DNBW III: April 2004
The New York Mets would face a wide variety of opponents in the first month of the 2004 Major League Baseball season. Beginning away at Pittsburgh for three games, the Mets would come home and play the division rival Braves and Expos for six games before beginning an early West Coast trip against the Rockies, Dodgers, and Giants. The month would conclude with two games against the Reds at home as part of a four game series that would continue in through May.
The first week of the 2004 season went far above expectation for the Mets. Opening Day was emblematic of the first week, as the Mets trounced the Pirates 11-3 on the strength of 2 home runs and 6 RBI from the newly acquired Chris Richard. Tom Glavine, who struggled mightily in his first Mets debut, pitched 6 innings of 2 run ball. The Mets took 2 of 3 from Pittsburgh before hosting Atlanta, the defending NL Eastern Division champions. Shocking the baseball world, the Mets swept Atlanta in the 3 game series on the strength of another strong performance from Tom Glavine, who bested his old team with 7 innings of 1 run ball. The Mets followed their sweep by taking 2 of 3 from Montreal at Shea Stadium, including Brian Bannister's first Major League start - an 8 inning, 1 run performance that earned him a win. Prior to the team's ten-game West Coast trip, the team sent Alex Escobar down in favor of outfielder Jeff Duncan in an effort to have a left handed bat available off the bench.
The Mets began their West Coast trip on April 18th in Colorado, losing the first game but winning the rest of the series. The Mets split the series with the Dodgers before being swept by the Giants, deflating the high hopes of the team and manager Art Howe, who controversially said that he "expected to lose a whole lot more". The final two games of the month - at home against Cincinnati - were wins, leading to the team to finish April at 13-8, far above expectations.
