On the Wright Track


The Mets won their opening day game againist the Flordia Marlins 7-1 sparked by a two-run homer by David Wright in the bottom of the first.

The main problem going into this season seems to be the pitching rotation behind Johan Santana. But another problem I have was the power struggle last year of David Wright. Collectively, the Mets struggled with the long ball, but David Wright only hitting ten home runs, well that's just not right (Yes, pun intended).

Wright, who only had ten home runs last season, showed Mets fans in spring training that he looked like he was back to his old self hitting five home runs in just 20 games. What was even better to see was that he hit an opposite field home run. Wright was struggling with power last year but to me it was the lack of opposite field power that was bothering me. Now the new park may of had something to do with that. However, it looks like he has adapted to the new stadium and hopefully will continue with another successful season.

Opening Day with a Mets Victory, can't ask for much more. What were your thoughts on the game? Will David Wright hit 30 homers again? And is me, or are the Mets announcers the greatest ever.
