Opening Day

I know it's a cliché, but Opening Day really is fantastic. Listening to Howie describe Johan Santana's first start as a Met was a treat. At one stage he said it was "almost sad watching those batters flail at that change-up".

I know I should have been excited when the Mets got Santana, but I wasn't. I think it was part of the hang-over from what happened last fall. It wasn't until the second inning yesterday that I really started to get excited about Santana being a Met. I prefer the Mets to be built around pitching rather than offense. The feeling of confidence having Santana on the mound was so familiar and has been absent for so long.

Nice comfortable win on Opening Day.
