Happy Opening Day finally came. We beat the snow this winter, so today is extra special.
Had a conversation with a business colleague the other day and he is a diehard Baltimore Orioles fan. We vowed that 2012 would be like 1969 - though our optimism for both teams to get to the vaunted WS is not that high, it would be great.
Santana, coming off a wash of 2011 looked great. I didnt see the game in person (darn work!) but got a chance to see the encore performance on SNY. Very encouraging performance. We need these. Naturally the Mets are pros at winning Opening Day - something like 32 of the last 42.
Good to beat the Braves...let's continue to fight hard.
I see Andre Torres is down ---- Hey Eric Byrnes --- how about coming back?

2010 - Put the Seatbelt On....Gonna Be a Long Ride
Thrilled to death the season is starting. I am watching the Yankees-Red Sox game as I am writing this - but don't call me a traitor. Not hopping on any bandwagons. I'm a dyed (Blue and Orange) in the wool Mets fan through and through.
The reality is, we are going to have a tough year. Omar sat and fiddled while great deals burned about him. (Instead we are getting burned with D-List - a la Kathy Griffin - caliber players). Jason Bay is going to be a welcome addition, but he won't carry the team. Reyes. Beltran. Murphy - all question marks of what and when.
I see the pundits are putting the Amazins at third or fourth. Pitching would be the linchpin that are going to move us. And, before I start ranting, Omar, please, get rid of Perez. I heard on WFAN that at least 10 teams would be interested in him - save for that Stimlus-like salary package. If he starts to slide, time to move him. Personally, I would watch out for the Nationals. They did a lot of rebuilding with some good lunchpail players.
Going to go out on a limb here -- Eric Byrnes will be Comeback Player of the Year. Omar, you could have had him cheap. But, as Ralph Kramden, of Honeymooners fame said, "What do I know, I'm just a blogger."
And, speaking of, I am glad to be back blogging for my beloved team!
