Let's get through this inning, Aaron!

I suspect that the Puerto Rico primary in June will do a lot to make that happen.

Well that's not that bad. Though knowing Pedro it'll take longer to come back from than normal.

As did I.

El Duque is the insurance.

VandenHurk is the one player in the majors from the Netherlands.

Indeed, this was the only time today I was fooled. Nice work.

Way to go Pedro! Tire the other dude out!

I found this very interesting: ]Percentage of foreign-born Major League Baseball players drops NEW YORK (AP)�The percentage of major league baseball players born outside the 50 states dropped slightly this year. Of the 855 players on rosters at the start of the season, 239 were born outside the 50 states, the commissioner�s office said Tuesday. The percentage dropped to 28.0 from 29.0 last year, when it was just off the record of 29.2 set in 2005. The Dominican Republic had the most with 88�a decrease of 10. It was followed by Venezuela (52), Puerto Rico (29), Japan (16), Canada (14), Mexico (11), Cuba (eight), Panama (five), Australia (four), Taiwan (three), Colombia, Curacao and South Korea (two apiece), and the Netherlands, Nicaragua and the U.S. Virgin Islands (one apiece). The New York Mets (15) had the most foreign-born players for the third straight year and were followed by Seattle (14), and the Chicago Cubs, Cleveland, Detroit and the New York Yankees (11 each). There were 3,356 of 7,021 minor leaguers born outside the 50 states, with the percentage rising to 47.8 percent, up from 46.2 last year and 45.1 in 2005. The pool included players on opening-day rosters and disabled lists, and suspended Milwaukee outfielder Mike Cameron.

Or Duaner Sanchez.

No way. Piazza's going in as a Met, hands down.

I have said it before - Jack Wilson is the ugliest man in baseball.

Santana - 4 Wright - 2 Beltran - 1.5 Pagan - 0.75 Reyes - 0.75 Church - 0.5 Castillo - 0.25 Heilman - 0.25

And where is Zvon? Doesn't he usually turn up once the season starts up again?

I'll give them a pass for a season-opening win.

We win!!!

I got the same game.

Matt Wise is officially a Met!

See above.

MVP! MVP! MVP!

Reyes gets his first hit of the year! 3-0 Mets!

ESPN basically saying that Andruw Jones got fat in the offseason.
