It looks like both Santana and K Rod are ready for the season to begin.  Both hurlers sent clear messages that they are fired up and pitching to the top of their potential right now.  Santana pitched 7 great innings, allowing only 1 run on 4 hits with no BBs in 7 innings yesterday.  He also struck out 6.

 K Rod gave up 2 hits to his first 2 batters and then struck out the next 2 and got the last batter to pop up for the final out in the 8th inning.

 The Mets hitters are in full form as well. Delgado has 2 hits, and Murphy collected 3.  Tatis and Murphy also drove in 2 runs a piece.  Beltran and Wright also each had a hit.  Reyes was 0-4 but hit the ball hard all 4 times, and Castillo reached base twice, 1 time on an error and another HBP.

The only thing the Mets have to worry about at this point is their number 3 and 4 starters, Perez and Maine.  Santana and Pelfrey will be fine, and I have a feeling Livian will be as well.  The bullpen and bench look solid at this point as well.

Stay tuned!
