Big game to get here. Last night was fantastic. Best time I've had at a ballgame since the heady days of 2006.
Amazing crowd -- yeah it was fireworks night, but there were hardly any phils fans and the vibe just gets more and more positive. Really fun time to be a Mets fan right now.
Dickey: 2.15 ERA Santana: 2.76 ERA Niese: 3.35 ERA Young: 2.75 ERA
FREAKING GREAT.
I like how we basically have three guys who, of late, have been pitching well enough to be threes on a lot of staffs. I expect to win when Johan or Dickey are pitching, and I feel pretty confident with each of the other three. Not a lot of teams can say that.

Nickeas seems like a nice guy. But I think his bat doesn't translate to the majors. I'd hate to see him get demoted, but we need a but more with the stick, even as a backup catcher.
