The Mets open their home season at Shea Stadium later this afternoon. As a matter of fact, I believe it's their last day game for quite some time. John Maine (1-0, 0.00) will start for the Mets at home for the first time since Game 6 of the NLCS when he won. Cole Hamels will make his season debut for the Phillies.

It should be a raucus crowd as well, I'm looking forward to it.

Cole Hamels' changeup is amazing. Got Reyes and Beltran swinging.

John Maine was finally pulled, after giving up 2 runs in four innings and a lot of walks. This was not one of his better appearances on the mound, and I would expect better during his next start.

Chase Utley is a Monster!

The Mets came back in the 8th to win, 11-5. Amazing collapse by the Phillies bullpen.

Geoffry (sp?) couldn't find the strikezone at all in the inning. Then they bring in John Leiber to get smacked around. LOL.

Jon Lieber got smacked around with the Yankees. I recall that he had an impressive start last season, but now he is back to his old ways.

Shawn Green+Moises Alou do well together.
