Live Blogging the Mets Home Opener

I"ll be live blogging the Mets' home opener. At least as much as to say that here, at 7:09 pm, April 13, 2009, a mere six days before Allen Raymond Day, the crowd went bananas when Tom Seaver was able to actually get the ball across home plate while still airborne (something he had to do with a one hopper for the last pitch at Shea last fall). And with regards to the word "airborne" we are referring, of course, to the ball, not to Seaver. Seaver looks like he's been hitting the potatoes and I doubt if he has much vertical leap left in him.

Catching, of course, was Mike "The Pizza Man" Piazza.

Me? I've got a big lump.
