Wright plates three with a double that rolls to the wall!

Maybe Mark Hendrickson should go backto the NBA, i hear the Knicks need help...

[Valadius]

MVP! MVP! MVP!

Hanley walks and there goes the perfect game

See above.

Willingham hit a 2-run homer to end the no-hitter and shutout, i'm off to class. will be watching on gamecast.

Val, take it down a notch, I'll take a win over a no-no any day.

BTW 7,321 games and counting...
(number from that NoNoHitters.com site)

[stevejrogers]

Well thanks to UltimateMets.com I can quickly say that Santana is now the 223 different Met starting pitcher during the 7,321 game no no-hitter streak!

Hi guys. Just getting here -- an out of the office assignment on Opening Day! Grrr.


But I see things are proceeding according to plan.

Wasn't even close was it?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I'm not missing Carlos Gomez yet. Santana is Just What We Needed!

If I was better at it, I'd find the YouTube video of the Cars song.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

So far, baserunning is not our strong point.

[Valadius]

Matt Wise is officially a Met!

[nymr83]

Santana done after 7.
Wise has allowed 2 baserunners while getting 1 out in the first 3 batters of the 8th...

[nymr83]

Wise is done and Mike Jacobs will face Schoenweis!!

he gets Jacobs to ground out, the runners advance to 2nd and 3rd.

[stevejrogers]

Not a "Wise" decision!

Good Lord, I wonder why Heilman isn't in there, or Sanchez? Isn't this THEIR jobs at this point? Why mess around with the dreck of the pen this early in the year?

[Guest AG/DC]

Way to set a role for Schoeneweiss early, Willie.

I'm thinking that Willie's stubborn resistance to role-setting was a big contributor to the collapse last year.

Maybe not, but I've got to hang my hat somewhere.

[Valadius]

[nymr83]

Willie will take no chances, Sosa relieves Schoenweis after 1 batter.

Sosa gets the job done.

[Guest AG/DC]

Slider City!

[Guest Triple Dee]

I get the feeling Willie's gonna have a much shorter leash for his pitchers this season.

[Guest AG/DC]

Marlon 1, Marlins 0.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Sosa shows he's a little thirsty tonight. Wise apparently prefers water.

The Mets got just the kind of start they were looking for from Santana. I look forward to many more solid 7 (or 8 inning starts) from him.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Unfortunately, no Mets viewing in my area today. I'm getting the Giants at Dodger Stadium for my baseball fix. The Dodgers closed it out for a 5-0 win.
