The day before 10 of the Mets' major leaguers left to play in the World Baseball Classic, they shellacked the Astros 13-1 in Port St. Lucie. The day after 10 of the Mets major leaguers went off to play for their countries, St. Louis (including Albert Pujols, who apparently feels no particular national pride in wherever it is he comes from) killed the Mets 15-4, and the lowly Washington Nationals beat the Mets B-Team 6-4 the next day. The Mets, however, managed to beat the Italian WBC 3-2 team on Thursday, and the Cardinals 5-6 on Friday. So maybe it won't be nothing but mis-matches until the guys playing in the WBC get back to Florida.
I hate to say it, but I'm willing to bet that Wright and Putz (both playing for the US) will be the first to return to spring training after they're eliminated from the tournament.
