Okay, so not a great weekend. Some positives. Livan pitched pretty well on Saturday. Churchy keeps hitting the ball. Johan pitched great on Sunday, but got the loss. Overall, I'm not horrified with a 3-3 start. I am trying my bewst to stay positive, and if the Mets have proven anything in their necent history, the bginning of the season does not mean near as much as the end.

  Pretty excited ofr the opening of the new ballpark tonight.

  Lets go METS!!!!
