Hernandez hasn’t pitched badly but the Mets have lost the last four games that he started. Lopez is making his season debut for the Phils tonight. He made 14 starts for Colorado last year and was 5-4 with a 4.42 ERA.

Nothing like breaking a huge slump by having the Metsy's in town. Right now on paper, there is no way that the Met's can compete with any decent team.

Rodrigo Lopez looked hittable tonight. And Livan server up BP.

Livan Hernandez was so bad tonight. I've been waiting for him to start looking like the guy that the Twins released in the middle of the season last year.
