March 29, 200422 yr Tuesday's openers include: Tom Glavine returning to Atlanta with the Mets and hoping to put bad 2003 memories in the past; Vlad Guerrero leading the reloaded Angels into Seattle and maybe facing Eddie Guardado at crunch time; Richie Sexson's debut in Arizona against Colorado; and the Yanks and Rays meeting again, this time back in Florida. And in that same state, the magic will be back at Pro Player as the Marlins begin their effort to defend their title. "It's going to be pretty exciting," said Beckett, the Most Valuable Player of the 2003 World Series after a breakout autumn. "It's going to be a lot like the playoffs with 60,000. That's a lot of people and it's loud. I don't think any place is louder when there are 60,000, because that place is closed off. It's going to be a good time." Mike Lowell is among the Marlins who re-signed, a stark contrast to the exodus that followed the club's 1997 world championship. The third baseman said he hopes seeing the world championship banner raised will set the tone for 2004. "I'm excited for the whole week," Lowell said. "We're going to have good crowds, which is nice. They will probably have a nice video on the JumboTron, which is nice because it gets you pumped up. You relive all the highlights. I'm very excited. I think the guys are focused and we could really get off to a good start." Just read an article and noticed this at the end of it, thought you guys might be interested.
