Harvey was excellent wasn't he? The staff as a whole has been awesome this opening series. The bats good today, but I still don't trust this lineup. Leadoff hitter strikes out too much and hits like .220, Flores batting in the 9 spot (Larussa has done more stupid stuff to baseball than anyone ever), and Cuddyer--will he last 100 games? That said, they were hitting liners today, and Duda seems legit.
This could be a fun year, and the division may be more open than originally considered.
MJ, as Mets fans, of course we know better, but dag, with this and Mullin...
at least the Jets will remain the Jets?

And that punch in the nuts will come in the form of a crappy bullpen. That scares me the most. I am waiting to hear Meijia to have TJ surgery. No Parnell. No Black. Worries me but hey that comes with being a Mets fan. Always waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Our bats don't impress me at all. Bullpen not great either but not a lot of teams have great pens but the bats worry meHarvey was excellent wasn't he?

I'm just hoping we can get a wildcard because if our pitching stays intact you never know
I'm going to try and make the game next tuesday for the Harvey start. I think this would be the earliest I have been to a mets game in the season in a decade
Harvey was incredible. We got robbed as fans already with Wheeler and Edgin getting Tommy John. We could have seen an awesome young pitcher throwing 4-5 days a week if Wheeler didn't get hurt.
Very good rotation. The the lineup from top to bottom is solid...no guy is a weak link. I think Flores and d'Arnaud really turn the corner this year. d'Arnaud is off to a great start with Plawecki a few months away.
It'll be a fun season....I could live with .500 if nothing happens to my boys Harvey and deGrom.

decent read, but i hate how Grantland LINKSTHIS and THENTHAT to know half of what they are referring to. Since when did an "article" become a choose your own adventure?
Mar, can't say I'm sold on the lineup yet, but it should be better. Grandy has gotten on base a bit, and hit the ball hard, but 1-11 (game against Atl just started near 9pm) ain't going to cut it. Duda, d'Arnaud, Cuddyer, and Wright have hit the ball solid as well. Hopefully it continues to pick up, and I hope Grandy isn't Jay Bell Version 2.0. He's so likeable, would love for him to succeed as a Met.
peace.
Been completely out of the loop since friday. Didn't know the mets lost the 1st 2 but at least they won today.

3-3 on the first 6 away games I'll take. Now we just gotta win some home games and hit better at home
If anyone is at citifield today or watching the game on tv look for the nypd helicopter flyover before the game starts and it's my brother that is flying the lead helicopter in the 3 helicopter formation over citifield
flyover time 12:59pm

That was a pretty cool addition to the game. I was all the way in the upper deck but holy crap did they fly low. It seemed like they were right on top of the score board in centerfield.
there was an awesome picture in todays newsday of the helicopters flying over with the mets on the field. I have to see if somehow I can get that picture and get in blown up and put it in a frame and give it to my brother for his bday or something.. The picture was fantastic
On a side note right after that when they were flying back to floyd bennet field as he was approaching to birds slammed into his helicopter. Ended up being fine although the birds didnt make it but these damn geese are a real problem sometimes with pilots and bird strikes can be pretty serious for planes and helicopters.
