Enjoy the love of the game! We know it's going to be a struggle this season. No sense in over-analyzing the inevitable. All wins this season will be a great feeling.

I'm with ya Dave...for the love of the game is gonna be it this year. But sometimes it's so damn frustrating. :-) :-)

Santana re-tear of shoulder capsule??


http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/blog/ey...oulder-capsule

News has it that he's out for the season...again. Another high priced veteran free agent BUST for the Mets. Unless you count his no-hitter. :-)

The no-no does count in my book.

Projected Opening Day Lineup...

1. CF: Jordany Valdespin
2. 2B: Daniel Murphy
3. 3B: David Wright
4. 1B: Ike Davis
5. RF: Marlon Byrd
6. LF: Lucas Duda
7. C: John Buck
8. SS: Ruben Tejada
9. SP: Jon Niese

My guess is 71 wins this year. :-)

I thought it would be Valdespin in right and Newenheis in center?

I believe Neuenweis is getting sent down...he's hitting like .089 this spring. I believe they will keep either Baxter or Coghill up for now. Seeing how they just purchased Byrds contract.

All I can say is...............Wow!

Also, saw this little tidbit this morning

Story

Thanks for throwing fire on the fuel Dom. :-)

Oh and for Jason Bay... :-) (5th outfielder??...what a friggin joke...can you say career over)

Mets are still in 1st place...at least for a few more hours!!! :-)

Mets are carrying SIX outfielders on the opening day roster. WTF???

Mike Baxter (minor leaguer)
Marlon Byrd (over the hill veteran)
Collin Cowgill (up n coming???)
Lucas Duda (verdict still out)
Kirk Nieuwenhuis (has not liven up to the hype)
Jordany Valdespin (could be the best of the lot...and he's truly an infielder)

Mets win the season opener against the Padres 11-2. Niese went 6.2 strong innings and the offense went crazy. Cowgill hits a Grand Slam in the 7th. Cowgill, Byrd, Murphy, Tejada, Buck and even Neise all had two hits...13 total for the team. Savoring this!! :-) :-)

What an awesome game! Great for the morale. If only we could play the Padres every game!

HEY! Give 'em credit...They're undefeated, and tied for FIRST PLACE! Let's Go METS!

Mets win another...beating the Padres 8-4. Harvey looked great, going 7 innings, allowing one hit and striking out 10...and Duda hit another BOMB!! :-) :-) Hawkins in the 9th giving up 3 runs was what I expected from another over the hill veteran.

With the Yanks 0-2, and the Mets 2-0, for the first time in my life, I have nothing to say! :-)

And the Mets scoring 19 runs in two games...offense is rolling. Now we get to the back of the rotation...where things will get UGLY.

it's the start of the apocalypse
