Runner’s diary, Tuesday

One-hit wonder?
Political candidacies — like tables and chairs — need more than one leg to stand upright. Chris Christie, the Republican frontrunner in the race for governor, may be about to learn this first hand.
Spring hopes eternal
Nine days until Johan Santana opens the season in Cincinnati and I find myself just perking up to the reality of it.
It's been a long offseason, thanks to collapse redux, a Phillies title and a Yankees spemding spree, but the new bullpen looks good and the starting pitching has serious potential (though it remains a question mark to some degree because of age and inconsistency).
The lineup is the issue, more specifically the back end with the anemic Brian schneider and Luis Castillo batting in front of the pitcher. I'd almost rather seem Santana and No. 5 starter Livan Hernandez hit seven.
But it is spring and in spring hope springs eternal — even for the Nationals.
And I just may have to buy this toddler Mets cap for my niece, Jocelyn (maybe they have it in pink). Have to give her the proper direction, after all.
