Although I wasn't around when Teatro all Scala opened in Milan in 1778, something tells me the reviews of the Salieri's opening performance of Europa riconosciuta in the world's greatest opera house weren't overrun with laudatory verses about the spaghetti alle vongole being sold during intermission.
Yet after a week's opening run of official baseball at Citi Field the recurrent observation by the media and even fans seems to focus more on the ponderous abundance of quality nosh than it does on the quality of play on the field.
Happy reading and let's hope the change of venue does the Mets some good.

Well I nominate tonight's game as "Most Upsetting Loss of the Year". Likely there will be many more like this. But I don't think I can take any more close-ups of Daniel Murphy's face after a misadventure in left field. That poor child will be scarred for life by this experiment.
And why didn't Carlos slide!!??
yeah! why not! I feel for Murph though, it's not like he isn't putting in the effort!
I actually had trouble sleeping last night as a result of replaying those two events over and over in my mind - Daniel's semi-somersault and Carlos's non-slide.
well at this rate, the Mets will be out of the pennant race by the All Star break, Luis Castillo can be traded to some playoff team for a few minor leaguers and Murph can be moved to second base
