Mets lose to the Florida Marlins 5-4.

The good news is that the Mets (2-2) had plenty of opportunities considering they left at least one runner on base every inning. Alarming is the lack of clutch hitting.

Marlins are 4-0. Phillies (1-2) got lit up by Colorado and Atlanta (2-1) beat the perpetual doormat of the NL east.

The Mets need to win the series against the Marlins to bring them back down to Earth before they get on one of those silly 20 game win streak and screws up the division. Sunday is in the bag with Johan going, so hopefully Livan can bring back that magic he had when he broke out in the world series a decade ago and get us a win on Saturday. Livan Hernandez started his career pitching for the Marlins in 1996, the Mets are the eighth team in his career. Livan, please have one more great year left in the tank.
