The 2010 Major League Baseball season for The New York Mets started like it had the past 4 years, with a win. After that though it's been up in the air.
After a terrific showing in the first game, beating The Florida Marlins 7-1 behind the arm of ace Johan Santana, The Mets would go on to lose the next to by the scores of 7-6 and 3-1.
The 7-6 loss featured John Maine having trouble getting out of any of his five innings and the Mets offense blowing chances to score runs. Key moment: When Fernando Tatis was thrown out coming home on a wild pitch with bases loaded and David Wright at bat.
The 3-1 loss showed not the pitching problem but the hitting problem. Jonathon Niese had a great game going 6 strong innings and giving only up 3 runs. The offense though left 7 men on base.
Mets take on The Washington Nationals this weekend. Jose Reyes is expected to be in the lineup for Saturdays game. Hopefully he can be a stark to the offense in crucial moments.
