What baseball is all about

Tomorrow, Johan Santana will take on John Smoltz as ace meets ace for what will most likely be a pitching duel.

This is baseball at it's finest. Two aces, one in the middle of his career and another nearing the end of a most likely Hall of Fame bound one, taking on each other in an early divisional matchup. Not only do Mets fans get to watch and hopefully enjoy their ace take the mound and try to right the ship after their team game up 11 runs, but they'll be able to watch what, on paper, looks to be a classic game in the making.

Of course, for this 1:35 p.m. game, I'll be out of the room, and unable to watch. Here's to a four hour rain delay! Tomorrow may shape up to be a classic matchup, and it may not happen many times this season, so tune in to see two pitchers on top of their game.

Everyone loves a pitchers duel.
