Home Opener

This was one of those games where you're just waiting for the Mets to put up a big number. It seemed like every inning Howie & Wayne were describing a tremendous play by Victorino, but I kept expecting that eventually those hits were going to fall in/hit the wall/clear the wall and the Mets would have a big inning. Moyer seemed to survive by the skin of his teeth and the Mets rued all those missed hangers and deep outs.

Perez was also living dangerously, but he escaped thanks to Smith. Sosa, Schoenweiss & Heilman, however ...

That was the 8th time the Mets have played Philadelphia for the home opener and the first time they've lost.

Whatever about what happened during and just after the game, I thought I heard some boos for many of the Mets as they were introduced. Heilman, Schoenweiss, Pelfrey in particular. Kind of surprised me, but the first two earned those boos later.
