As you may or may not know, I'm in Port St. Lucie with the Mets.
Random hotel scene No. 1
At 7: 45 this morning, as I am eating a warm cinnamon roll in the hotel breakfast room, a girl who couldn't be more than 21 years old asked me if I had a bottle opener. She had a bottle of Budweiser in her hand. I told her I did not.

About 10 minutes later I walk through the lobby on my way to the ballpark. I see said girl with another woman, and they're both drinking their beers. The second woman looked like it probably was her mother. Amazing.
Anyway...
Johan Santana pitches today in a minor-league game, his final tuneup prior to Opening Day. I'm looking forward to seeing the two-time Cy Young award winner in action.
