Inning 1: Read Terry Collins reasons for moving Thole to the 2 hole and they make sense as a temporary move. Capuano ensured that the Mets no no-hitter streak would continue right from the outset.
Inning 2: Don't blink when the Mets are at-bat- you can miss the entire inning. Back in 1986 (25th anniversary btw), to beat the Mets you had to score early and often. This team you just have to score. The Mets offense often reminds me of a soccer game.
Inning 3: Nothing worth commenting on.
Inning 4: The Mets offense, well there is no "O" in M-E-T-S. Jason Bay made a top play nominee or Web gem to end the inning after the 'stros doubled their lead.
Inning 5: Usually, the Mets are on the wrong end of that dropped pop-up. Then like the army corp of engineers the floodgates seemed to open. Great heads up by Pridie to score on Reyes' steal. preventing the 'stros from regaining momentum in the bottom half of the inning was big for Capuano.
Inning 6: The 3 runs added by the Mets made the solo shot in the bottom of the inning absolutely meaningless. Justin Turner is batting close to .300 and he's the back-up to Daniel Murphy starting at first in place of injured Ike Davis and yet the opening day starter at second was Brad Emaus?????? Whodathunkit?
Okay I misplaced an inning somewhere- it is probably going to turn up in the last place i look for it- but nothing happened of consequence.
Inning 8: nothing of note offensively. The bullpen has been impressive, though there were some scary moments here giving up a 4th run and having 2nd and 3rd occupied with little margin for error.
K-Rod pitched a 1-2-3 inning wow.
