Cole Hamels will be a difficult matchup, but we can certainly get it done.

SuperKevin · 04-09-2007, 11:56 AM

I'm amped for this season because I think our team is better offensively this year than it was last year. Now if we can just get over the rotation issues I think we have a shot to go deep in the playoffs again.

Giantsfan1080 · 04-09-2007, 03:36 PM

Great season opener. We sure can put up a lot of runs up in a hurry.

MaxV · 04-09-2007, 03:37 PM

GREAT COME-FROM-BEHIND WIN!!!

This team never quits.

John Maine was pretty wild today, but I think he'll do well.

O came alive, especially Delgado, who was struggling.

gbpackers0065 · 04-09-2007, 08:37 PM

I just loved that alou finally got his RBI cuz he had been hitting great all season

MaxV · 04-10-2007, 09:27 PM

Our Major League team was off today, but there was some action in the minors.

Our top position prospect, 18-year-old Fernando Martinez went 2-4 with a triple and a HR.

This kid has a chance to be AWESOME.

Giantsfan1080 · 04-11-2007, 02:26 PM

Man Carlos Gomez and Fernando Martinez. Wow.

Giantsfan1080 · 04-11-2007, 02:57 PM

I also can't wait for Guerra's start tonight. I haven't been this excited about a pitching prospect since Kazmir obviously.

Our system might acctually be BETTER then the year we had Wright, Reyes, Kazmir, Heilman and Huber in BA's top 100.

After those 5 we had VERY little else. This year we are MUCH deeper.

I think we have better depth now than then but I'm not sure if the upsides are comparable. Remember Matt Peterson was also a highly regarded prospect in those days. It's very close and actually a very good debate.

our OF prospects are stats we have thugs mcgee(milledge) gomez, martinez, ben johnson and a sleeper corey coles who led the FSL with a .341 avg last year

AlexDown · 04-11-2007, 07:10 PM

At least the 3rd inning is now over....

MaxV · 04-11-2007, 10:00 PM

I hope Ollie Perez doesn't lose his confidence because of this outing. He sure forget about it and focus on his next turn.

This guy has A LOT of talent, but he's kinda fragile mentally.

I don't think we have to worry about this outing mentally. I think Perez will be a good #4 this year but we might have go get used to him being brilliant one game and then not so much the next. He might be a Jekyll/Hyde type guy this year.

gbpackers0065 · 04-12-2007, 03:39 PM

we got spanked last night

and i will not tolerate losing two series' to the phils and braves

MaxV · 04-12-2007, 09:09 PM

Nice win today.

Mike Pelfrey will start tommorow. I can't wait. I hope he throws strikes. If he does that, he should be effective.

EDIT: Nats just beat the Braves....barely. Cordero loaded the bases, but K'd Thorman to end it on a full count.

AlexDown · 04-13-2007, 11:12 AM

I'm looking forward to todays game. I saw him pitch in person against the Astros during the summer last year. As you said before, if he keeps the ball in the strike zone I think we should have this game.

Giantsfan1080 · 04-13-2007, 12:56 PM

Pelfrey's sinker looked very impressive during Spring Training. He was getting like 4 out of every 5 outs on ground balls or something crazy like that. If he can just pound the strike zone low we'll be fine. I actually think Pelfrey is going to have a very good shot to win the NL ROY this year.

MaxV · 04-13-2007, 10:21 PM

Pelfrey looked wild. Command is still an issue with him. Hopefully he continues to improve in that department.

Damix · 04-14-2007, 02:29 PM

Yanks and Mets are going to have very similar years.
Electric offense
Strong bullpens with mixes of experience and young flamethrowers
Jekyl and Hyde starting pitchers

gbpackers0065 · 04-14-2007, 03:13 PM

2day was depressing

i agree, as long as the yankees flamethrowers' in farnsworth and procter get their arm strength back up to where they were last year

MaxV · 04-14-2007, 05:21 PM

Ugly game today. The things just didn't go the Mets' way.

gbpackers0065 · 04-15-2007, 10:18 AM

Game postponed today we start a series in philly on monday

Giantsfan1080 · 04-18-2007, 02:44 PM

Guerra had a decent start yesterday. His E.R.A. is 3.07 on the year but he has a great gb:fb ratio. Carlos Gomez continued his hitting streak as well and is now at 13 games.
