Broke, busted, disgusted
Wilpons can't be trusted
And Sandy wants to trade Dillon Gee
David couldn't make it
Decided he would take it
And have himself a lapse mentally


D'Arnaud and Cuddyer couldn't get no higher in A-T-L Friday night. That's not what they were aimin' at. May their aim be better Saturday night, 7:10, WPIX.

Gee vs. Teheran. Tell all your mamas and papas to tune in to see the Mets deliver.

Song parody as IGT opening post. I like this. Trend?

Fun lineup, G!

NY Mets at Atlanta
When: 7:10 PM ET, Saturday, April 11, 2015
Where: Turner Field, Atlanta, Georgia
SportsDirect Inc.

The Atlanta Braves collapsed in the second half of last season thanks to an inconsistent offense that struggled to generate runs, but through four games of 2015 a rebuilt batting order is producing. The Braves host the New York Mets on Saturday looking to remain unbeaten after a thrilling 5-3 victory Friday, during which Atlanta scored two early unearned runs and took the lead on Phil Gosselin’s two-out single in the eighth.

New York hit its first two homers of the season Friday on back-to-back longballs by David Wright and John Mayberry Jr. The Mets’ bullpen – already with closer Jenrry Mejia on the disabled list – cracked in the eighth when Rafael Montero gave up the game-winning hit. Mets shortstop Wilmer Flores committed two errors Friday after recording an error Thursday at Washington. Atlanta’s bullpen is just as big a factor as the offense during the Braves’ surprising start, posting 15 scoreless innings through four games.

TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, MLB Network, WPIX (New York), SportSouth (Atlanta)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Dillon Gee (2014: 7-8, 4.00 ERA) vs. Braves RH Julio Teheran (1-0, 1.50)

Gee hopes to continue the success he enjoyed against the Braves last season, when he went 2-0 against Atlanta with a 1.98 ERA. He struggled in the second half after winning four of his five first-half decisions in 2014, going 3-7 with a 5.10 ERA in his final 13 starts. Gee held off Montero for the final spot in the Mets rotation this spring following Zach Wheeler’s season-ending elbow injury, posting a 2.73 ERA in eight appearances.

Teheran pitched well in beating Miami in Monday season opener, allowing one run on eight hits in six-plus innings. The 24-year-old earned his 30th career victory against the Marlins and is 29-21 in 64 starts since the beginning of 2013. Teheran split four decisions against the Mets last season, giving up nine runs in 23 2/3 innings.

WALK-OFFS:
1. Atlanta CF Cameron Maybin led off Friday’s game with a homer, just Atlanta’s second longball of the season.
2. Gee is 6-4 in 14 lifetime starts against Atlanta with a 2.79 ERA.
3. Braves RHP Jason Grilli recorded his third save Friday.

I don't mean to be that guy, but it's about time to end our association with Omar-era leftovers like Muffy and Gee.

The biggest problem here is that, by leaving Ian Desmond back in Washington, we don't have our best offensive weapon of the season with us this series.

In 3 packs of baseball cards today (a Topps series one, a Topps Opening Day, and a Topps Heritage). A F'kn Freddie Freeman in every pack. Two I Opened before he hit the homer. Not a good omen.

Good time for Lagares to get unstuck. Of course it's already 0-2.

Could have been a better inning ... on the other hand it's tough to complain about getting ONLY three runs when you amass all of one hit.

Nothing like a Mets' trip to Atlanta to take the wind out of

I didn't watch this one. Duda seems to be getting a lot more Schaefer love than the box score would indicate he earned.

Enlighten me - what did I miss?
