BASEBALL: Well, That's A Start
Here I was, listening to the Met game on the radio and opening the play-by-play on CBS Sportsline, and before CBS even gets the lineups loaded, Kaz Matsui jacks the first pitch of the game, the first official pitch he's seen as a major league ballplayer, out of Turner Field for a home run.
Nowhere to go but down? Maybe. But it's a start. (Meanwhile, looks like the Yankees are reminding Victor Zambrano not to tug on Superman's cape).
UPDATE: RBI double for KazMat in his second time up; Glavine and Russ Ortiz are both getting teed off on tonight.
Let's go Mets go. I'm not a Kaz believer yet, but I'm starting to regret drafting Junior Spivey over him right now.
Damn it's good to have the Mets back on.
Superman's cape, Hah. The D-rays are for real. All the way baby. whoooooooo!
Hey the 2 Florida team had sellouts on opening day and the D-rays actually won.
This may be the high point of the season, so I have to celebrate!
The super-terrific-happy debut! That was about as encouraging an Opening Day win as the Mets could have between Matsui, Piazza’s HR, Glavine (eventually) pitching well and winning convincingly in Atlanta.
It’s a long season, but that was worth sitting through, even with the godawful boring Braves announcers on TBS…
It's not as much fun cheering for the Braves to lose anymore now that they suck.
Who was it who gambled & renewed Matsui on their fantasy team? And who, after one day, looks like a genius?
Why, it was MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
See you in May when he looks more like Jose Hernandez.....
