The Mets started the season off right: with a three game sweep of the Cardinals. They outscored them 20-2 over the three games. Last night, John Maine allowed 1 hit through 7, the bullpen 1 hit through 2, Reyes homered, and Beltran homered twice for a 10-0 win. 159 games to go. Their next game is tomorrow at Atlanta, Oliver Perez against Mark Redman.

As far as fantasy baseball goes, my two teams are already in the cellar, as expected. 🙂

MLB.TV is working out nicely, and I upgraded to the premium service for a higher quality stream, and the MLB Mosaic application which I can’t get to work in Linux. I’ll have to figure out what to do with that. Also, it seems I will be able to get MLBEI on cable after all, but don’t know if I will:

NEW YORK — After negotiations that went into extra innings, baseball struck a deal to keep its “Extra Innings” package of out-of-market games on cable television.

Under pressure from Sen. John Kerry, baseball and iN Demand reached an agreement in principle Wednesday on a seven-year contract, a deal that likely will allow the sport’s new TV network to be available in at least 40 million homes when it launches in 2009.
