That was a shot and a half by Wright....the place exploded , it was waiting to explode all night.....

Would have been a soft poke at Shea.

Terrible day for baseball.....R.I.P. Never got to see him but loved reading about him and watching a documentary on him.

KTE's are off to a hot start this season. Dave Howard on why this is not a day game. ] April 13, 2009, 4:15 PM Why Citi Field Opener is a Night Game By BEN SHPIGEL If you were wondering why the Mets didn�t open up Citi Field in cool and sunny weather this afternoon, instead of much colder temperatures tonight, Dave Howard, the team�s executive vice president for business operations, explains. The Padres, the Mets� opponent tonight, played in San Diego on Sunday and had to fly across the country for this series. They were entitled to an off day. When a draft of the schedule was released to the Mets last August or September, this game was originally scheduled for Tuesday. But they asked the Padres if they would be amenable to playing Monday to give them two chances to play the game should there be a rainout. Howard said Sandy Alderson, the Padres� former chief executive, agreed, as long as the game would be played at night. �It was important to us that people who had tickets for this game would be able to come on Monday or Tuesday,� Howard said. �Our feeling for the inaugural opener at Citi Field was that you can�t just hope that the weather�s good that day. You want to have that cushion. As it turns out, based on the forecast, tomorrow�s not looking good. Had we not moved it, I think we�d be all kicking ourselves.� Ideally, Howard said the Mets would have played their home opener in the afternoon, as they have for the last several years. But, Howard said, �we wanted to improve our odds. Given a chance to hedge against the weather, we had to take it.�

From Lennon over at Newsday Daniel Murphy promised he would work hard to improve after Sunday's costly drop and that's exactly what he is doing this afternoon. Murphy was shagging fly balls off the bat of coach Razor Shines to help him get accustomed to leftfield here at Citi and now Gary Sheffield is doing the same in right. It's been a mixed bag so far. Sheffield made a running catch at the warning track a moment ago, but then had a deep ball sail over his glove as he reached toward the fence.

m.e.t.b.o.t. clearly has no capacity for letting emotion play any part in his voting. I like it.

Oh wow , I hope he's OK.

I think Johan upon reflection will see that he was wrong and call his newborn Murphy to show that he is a great teammate.

I went with "Kind of wrong" but easily could have gone with " kind of right". I was surprised when I read the remarks but at the same time I think Santana was no doubt frustrated after the game. I think he probably should not have called out Murphy like that when we all know that Murphy is not a good outfielder. Call out the people who put him there maybe.

Instead unknown kids in far flung places all over the third world are wearing them. Heh! I forget how long ago it was, or where it was, but I saw an article where two guys (I'll assume they weren't actual Pats fans) found out that the caps that were to be worn by the Pats were to include "Perfect Season" or 19-0 or something like that. Well anyway, I forget how they ended up where the NFL sent the aforementioned merchandise, but they found it, went down there, and were able to pick up said 19-0 caps. Jeez that was nice of the two rich white( I'll assume they were white) guys to fly to some piss poor country so they can get the 19 -0 caps.....

I'm reading Brands blog where he talked about Francesa , Brand makes some good points about hope but he's putting way too much stock into what Francesa says about the Mets. http://danabrand.com/blog/2009/04/
