Nice Opening Day win. Nady goes 4 for 4, Wright homers, Anderson Hernandez with a play at 2nd Matsui NEVER would have made. Glavine gives a gutty effort, Heilman works through trouble and Wagner closes it out.

Strange game though. Home plate ump was shaky all day with the strike zone, and key play in the game is a blown call at the plate. With the Mets up 3-2, Soriano tries to score from first on a double with nobody out. Nice relay from Floyd to Reyes to LoDuca, but LoDuca drops the ball. His back was to the ump and LoDuca's hand landed right on the ball as he fell. Alertly, he held it up and Soriano is called out.

Smart play by LoDuca, but poor job by the ump, as well as whoever was on deck for the Nationals. Beltran makes a nice play in the 9th to throw out Vidro going for 2 to end it.

Good to start with a win. Off day tomorrow with the rookie Bannister to go Wednesday and Pedro to take the hill Thursday.
