Johan Santana is very, very good for ratings

Check this out:

Last year, SNY's first spring training Mets telecast attracted only 0.14 percent of area households - understandable on a weekday afternoon.

This season's first spring training game Friday afternoon drew 0.80 percent of homes - more than five times as many as last year.

Today I'm trying to learn how to use the new (actually, less old) laptop the office gave me last week, plus writing a newspaper column for Tuesday, so the pace of blog posts will be relatively slow. Thanks for your patience.

Neil,
Speaking of SNY, do you know if both road and home games will finally be broadcast in High Def this year? I thought I remembered you mentioning something about it during the offseason?

Thanks

It has not been announced yet, but I would be willing to bet my first born that it will happen in time for Opening Day, yes. OK, maybe not my first born. Maybe just my house.

Neil,
Your the man, thanks for getting back to me. Lets hope SNY is paying attention.
