3 run home run off of Strasburg by Andrew Brown in the bottom of the first inning.

I'm not too fond of the Mets for trading Ike Davis to the Pirates. Here's hoping that Ike's run of futility in 2013 continues this season.

.

The Mets are 9-6 since starting the season at 0-3.

Last year, I was touting their young starting pitchers that have something to look forward to in 2014 and beyond.

.

Between Wheeler, Harvey, Niese, and Gee, the Mets may have a solid young nucleus of starting pitchers in 2015 and beyond (Harvey may or may not be back next year, which is why I say 2015 and beyond.)

.

After 97 games, the mediocre Mets are playing .454 ball.

Matt Harvey, Zack Wheeler, Dillon Gee, and company may have something to look forward to in 2014 and beyond. Harvey is already a young phenom, Wheeler is a highly touted rookie, and the 27 year-old Gee has pitched very well in 8 of his last 10 starts.

With Harvey out until either late this season or the start of next season, the Metsies may still be a year away from really coming together, but I'm still pretty optimistic in terms of their rotation in the long-term.

Zack Wheeler, Matt Harvey, Jonathon Niese, and Dillon Gee.

And now they have 24 year-old Jenrry Mejia, who is off to a solid start (2-0 with a 2.81 E.R.A.) to start the 2014 season.

We'll see what happens.

In the 4-game series against the Cardinals, the Mets' starting pitchers pitched 3 excellent games, and 1 pretty good game.

JENRRY MEJIA:O)... 6.67 Innings, O...) 0 Runs

DILLON GEE:OOOooo 6 Innings, OOO...) 2 Runs

JONATHON NIESE:O 6.67 Innings, OOO 1 Run

BARTOLO COLON:O.. 7 Innings, OOO...o 1 Run

Amazing they are 14-11. They aren't hitting anything.

Bartolo Colon pitched another good game last night in the Mets' win over the Marlins.

7.67 innings of 1-run ball, WHILE SCATTERING HITS IN THE PROCESS. :eektf:

11 of those 12 hits were singles (the 12th was a double.) :scratchchinhmm:

The 41 year-old has done a really good job this season in holding the fort while the Mets continue to groom their talented young starters (Zack Wheeler, Jacob deGom, Jonathon Niese, Dillon Gee), as well as bridge the gap until Matt Harvey comes back next season.
