So the Mets didn't break a franchise record for best start, the won again today in rather spectacular fashion against the Brewers. Bannister made some mistakes, but he showed admirable character in not getting shaken and pitching he way out of several spots. His lack of experience shows, but his perseverance shows, too. I think he's going to be a pretty good pitcher.

Even Jorge Julio got his first inning where he didn't give up a run! Are we in some bizzaro universe here?

(Yesterday, when Randolph put Julio in when the Mets were losing badly, Base10 thought that he might become the franchise's official "whipping boy," but apparently he has not quite sunk to this status).

Anyway, Met fans, be happy. The year will doubtless wear on, but this is a great way to start the season. The real test, of course, will be Tuesday when we play our nemesis from Georgia.
