our numbers 2 - 5 starters boast a robust 7.32 ERA collectively, and our lineup seems to only be able to bring runners home when there are no chips on the table. To top it all off there are now rumblings of possible rotation, roster, and coaching shake-ups. You're probably asking yourself "so as a team, where do we stand right now?" I'm here to tell you that we stand as one Nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all. Bring on the Natinals.Those pesky Nats always have a way of getting the best of us towards the end of the season as we have learned the past couple of years. However thinking of the team that went 5 - 1 against us last September does not bode well for confidence going into tonight. Over the last 3 seasons the Mets hold a 6 - 2 record in their first series of the year against Washington with a team ERA of 3.00. The offense decides to click as well in these games as they have generated an average of 4.63 runs per game in the first series.
As for this season, this is a Nationals team that is 3 - 11 without a win on the road coming into town. I know you pessimists out there are saying it would be fitting for them to get their first against the Mets. To you I say if it makes you feel any better about this series, know that Willie Harris will NOT be in the building to rob us of some runs. So let us bask in the glory that is Johan Santana tonight. He is the stopper we need. Make some noise at Citi Field and let's get out of this rut. There is no better time to take advantage of a situation than this weekend.
