I'm on top of the world!!!

Alright, 1/2 game lead over the Marlins for first in the NL East. Johan stepped up, David bounced back, and nobody remembers that this team is jinxed against the Phillies.

But here's the best part of my day. I watched real live baseball for the first time this spring. And I got to watch the Braves lose. Who cares if it was the Richmond Braves, they still lost. And watching stud prospect Brandon Jones (#4 in the Braves organization, according to Baseball America) drop an easy fly ball, sitting about 10 rows up from the spot he dropped the ball.

But here's the stunner of the night. Looking at the stats sheet in the program I learned that Salvatore Frank Fasano is the only player on the Richmond Braves to hit a triple this year. Let that sink in for a minute. Sal never hit a triple in his major league career, but he has one already this year.

Anyhow, its been a good day. Tomorrow could be better with a chance to watch the Mets play for the second time this year.

Thank God for nationally televised games. Let's Go Mets!!!
