Finally, Spring Training

Dreamy, mischeivious look! He's like that midget on American Idol who sung Smokey Robinson!

Can we start calling him "Brick Shithouse"? That'd be outstanding.

[Guest AG/DC]

Even his nips are hard.

[Vic Sage]

you fellas ought to get a room...

I'm watching Daily News Live(not live at 11PM) and they are actually talking over what it means that Santana gave up some hits today in his first live batting practice.

So what did they come up with?

From the video I saw, Santana and Schneider were basically calling out his pitches. How much meaning are they going to get out of that?

[metsmarathon]

i'd be much more concerned if our batters weren't able to get any hits off of any pitcher's first batting practice session.

[metirish]

Santana hits a home run during batting practice for pitchers, he and his team mates react.

Howie Clark, wearing #93.

[Gwreck]

I believe that's Brady Clark.

Check out Keith's haircut!

I've never seen him with such short hair!

Ron Darling says that, if he's healthy, Santana will threaten to get 300 strikeouts this year.

Santana's debut less than desired.

Gave up a 3 run dinger to Juan Gonzalez (yeah, that Juan Gonzalez from the 1990s) in the first.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Mets open the bottom of the first with back-to-back singles. Reyes beats out an infield hit, then Clark singles up the middle sending Reyes to third.

[metirish]

In his regular-season career against Santana, Gonzalez has six hits in seven at-bats, including two homers and two doubles.

Wow, just watched the first inning re-run. Looks like we got some damaged
goods. I demand a full investigation into this trade NOW!!!

Or as big a belly

[Guest KC]

Gary freakin' me out in the 2nd against the Dodgers as I'm reading Niese's
wikipedia blurb and he's saying what I'm reading.

Niese looks sharp. Do we need a ST-IGT thread or is this it?

AG/DC says that, if healthy, Ron isn't thinking that through.
