So much for a Cliff Lee repeat performance (not that anyone expected one) - Lee starting 0-2 will send the Indians to the basement faster than Travis Hafner strikes out.
The early MVP leader in the NL is no surprise - Prince Albert Pujols is hitting just under .500 and ripping the ball powerwise.
Met fans, don't worry about the Newsday chatter mentioning the failed bullpen outing. That was the lesser pitchers to begin with. K-rod and Putz will be fine. Also, I am of the opinion that games in which the opposing closer blows the lead, the lucky team should not be disappointed if they lose in the end. Get over it! You got lucky to begin with!

Hafner is actually off to a fairly decent start.
ReplyDeleteMy only concern so far with the Mets pen is that Manuel seems to be overworking them and mixing and matching.
I don't want half our relievers to have 45 games pitched by the all star game. Thats how they get burnt out. (See: Mets entire pen last year AND sean green with seattle)
