Mets Win Spring Training Opener, World Series Now Expected

The lowly Mets defeated the Braves 4-2 in yesterday's Spring Training Opener, convincing fans across the baseball industry that they are for real this season. The impressive win over a bunch of no-name Braves minor leaguers come after rave reviews that David Wright took 10 straight groundballs at 3rd base without committing an error.

"We are the team to beat" said Mets Manager Charlie Manuel. "You should have seen Jason Bay catch fly balls this morning."

The Mets continue their quest to win the World Series at their next Spring Training game against the Cardinals. With the loss, the Braves are already looking ahead to 2011.
