Mets 6, Nats 0I was at Shea last night for the Mets-Nationals game. It was a bit cold for baseball, but a good game, good company, and lots of fun. Thanks to Ken for the ticket. The Amazin's won 6-0. José Reyes had four hits — a single, double, and triple in his first three at bats — and David Wright* had a homer and five RBIs. The biggest surprise of the night was seven strong innings pitched by Mike Pelfrey. Perhaps he is beginning to live up to his potential. It was Jackie Robinson Day at MLB parks. I wore my Brooklyn Dodgers cap to the game to honor him. * The best position player in the NL.
