A Breath of Fresh Air

A day away from all things Mets was necessary, maybe even refreshing. What was even better was coming back tonight and seeing the A-Team on the field. The Mets have taken the first game of a series again, but you had to feel good about this one.

The Mets got on the board first and piled the runs on as the night continued. Glavine had a typical Glavine-like outing and even helped his own cause at the plate. The Mets won this game with contributions from 1-9 in the lineup. More importantly, they looked loose, yet energized. They looked like the Mets team who was out there, clicking on all cylinders, and having fun at the same time.

I can't say enough about tonight's game. Reyes played his game, Beltran and Delgado looked much better at the plate, Glavine finally notched 296, they played small ball and long ball, and we were treated to some stellar defensive plays. On a sidenote, I loved every second of Tommy G trying to motor home from 1st base.

One can only hope this is a step in the right direction, but they must keep moving forward tomorrow. The fresh air feels nice.
