After a one day hiatus, the Mets are back in action today against Atlanta. As previously mentioned, it will be DIckey and Jurrjens pitching. Accuscore on ESPN is predicting that the Mets are 58% favorites; I'm not sure about that, but I wouldn't mind another win!
This is Dickey's first start after his long mountain hike up to some peak (Kilimanjaro?). I'm hoping he has a fantastic game. He usually has slow starts to the season; I am hoping that does not continue.
Andres Torres was placed on the 15 day DL after only a few innings played. HE strained his calf and was replaced by Scott Hairston, who is coming off an oblique injury. Not a good start to the year for our CF.
Bailey told reporters yesterday that he hopes to be back before the end of the year; hopefully he is right. A clear story also came out on how he injured it. There were originally rumors that he jammed it while squeezing a shampoo bottles, but I guess that was just a rumor. He jammed it covering first against Pittsburgh, but pitched through it as he thought it was nothing. It got worse and worse until he needed surgery.
