I’m in Tucson, and we were out at dinner with the family, so I didn’t get to watch all of opening day. The restaurant had a bar with a TV, and the game was on, so I watched parts of it, and followed the game from the dinner table on my Pearl otherwise. Glavine and the Mets took the opener from Carpenter and the Cardinals, 6-1. They have the best record in the majors, 1-0, but will be tied with a lot of teams for that record tomorrow. Glavine needs 9 more wins for 300.

Here’s me and Evan watching the game. The situation: Bases loaded, 1 out, Rolen up for the Cards. Heilman relieves Joe Smith.

He induced a 4-6-3 doubleplay groundball.
