Weak 1 in Review

What a dreary opening homestand this turned into. And that was while we got adequate starts from the buttend of the rotation and solid work from a bullpen rumored to have sucked. No, it was the offense that couldn’t get unstuck: there are too many outmakers.

The unfairly beleaguered bullpen in the meantime today debuted a new lefty, Raul Valdes, who contributed two scoreless innings today wearing No. 22. No, it wasn’t Al Leiter.

    You’re math is slightly off. The 8 new Mets from the opening day roster are numbers 875-882 on the all time roster. That makes Raul Valdes 883. Will we hit 900 this year? Maybe by the all-star break.

    If we hit 900 this year,
