Watching opening day, I was very pleased to see Jon Niese and the boys cruise into first place with an 11-2 victory. But really, 11 runs??? Did they really need to score 11? Why couldn't they stop at say 7 and save those other 4 runs for times when the offense is struggling or the pitching has a hiccough? I know it doesn't actually work that way, but I can hope.
I was wondering why Ruben Tejada was batting in the 8 hole, but apparently he's there to set the table for Niese, who helped his own cause as they say going 2 for 2. The magic number to clinch is now 161. Let's go Mets!
