Mets Vs Cards in Jupiter

A slow start for the Mets this spring after two games. Today in the Grapefruit League the New York Mets were shutout by the Cardinals 7-0. John Maine saw his first action this spring and had a rocky outing. The Mets sent out a lot of starters in the field in this game with not much success in scoring runs. D-Wright sent a high fly to deep left center but was robbed of extra bases by a diving catch by ex-pitcher Rick Ankiel. Tomorrow the Mets will send out their big off-season acquisition, Johan Santana to face the Cardinals in PSL. SNY will be airing the game which starts 1:10pm.

I'm not to worried about the Mets not getting off to a fast start with the bats, that will come with more time on the field. The one thing I take from Thursdays game was seeing what the future holds for the Mets. The lineup for yesterdays game started with Reyes, F-Mart, and Wright. We also have Beltran for a handful more years too... The future is bright for the Mets cant wait to see the teenage hitting machine in action.
