PreGame: Nats @ Mets

The Mets are welcoming back former third-base coach, Manny Acta tonight, as the Mets take on the Washington Nationals for game one of a three game series.

Mike Pelfrey (0-0) will make his season debut against John Patterson (0-2)

Im expecting the lineup to look as follows:

1. Jose Reyes           SS          

2. Paul Lo Duca        C

3. Carlos Beltran     CF

4. Carlos Delgado     1B

5. David Wright        3B

6. Moises Alou          LF

7. Shawn Green        RF

8. Jose Valentin        2B

*9. Mike Pelfrey          P

*-  Player is making his 2007 Debut tonight.

As for the Mets offense, everything should be fine against the mediocre Nationals pitching rotation this series. Tonight, Patterson, who is 0-2, should face some problems against the Mets hot bats.

Streaking: 3B David Wright has a 21 game hitting streak, and extended it last night with a triple. He has been usually extending it in his last at-bat of the games.

It is crucial for the Mets to win games against the Nationals this season, as the NL East is looking to be a very tight race this season. PRESSURE IS ON!

Let’s hope for the best, and LETS GO METS!
