Tonight the Mets beat the Marlins 7-2 on OPENING DAY.  Did you find yourself wishing the Mets had this run production on September 29th of last year?  Because I sure did.  I swear.. 2007 is like herpes... you might temporarily forget about it, you might try to suppress it, but it always comes back to haunt you.

- Also, did anyone notice that JOHAN SANTANA was wearing a Mets jersey tonight?  It was unreal.  Santana went 7 innings and struck out 8.  Other than the Willingham 2 run HR he seemed untouchable.

- Heilman was back to his old self, shutting down the Marlins in the 9th with two strikeouts. 

- My God.  Could the polos in the announcers' booth be any worse?  I was watching the game with friends and was embarrassed by what SNY was making Gary, Keith, and Ron wear.  Come on.  Let them put on a suit.

- David Wright was 2-4 with 3 RBI.  Carlos Beltran, aka, man of terrible haircut but great away from Shea numbers, was 2-5.  Jose Reyes who was SAFE despite being called out stealing in the 6th inning, was 2-4. 

Thank god baseball is back.  Tomorrow I will let you all know what I was doing this off season.  It won't be pretty, but then again, neither is Dolphin Stadium.
