Yesterday, the New York Mets' season started with a day game against National League East division opponent, the Florida Marlins. The Mets exercised the talent that they picked up in the off-season, Johan Santana. Santana played brilliantly striking out eight and giving up only three hits. Third baseman David Wright went two for four and had three runs batted in. This game insures that the Mets are indeed ready for this upcoming season; everyone's playing well, no players are seriously hurt although the minor injuries are starting to pile up.
Now when you look at the game, everything's fine, but this is why the Mets might never gain superiority in New York City. The New York Post has both covers with Johan Santana on it, great. The first sports story coming from the back page is the Mets, two pages. But then when you keep flipping, the Yankees got the next four pages. This is stunning because they didn't even play! They got rained out! What is there to write about? "Oh yeah the Yankees did not play because of rain." There's no other story there. It never ends! The Mets are always least regarded in New York.
