Post Game: Mets 7 Marlins 2

March 31, 2008

Johan Santana gets the win in his first start as a Met. Hopefully, that’s the first win of many.
The crowd was about 60-70% Mets fans. We had the “Let’s Go Mets” chant going for most of the game. As expected, Dolphin Stadium is much nicer than Shea. There were no traffic problems even though the [...]

I’m on my way to Florida for the road opener in Miami. It’s amazing how easy it was to get field level seats. $28/each to sit right behind the Mets bullpen. If I get there early enough I’ll get to see Johan Santana warming up right in front of me!
I’ve been looking at the weather [...]
