ME: was another good busy day of work and i got plenty done before the weekend. met up with my pal, danny myers and went to hit some fastballs at this awesome batting cage center in brooklyn. only the 75-80 cage was free as the others were being rented for kids on a baseball team...we kept going between the fast cage and softball! it was good fun and my hands smart from the work. felt good. hung out with dan back at the pad and listened to a lot of music. it was good to catch up. he went to florida recently and i wish i could go on vacation!
METS: today, the Mets beat the Marlins 8-2. big production at the plate from Robinson Cancel, who they put behind the plate. i forget exactly where Omar got him from, but i think he came from Detroit. thing is, i think he is, primarily, a leftfielder. Cancel went 3-4 with 2 RBI and a run scored. Beltran went 2-3 with two runs scored and Argenis Reyes, playing second, went 3-5 with an RBI. the Mets got 4 runs in the second inning and batted around the lineup. 'twas a good game. Delgado played and went 1-4 with a run. Maine was masterful once again, pitching five shutout innings, striking out six Marlins and letting up only three hits. impressive. so far, seems Maine's been showing the strongest outings. Santana and Castillo, who used to play together on the Twins, will start tomorrow for the first time as Mets teammates against the Cardinals. new Mets catcher, Brian Schneider, has sat out with a tight hamstring and Willie is wondering who will actually be healthy to play /make the roster, as spring training winds down. there's no question, the big names on the roster have been hurt this spring (Alou, Delgado, Beltran, Anderson, Church); hopefully some good can come of the Mets youth as backup.
