Happy New Year!

The baseball season started last night as the Mets beat the Undeserving World Series Champion Cardinals (c) 6 - 1. Today, the rest of the teams kick off the season, and in most places it's beautiful baseball weather.

Baseball is a statistical game prone to sudden poetic outbursts. Since I have no poetry just yet, here's a snapshot of a season just hours old. It's a living, breathing organism, prone to mood swings. It will subtly mature, and at some point we'll realize it's no longer young. Later on, in most markets, will come the realization that this isn't The Year. For now, all hopes are unbounded.

Hmm, I just realized this is of a feather with my Opening Day poem last year.
