Yanks, Mets begin spring training

Spring training exhibition games kicked off for both the Yankees and Mets in Florida today.

In what may be a potential World Series preview, the Yanks dropped their opener to the Phillies 5-4. Jorge Vazquez went 2-2 with a homer for the Bombers in the loss.

In Port St. Lucie, the boys in blue and orange and the Braves played to a 5-5 tie. The game was called after 10 innings. The Mets showed resiliency, coming back from behind to tie the game on 3 separate occasions. Jennry Mejia started the game, allowing 1 unearned run over 2; Fernando Martinez and Willie Harris homered for the Mets.

It's nice to see baseball back in action, especially because it means spring is right around the corner.
