While the attention now quickly turns to tonight’s official christening of Citi Field, the Mets returned home pointing fingers. Johan Santana blamed young left fielder Daniel Murphy‘s critical botched play in the second inning for a 2-1 loss that wasted a 13-strikeout Santana gem. In the notes, Mike Pelfrey is fired up but a little bit nervous about his historic start tonight in Queens.

After a disappointing end to a disappointing 3-3 trip, the Mets can’t wait to break in their cushy new digs.
