Found this bit on exactly how good the Mets defense has been through the first two games of the season from Baseball Musings.

The Mets pitchers so far allowed a .348 OBA. That's high for a staff. But that number gets cut down by the number of ground double plays induced. Overall, New York pitchers allowed 16 Cardinals to reach base via a hit, walk or hit by pitch in sixty nine plate appearances. But if you remove the seven runners taken out on double plays, the effective OBA against the Mets is just .246, which is excellent.

Jose Valentin sure has been on fire in the field over at second base. All these double plays are helping the staff tremendously.

Aaron Heilman to get Pujols in the 8th! Nuff said!
