Spring TRAINING

Now that spring training has started, baseball fever is only beginning. Two stadiums in New York that have seen a lot of great baseball over the years. The Mets are finally looking better than the Yankees. Although a negative, even steroids are stirring things up and making stories all over the place, especially in Houston, where now questionable hall of famer Roger Clemens is sweating bullets. But fans have to remember that this is only spring training. People are quick to forget that results of these games can never ever be used to foreshadow a team's season. I bet you that somewhere, some Mets fan right now is feeling very uneasy because Johan Santana gave up three earned runs in the first inning of today's game against the Cardinals. I bet that after that first inning, Santana went back to the bench slightly disappointed, but then happy that he had control of his stuff, and placed the ball where he wanted to. If you lose sleep over this, you need a reality check. After a weak spring training last year, the Mets won their first six.
