My Mets played their first spring training game yesterday and it was a good game to be a mets fan. Jose Reyes homered from both sides of the plate batting in the 3 hole, Beltran homered and the mets won comfortably 9-0 so that was good. (Obviously it means nothing- other than Jose will slump trying to hit for power) But its nice to have baseball back- I love the NCAA tournament and the regular season even has been very entertaining (though its a bit hard to say that there is any one really 'elite' team) But baseball is back! More steroid issues aside its just a comfort sport, its daily ebb and flow are something no other sport can capture, over a 162 games every day is a mini-battle and we look for keys on how that game might shape the rest of the season- and no other sport does that. Plus fantasy baseball is a daily challange which admittedly I'm not great at (I did pull out one championship out of three leagues ON THE LAST DAY OF THE SEASON, it was my first day in first all year- on the last day)
Overall though it marks the 'official' begining of spring and warm weather, and I think that I'm ready for it. Play Ball! and have a great weekend!
