No, I don't mean Christmas, but the start of the baseball season and Mr. Met is the part of the jolly man in a suit.  Is it bad that my year revolves around the MLB schedule?  Seriously, I don't recognize the new year until the first pitch of a new baseball season. 

I am so excited right now I can't contain myself at my office.  I do have one issue, and that is I am not leaving work early to go catch the game.  Instead, I made the difficult decision to DVR the game.  I say difficult because from 4:00 until I get home I will have to avoid all contact with people, my computer and my phone.  I have already sent a spoiler alert email to my friends saying I do not want to know ANYTHING that happens. 

As you can see, opening day is very important to me.  It is a fresh beginning, a new start filled with hope and optimism.  We know the Mets will win at least 60 games and lose about 60 games, it is the other 42 games that make this so interesting. 

Welcome 2008 MLB season.  I look forward to seeing what you have to offer. 

Less than 2 hours! Johan fucking Santana! Let's Go Mets!
