On February 27,2008, Major League Baseball's Spring Training started. A total of ten teams started playing baseball on that date and it kicked off the new baseball season. I am a big baseball fan and I am happy that it is about to start. I can't wait to go to Shea Stadium to see the New York Mets play this year. They are expected to win a lot of games and go deep into the playoffs. This year should be a very exciting year in baseball and every game that I watch should be a great experience. The only problem for this season is that it is the last year of Shea Stadium so tickets are going to be hard to get. The Mets open up Citi Field next year which is also very exciting but I am going to miss going to Shea like I do every year.
The Mets lost their first two spring training games but their are many more to go. These games are only practice and not all of their players are even playing in these games so it doesn't really matter if they win them or not. Spring Training is all about developing young players and realizing what players are everyday and bench players for your team to start the regular season. They lost the first game of Sping Training to the Detroit Tigers. The final score was 4 to 2 but it was still a good game since a lot of their young players got a chance to play and display thier skills. The New York Mets also lost their second game, which was today, to the St.Louis Cardinals. The final score of this game was 7 to 0 and the Mets didn't look that good at all in this one. Even though they lost two games in a row it is only practice and it is not a big deal. Spring Training has got me excited and ready for the start of the regular MLB season. The New York Mets first game of the regular season is on March 31 at 4:15 against the Florida Marlins. I can't wait for the season to start because it should be exciting and a fun experience.
