Up Next: The New York Mets play the rubber game of the series against the Philadelphia Phillies: Thursday April 7, 2011 at 3:05 pm.
One thing that I noticed tonight was that the Mets should have brought up another lefty, any lefty, maybe Misch instead of Duda for the first week especially for the Phillies series. They are very left-hand heavy w/Rollins switching to the left side, Howard, Ibanez. Also, I would think that any team's starting pitching is going to need that extra arm in the bullpen in the early going.
