida.
  Mets need to find ways to win at Atlanta and South Florida cause these are too many games that Atlanta and now Fish since 2009 have taken from Mets.

  I think that Pelf was really pumped and will take it for what it was but he has to show against Philly whether he is a #1 or not that he can hold the other team in check so as to allow his team mates to score some runs.

  Tonight JJ was just dominating, nothing he hasn’t done to Mets before.
  One game as Terry said but Mets now have to beat the other starter that are not Aces cause there are games where we don’t face an Ace and we have to wind in those so the loses to premier pitchers, at least now, won’t be so hard.u

  I guess that now Willie has earned the starters nod for Bay, NOT!
  Duda has to play, Willie has shown that he can hit and maybe using him against those pitchers he has hit well against will help him and team plus allow Duda to provide some power until Bay returns.

  Not a happy ending, I couldn’t watch here in Central Florida cause some system was out but at least I didn’t miss a great game but maybe when Mets leave the pergatory that Florida is, they have been here since Feb, they will have a change of scenery and provide some excitement.

  Anyway, it is one game and with a sweep Sat and Sun the season can start off great, our road record has to get better. If we had played better on road last year we would of been over .500 and maybe, just maybe, we compete.

  Thinking Willie Harris can hit is a mistake that hopefully Collins won’t make like . One thing Harris has proven thoughoout his career is that he cannot hit.
  • Mr North Jersey April 2, 2011 at 10:11 am

    I am pretty sure he had 2 of the 4 hits in the game not sure what you are talking about.
• happy little mets fans April 2, 2011 at 8:26 am

  Oh where oh where ae all those happy little metsie fans who had the delusions of grandeur who really bought into the lies and were convinced that the over the hill roidal lovin gm built a perfect team!! Hope you all didn’t jump off a bridge.. its much more fun having you suffer thru the hideous season coming your way. SAVE THE WILPONS!!!!! KEEP THE METS THE LAUGHINGSTOCK!!!!!! What you all thinking now….65 wins or so????
• Lou April 2, 2011 at 9:08 am

  Me thinks Terry Collins and Sandy Alderson will be sleep deprived for the next 161 games in between their psychiatrist appointments. The bottom line is the pieces don’t fit,yeah even after one game I see it! Slam me if you want but I’ve been with them since ’62 and i can feel it by now.
  • metsaddict77 April 2, 2011 at 9:51 am

    pelfrey is not a #1 pitcher, too much pressure is going to be put on him this year,he could crumble.the FO and the team r saying the whole madoff situation has no effect on the team, i don’t believe it.the mets looked lifeless out there, even before the game started.terry collins was supposed to bring enthusiasm to us. we looked anything but enthused last night.we can only get better, i just don’t see it happening.
    • Matt74 April 2, 2011 at 11:13 am

      You’re right, they did look lifeless, as they did much of last year. The only guy I saw that looked a little hyped up to be out there was Emaus.
      • Vinny B April 2, 2011 at 11:18 am

        Josh Johnson is pretty good at making teams look lifeless.

        Relax, it’s only one game.
        • Mr North Jersey April 2, 2011 at 11:37 am

          Well said.
        • Matt74 April 2, 2011 at 12:11 pm

          You are right about that, but my reason for saying it that (even though I don’t get to see too many games here in Pittsburgh) is that the few games I do get to catch in the last couple of seasons, the team just looks very listless out there. A lot of guys just don’t look excited to be out there. For instance when I watch the Mighty Buccos, their young core looks like they are really having fun and loving every minute of it (even though they are terrible).
          I’m not trying to knock the team this early, I just hope not to see the same trend I’ve noticed continue, especially with a new manager and coaches.
          • francis April 2, 2011 at 12:14 pm

            the pirates will outwin the mets this year. they will also outdraw them.
            • Matt74 April 2, 2011 at 12:28 pm

              I’ll bet ya a beer that doesn’t happen. Bucco pitching is way too weak even though the offense is showing a lot of promise.
              The only way they can outdraw the Mets will be if they have a Bobble head night and fireworks after every game. Pittsburghers love their fireworks and bobbleheads.
              It’s a crying shame what the Nuttings have done to a once proud franchise. It’s even more of a sad state of affairs when you hear more fans in the stands cheering Let’s Go Steelers than you do for the Pirates at a baseball game in mid-June, and no, I’m not kidding about that, I wish I was.

  Notes from last night.

  Always nice to see the ballpark in Florida where I spent some time so many years ago.

  SNY and/or the Mets did their crew a big favor by ordering shirts and ties for Opening Day – all the guys looked fabulous.

  Kevin Burkhart has continued to grow in his job and has become the best interviewer around – why? – because he knows the game, the team, the coaches and the players. And because he is unfailingly polite, and pays attention to what the person of the moment is saying. I hope the Mets/SNY have him under a lengthy contract – he’s a keeper for sure.

  Mookie Wilson came home to be with ‘his team’ and it was wonderful to see him –

  And, finally the event of the day – Clarence Clemons playing the National Anthem on his sax – so very, very moving. I loved the musical arrangement of the Anthem – it seemed so appropriate.

  I’m not going to mention the pitcher who seemed to give it up so early and so easily – he needs some professional attention to his attitude on the mound. Nolan Ryan has a policy with pitchers like that – he leaves them in for seven innings no matter what.
  • Joe D April 2, 2011 at 11:00 am

    Annie, after Clemons finished the anthem, I said I wish they would invite more professional musicians to perform the honor, rather than 99% vocalists. It was classy Star Spagled Banner by Clarence.

    Kevin Burkhardt is the best, and on at least five occasions that I know of, he treated our MMO writers with a friendly greeting and was always kind enough to show us around the clubhouse, media room and the press box. He immeidately recognizes when someone new walks into the park for the first time with a press credential, and is the first one to say hello and welcome you in like one of the guys or gals.

    The best part about losing Castillo was placing uniform No. 1 back on Mookie’s jersey where it belongs.
    • Annie Savoy April 2, 2011 at 11:12 am

      About Castillo – the Phillies put up with his antics for 48 hours and then threw him out, so I hear.

      I meant what I said about Kevin – one of the networks will grab him at their first chance. He’s a classy kid and reminds me of Jim Nance.

      I’m still impressed with Terry Collins and hope the team gets their act together to make him proud.
      • Annie Savoy April 2, 2011 at 2:25 pm

        Ooops, I meant Jim Nantz.
    • Matt74 April 2, 2011 at 12:19 pm

      I must say I completely agrre with you about #1. I know it really isn’t feasible to retire Mookie’s number considering his actual body of work. However, it would be nice if maybe they didn’t give it to anyone unless all the other jersey #’s ran out. (I know that won’t happen, but it would be a nice thought)
      When I was young, Mookie was like an icon to the Mets fan base. Even when the guys like Doc and Darryl came up, it seemed Mookie was just as popular as the big stars. I remember watching games on TV and Shea got so loud when Mookie came up to the plate. The cheers of MOO-kie would overtake the announcers and my living room. Man, do I miss those days.
      Didn’t mean to go off on that tangent, but your comment struck a chord, and some good memories I hadn’t thought of in a while.
      • Joe D April 2, 2011 at 12:49 pm

        Hey Matt, thanks for the comment. I know it’s impossible for them to retire all the numbers we would like, but if they can avoid giving numbers like #1, #17 and #31 out to any Tom, Dick and Harry that comes along, I thibnk a lot of us real fans would be very pleased.
        • XtreemIcon April 2, 2011 at 12:53 pm

          You mean you didn’t think Luis Lopez wore #17 with pride?
          • Joe D April 2, 2011 at 1:02 pm

            Maybe a tiny bit of pride, but Lima Time was a bit much! RIP Lima Time.
        • Matt74 April 2, 2011 at 1:04 pm

          Yeah, I think we would
• Greg from Brooklyn April 2, 2011 at 11:40 am

  Mike Pelfrey has repeatedly proven he is not mentally tough and if we have to depend on him being our temporary ace…we are already in trouble.
  This dude is a 6’7″ wuss…he caved in against Buck whathisname.
  • francis April 2, 2011 at 12:04 pm

    he kinda looks like kirsten dunst
  • XtreemIcon April 2, 2011 at 12:26 pm

    Whatshisname? You mean the All Star John Buck?
