No, you see, the Mets opened their season when they lost that fluke of a three-game sweep in Philly... now they play the Phils again to open Citifield. (Finally! I thought the three-week homestand the Yankees got to open their new stadium would never end).

I'm sure these New New Mets will handle the Phillies this time. I'm really glad they signed Mark Texeira; all the writers saying the Mets only signed him because the Yankees didn't want him are just jealous. I'm sure he'll get on track soon.

Privately, the Mets believe they scored enough runs last season (799, tied for second in the NL with the Phillies). Unless they can pull off an unlikely trade of Luis Castillo and add free agent Orlando Hudson to play second base, the likely move is to add a backup infielder such as Alex Cora.
799 runs is enough. Don't score a run more.
