MMO Game Thread: Astros vs Mets, 1:10 PM (SNY)

The New York Mets take on the Houston Astros on Tuesday at 1:10 PM at Tradition Field. Dillon Gee will get the start for the Amazins and he’ll be opposed by former Met Collin McHugh for the Astros.

Rafael Montero initially had been listed for this start, but now will travel to Tampa on Wednesday to take on the Yankees and their Opening Day starter Masahiro Tanaka.

Terry Collins made it official. Here’s your Opening Series starters in D.C. against the Nationals:

Game 1 – Bartolo Colon vs Max Scherzer (Bart is bigger!)
Game 2– Jacob deGrom vs Jordan Zimmermann (Jake is cooler!)
Game 3 – Matt Harvey vs Stephen Strasburg (Harvey’s better!)

Matt Harvey only now found out from reporters that he was starting Game 3 against the Nationals. Asked about being passed over for Opening Day: “It’s something that I expected.”

Wilmer Flores, who’s dealing with a sore left foot, plans to throw, stretch and hit today, but no running just yet.

Vic Black is supposed to throw off flat ground today, and him and the Mets say this time they mean it.

Here’s your Starting Lineups:
