The Mets dominated the Orioles in the first Spring Training game, winning by a score of 9-3….ok, so maybe the score doesn’t really matter in Spring Training (especially for the first game), but it’s still nice to see the Mets win.  And for that matter, it’s nice to see the Mets not blow a big lead!  I sincerely hope this game was an accurate prediction of what the 2009 season will look like, especially since our three starters who played today, Castillo, Church and Murphy, went a combined 6-9 and Castillo and Church got 7 RBI.  And those aren’t even the big bats on the Mets!  Haha, I know talk like this is cheap in February, but it’s positive reinforcement, so I’ll take it.

Thanks for the comments on my brief live blog of the game…I was even added to the MLB live blog list, so I guess I’m turning into a legit blogger…of course my usage of the word legit might have just reversed that, but oh well!  I’ll do my best to live blog wheneverr I can, but I have to admit that my class schedule might get in the way (not that it distracts me though, I was definitely sitting in my Psych class this afternoon thinking that they were about to throw the first pitch of the spring).  I should be able to cover the first two hours of the Mets game against Florida tomorrow, so be sure to stop by and check it out.  Also, let me know how I can improve, it’s always good to get a little advice!  To see the box score of today’s game, just click here.

And although the Mets are technically playing in the Grapefruit league right now, if they were in the NL East Spring Training standings, they’d be in FIRST, as Florida tied and the Nats, Braves and Phils all lost….aww, too bad world champs!

Tomorrow’s Game: vs. Florida at 1:10.  It looks like we may see some more of the starters, so hopefully it will be a good game with a lot to get excited about!
