New York Mets at Florida Marlins, Apr 1, 2008 7:10 PM EDT
The pitching matchup link to the right will always be a link to the MLB Gameday applet, so you can use that if you're away from a TV.
Today's swag contest game form is up and ready to roll. You can read the game form rules here . As a reminder, the most recent game form along with the scoreboard and rules can be found in the left sidebar here under "AA SWAG CONTEST". The results of yesterday's game are up, so go check your score and feel free to talk shit in tonight's thread. That's what it's all about, after all: bragging rights.
Pedro Martinez makes his first start of the season, and the Mets are already 1-0. The starting lineup hasn't been announced, but I'm guessing that Endy Chavez may get the start in left against the right-handed Rick VandenHurk. Look for the top half of the lineup to carry the load again. Pedro Martinez has a career 1.89 ERA in 57 innings pitched at Dolphins Stadium to go along with a prepoculous 6.09 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Continued dominance would be a delight. I like to write in short bursts. She smells she smells by the sea shmore.

FYI
Since the 1998 season (and possibly earlier), every team that has had Pedro Martinez as their #2 starter has gone on to win the World Series. Just saying.

Can you
Post the link to the SWAG earlier? Around, 11:30 or 12 Eastern? Unless it's already up... if it's up I can get it myself...

The game form link in the left sidebar is always the latest form, but I can activate that day's game earlier in the day if it would be helpful.

He was having trouble with his command, gave up 2 HRs, a two run shot to Uggla
and a solo shot to Gonzo, he looked like he had great stuff but poor command. He then seemed to tweak his hamstring/groin after slipping on the mound in his follow-through.

You don't know what it was like to get home from school to flip on the TV and immediately hear Gary talking about Pedro "walking to the clubhouse" and how he'd "at least" have to go on the DL. I immediately thought his elbow or shoulder had exploded and was about to throw up.

looks like no.
Dude usually has good on-base ability, but he was definitely jumping on too many pitches there.

if nothing else,
this game is an early test of the Mets' bullpen depth. What Willie will do if/when we hit extra innings ought to be interesting.

A really disappointing game. That was a shot.

fuckin' A.
Well, looks like Wise is going to pitch his way out of the bullpen slot sooner than later.

Willie
doesn't believe in "leverage" -- he believes in using the closer in the traditional closer's spots. That'll result in a loss or two over the course of a season. Just hurts to see it in a game when the bullpen performed so well up to that point.

I didn't think it would be possible to be this bummed after 2 fucking games.
