Mets

The baseball season starts in less than a month and I couldn’t be more excited. I haven’t watched a baseball game since the dreadful collapse of the Mets that concluded with the last outing of Tom Glavine's career as a Met. In less than one inning the hall of fame pitcher have up a career high seven runs. Throughout the playoffs, the World Series, and a long off-season Mets fans have been depressed. Something died on that day, the last day of the season. Maybe it was Tom Glavine’s popularity in New York that died because since that game he is not very liked anymore. Or maybe it’s just the fact that he resigned with his former team, the Atlanta Braves who just happen to be the Mets biggest division rivals. But it is time to forget all about that. Glavine will probably face the Mets about three or four times next season as a brave and it is my prediction that he will get rocked. Glavine is way too old and has nothing left in his crumbling left arm. A new season is upon us and the Mets will look to dominate the division like they did most of last year. The Mets season kicks off on March 31st against the Florida Marlins with ace Johan Santana on the mound. Young pitcher Mike Pelfrey is pitching great this spring training and is making a push for the fifth and final spot in the rotation. Odds are he will get the spot instead of veteran Orlando “El Duque” Hernandez who is working to perfect a new more conventional pitching style. The Mets will do big things this season and another team to watch out for is the fully loaded Detroit Tigers.
