I don't think anyone is surprised that Doc Halladay went out and completely obliterated the Mets putting up 7 innings of doughnuts but I am surprised at how poorly Jonathan Niese pitched. I thought the young left-hander would have at least some mild success against the Phillies but clearly he was not sharp today.
Hopefully this won't affect him or the Mets moving forward as they return to New York for the home opener against the Nationals. Pelfrey and Niese both have to improve upon last season in order for the Mets to be competitive and certainly giving up 6+ a piece in these last 2 games is a regression. This Mets rotation has got me really worried. I can't decide whether I am happy going home with a 3-3 record. I think part of me thought we could swipe 2 from the Phillies. At least were not Red Sox fans right now.
