Lewis, Holland, Darvish, Harrison & Feliz.

Feliz is coming out of the bullpen so who knows if he'll be an efficient starter or not. And Darvish is promising but unproven IMO.

It's an interesting rotation though.

I don't even want to talk about the Mets starters.

The mets scare me with there bullpen. They are hanging on their ace santana to pull them through IMO. I think METS pitching is suspect!

The Mets starters are weird. Under the best possible circumstances Santana & Pelfrey are aces with Neise, Dickey & Gee being serviceable 3-5 pitchers possible of winning 12-16 games each.

But this is the Mets!

Santana will get hurt within 3 weeks, Pelfrey will shit on his own mechanics and lose 10 games straight while wracking up a 5.00+ ERA and the last 3 bozo's will prove to be as good as a Livan hernandez or jamie moyer.

I know those 2 scenarios are far apart but that's the way the Mets roll. They either blow everyone's expectations away, or they flouder on their faces while everything possible can go wrong.

As for the bullpen? After Ramirez & Parnell, They suck.

Lets go Mets!? =D

"Santana will get hurt in three weeks" EXACTLY what I was thinking

If I was a betting man, I would def not roll with the Mets! I just dont see any depth in the bullpen or anywhere else. If they do a cinderella story it will be from no names that step up and try to make a name for themselves. But I highly doubt that will happen.

But, But, But, They're my favorite team! I have no choice!


Oh! Nieuwenhuis just hit a 2 run dinger! Tied 3-3! I've gotta get back to this game. Lets go Mets!

Hey m8 I respect that greatly! I am a Boston Red Sox fan.....yup start the feeling sorry part now

The last time I busted a sox fans balls about Buckner or anything relating to a world series was 2004.
Since then I hold no pity party for Boston fans. The Mets still haven't won shit since '86! lol!

At least the sox won tonight. So did the Yanks though. So they're both 1-3. heh. (Aceves has to go! He is no closer)

Walk off win for the Metropolitans! 4-0! Lets see how long this lasts.

Oh and froggy, You are correct the Rays have an amazing starting rotation. I held 6 fantasy baseball drafts this year. I think the Rays are the only team that every starting pitcher was drafted in every league.

Should be must see TV darvish's next start. He had some ridiculous ERA in Japan (1.99 career ERA), he's never had people hit off him like he did this first start... More far east hype gonna explode? That would be a pretty big blow to the Rangers if so.
