Last Night's Action: Play Ball!

2007_04_metscards.jpg

  • Mets 6 Cardinals 1: Yes, baseball followed all the other sports and sold out for the highest dollar, ruining the best tradition in sports, Opening Day, but at least they put a New York team into “Opening Night” this year.

    It doesn’t make up for the NLCS, but the Mets got 2007 off to a great start, pummeling Chris Carpenter and getting a great start from Tom Glavine. Paul LoDuca had 3 RBI’s and Carlos Delgado had 2, while Shawn Green got off to a good start with a 2-for-4 night at the plate.

    Tuesday, the Mets will get the pleasure of watching the Cardinals get their rings.

  • Rangers 7 Maple Leafs 2: It is all clicking for New York right now. Henrik Lundqvist made several big stops when the game was close while Sean Avery had two goals an assist and a fight.

    The win puts the Rangers back into sixth place with three games left.

  • Devils 3 Bruins 1: Jay Pandolfo scored twice as the Devils jumped back into first in the Atlantic Division.

umm... not quite sure what's so great about a tradition that only people who are lucky enough to be out of school, able to ditch work, or unemployed are able to take part in, but ok.

Huh? What the hell are you talking about? Are you upset that the seasons first game was at night in St. Louis? I'm very confused by this statement. The last couple years the first game of the season has been overseas. First in Tokyo and then in Puerto Rico. I also believe it's a tradition for the Cardinals to open one day before everyone else. But hey, it's more fun to be indignant and complain how Baseball's "sold out". Yeah, 'cause that certainly didn't happen years and years ago.

sean avery is the man

Actually the Cardinals had the first game because they won the world series the year prior.

Just like last year with the White Sox and the year prior with the Red Sox.
