Game 5 - Mets 8, Marlins 4

I'm a touch tired writing this, spending the majority of my evening driving around my apartment looking for a 24-hour Walgreens to buy diapers on sale...

I didn't get a chance to see much of the game, did listen to Luis help manufacture the first run. Single, sac and a double by Reyes, showing a touch of the reason why Manuel thought about putting him in the No. 3 hole.

That was never going to happen anyway, but made good stories for the press in March.

Livan sounded good anyway, keeping the Fish at bay with an 86 MPH fastball and junk like his older "brother" used to throw...

Regardless of the outcome on Easter Sunday, this was a quality way to start the season. You can only ask to go .500 on the road, trying to take two out of three. One trip through the rotation and we're 3-2. I'll take that for the season...

Especially when we get to trot out Johan Santana every fifth day.

Your wife lets you drive your car around your apartment? It doesn't get the carpets dirty?
