Game 6: Mets vs. Phillies @ Shea Stadium

The last home opener at Shea Stadium: April 8, 2008. Oliver Perez vs. Jamie Moyer

The Good: The Mets had a chance to win this game with Delgado's homer, and Perez's 5+ scoreless innings. However, this game looked a like like the 2007 Mets-Phillies games. In the seventh inning, the Mets would cough up the lead by allowing three runs and then two more in the eighth off of Aaron Heilman.

The Bad: Carlos Delgado had a big error that pretty much cost us the game and Heilman worsened our small chance of winning. Jimmy Rollins and Luis Castillo both left today's game with injuries to their legs.

Overall: Ugh. What a bad showing for the last home opener at Shea.

Notes: Darryl Strawberry joined SNY as an analyst.

Final Score: Mets 2, Phillies 5. Record: 2-4.
