The Mets' 13-0 win against the Marlins tonight was quite encouraging. The pitching was good, everyone was hitting, and the Mets finally hit a few homers. David Wright's homer was most significant because last season he went over a month before he hit his first one, but now he already has the first one out of the way. Now Carlos Beltran and Carlos Delgado need to hit their first, and we'll be set.
It is discouraging that Pedro Martinez will be out for 4-6 weeks, but one silver lining is that now Mike Pelfrey has a guaranteed spot in the rotation for now, so he doesn't have to put extra pressure on himself thinking that he'll only have one or two starts to prove himself. Now he can just go out there and focus on each game as it comes.
As I am writing (9.18 p.m. Central Time), Alex Rodriguez just struck out in a clutch situation for the Yankees. It's nice to know that some things never change.
Also, the Phillies lost again tonight.
