Don't have too much time, but gotta leave a preview before the game! First off, I will be there again tonight, and once again, I am very excited.
Anyway, Shawn Hill makes his second start of the season for the Nationals. In his first start, he got a ND over 5 innings, 6 hits, 4 ER (7.20 ERA), no walks and 6 K's. He has been very effective against the Mets last year at least, as in two games he posted a 1-0 record over 14 innings, 2.57 ERA, walking 3 and striking out 7. The following Mets have these stats against Hill:
    Reyes 0-7
    Beltran 2-5, HR, 2 RBI
    Wright 3-6
It was good to see the Mets get back on track last night. There is no reason to repeat that tonight against the Nats. Last night the Mets seemed very focused on small ball between the four stolen bases and the sac hits everywhere. It will be interesting to see if Willie calls the small ball again tonight, or as a surprise, allows the players to swing for the fences. I'm leaning my self towards small ball, because the Mets tend to better in these situations.
Also did anyone else see that the game last night was very similar to the first of the season. Same score, both were alway, Santana pitched both of them. The only big difference was that last night there was no "big" inning for the Mets last night even though they had one 3 run inning, the others were pretty small.
Lets Go Mets!
