I don’t know what can be done about the obstructed views at Citi Field but there’s now a petition you can sign to….accomplish something I guess.   The point seems to be to

Citi Field Obstructions Petition

How long until Chuck Schumer realizes this is a trendy subject to be outraged about and releases a statement “against obstructed views.”  Too political?

Section Six blog  has a nice long rant about the obstructed views with a whole new set of pictures.

This will be fun once the tabloids realize what’s going on.

I’ve been preaching it since he signed – Hernandez eats innings!   It’s too bad that Jerry still had to go through several guys, but that’s not Livan’s fault.

How about Boo-is Castillo with that extra batting practice and a 4 for 4!   And Livan looks like a Hall of Fame bunter.   A good night.   More here..

NY Sports Examiner: Hernandez eats innings As Mets beat Marlins 8-4

Mets Blog  says the Mets have announced that Seaver and Piazza will be there for the first pitch on Monday night.

I find it curious that the Mets waited so long to admit it, this has been known for several weeks.  It would be nice if they could announce things not admit them.

The San Diego Padres also hope to be there for Opening Night if they get their nap in.   I hate them.

Here’s the job of the fifth starter.   Don’t chew the bullpen.

Jerry has had to use the bullpen a fair amount this week.   Nothing crazy, but it would sure be nice to give the guys a break.

Last year Livan Hernandez had an awful ERA, and a so so record…however he pitched 180 innings in 31 starts.

That means he’s likely to get you through six, and he’s likely to take the ball every fifth day.

Unlike Pedro Martinez, you know Livan’s gonna take be on the hill every fifth day.  No panic calls to Nelson Figeuroa or the like.   Jerry probably won’t need to warm someone up in the fourth.   Livan might even stink up the joint…but we’ll save the calvary for another day.

I have a suspicion that this is Omar Minaya’s genius pickup for 2009.   The Mets fans I talk to have more confidence in Livan than they do in Ollie.  Poor Ollie.

Don’t forget Mets fans…game time 6:25, television starts at 7:05.   Thanks to Flo Rida.
