I am not that optimistic about the Mets. Pitching looks great at the beginning of the season. Let's see if that holds up. Offense relying only on the long ball of 2 sluggers is not a way to win enough game to win the pennant.

Harvey on 2018 Mets: 'I think we're going to shock a lot of people'
He has obviously never heard of the Scarlet Nation curse.

According to this, Mets is at 81 wins while the Yanks are at 94.5. I might go over if I'm the type.
Well, I've lasted longer than you,I haven't posted on the Evil Empire thread yet, but I'm sure at some point I will. With that said,in advance of stuff I'm sure you will say,

At the risk of sounding like a certain poster on here,bet the over on the Mets, and under on the Yanks, and take it to the bank!!!
My greatest hope is to still have Thor and deGrom fully healthy and at least one of Harvey/MAtz healthy and pitching well as we hit June.
Our lineup...could get interesting. Do our catchers keep hitting? Flores/Nimmo? Can these guys get 400 AB's and play the way they are now? Cespedes -stay healthy(he is crushing the ball now) Can our young SS and old 2B get in a full productive year? Todd and Bruce...can both get 30HR? A lot of questions but so much better then having to rely on Reyes as a full time player(I actually like him a lot as a bench guy)
This could be a very interesting year...I am hoping that both NY teams have a great summer and find their way into the playoffs.
I am really worried about the lineup. So reliant on the HR to score runs. If the pitching holds up and they don't burn out the bullpen by May, they may have a shot at the WC.
More on Lind:
Playing for a 2017 division winner, Lind hit .303 with 14 homers in 59 RBIs in 267 at-bats as a first baseman/left fielder who played in 116 games and started 61. He hit .303 against righties, .310 against lefties and batted .356 in 45 pinch-hit at-bats.
A Washington Nationals staffer added that Lind "was loved, loved, loved by his teammates."
Was his agent asking for too much money? Too many years?
"No," Lind said. "I was just looking for a J-O-B. This is what I got."

Gonzalez was the cheaper option as they are only paying him the league minimum. Lind was a better option at this point in his career but as usual the Wilpons went for the cheaper option.
Really is annoying when you can add a Holland, etc. and maybe like win a ring. '86 was incomparable, but c'mon already.
Had enough with the Molina already. #Retire
7-3 Mets in the 5th. Thor looks good. 7 runs without a HR. Ces 3RBI.
Thor just gives a another HR. Jose Martinez. 7-4 Mets.
Your are correct. Had to take a call and missed a run. Work interfering with Opening Day.
Speaking of numbers, just had a painful flashback to Top 10 / 1986 after seeing Swarzak and his #38 (Aguilera). Of course this was immediately followed by the greatest comeback in the history of sports, so you wear that #38 with pride.
Magic number now 181! Syndergaard with 10Ks. Let’s go Mets
He already proved too much to me.
I know it's been 3 years since the Yankees backdoor the Mets off of WFAN, after 28 years as the franchise that helped put the talk radio station on the map. Have the Mets ever tried to get back on the FM dial,since WOR in plenty of places around Central Jersey get a pretty ****** signal. From Raismann,
"George Steinbrenner let anyone listening know how thrilled he would be to have his Bombers associated with FAN, knowing full well the station was contractually tied to the Mets. When it comes to radio, the Boss proved tampering is cool in baseball.
In 2013, it finally happened. FAN unceremoniously kicked the Mets to the curb and, with great fanfare, announced a new 10-year radio partnership with the Yankees. The Mets landed on WOR, owned by iHeartMedia, and revealed the station’s management did not want the players appearing on other radio outlets, especially WFAN.

Do this about 85 to 95 more times this year and I'll be good lol. Heck I'm not even going to talk about Syndergaard and Cespedes. But if Gonzalez and Plawecki (... PLAWECKI!!!!) can do this in a consistent basis, along with the bullpen, should be a good year.

Nice win for the Metropolitans today. I hope they stay healthy because I think they can be a fun team.
Nice story on Todd Frazier's new family in the NY Mets:
