Mets opening day Lineup

Willie Harris will bat in the 2 hole for opening day
I'll get to a season prediction in a bit but here is the Mets opening day starting lineup for tomorrow's away game against the Florida Marlins.

1. Jose Reyes-SS
2.Willie Harris- LF
3.David Wright-3B
4.Carlos Beltran-RF
5.Angel Pagan-CD
6. Ike Davis-1B
7.Brad Emaus-2B
8.Josh Thole-C
9.Mike Pelfrey-P

Obviously this lineup is not complete without Jason Bay and its obviously just one game but I have to nit-pick just for a second. Why the hell is Willie Harris hitting #2? That is a spot that is clearly a great fit for Angel Pagan. He has speed, he puts the ball in play and that's where he's likely going to bat for the entire season. I don't know why Collins has placed the less talented Harris in the 2 hole.

I would have liked to see Lucas Duda's pop in LF but there is some seniority involved there. Lets Go Mets baby!

Funny story...Hall of Famer George Brett talks about when he shits himself.
