@wegner Cuban sandwich in 4 hours. 

You lucky bastard...I'm stuck at work.

On 2nd thought, I just checked the score and maybe you're not so lucky....although I bet you still loved that sandwich.

Ok, Diek. Just do that from now on.

Looks like he has the 7th

Offense is useless now and BTW this is the smallest opening day crowd I recalI

From friends of mine texting me, the other half of the crowd is probably still outside trying to get in.

Fire everyone, lol.

What does that have to do with anything exactly

Only good thing about today....weather is nice, kind of 

Andrus seems to be trying too hard to bloop in hit 2,000 instead of swinging out of his ass

Damn #5 starters.

Kopech seems destined for the bullpen soon. Let him go out there and rip for an inning at max velocity. 

Adding to the most expensive bullpen?

Then what, Martin will bail them out?

You're going to be lucky to get through 2-3 months without Clevinger getting ouchy.

 

It's baseball.  But the NL West Top 3 are so much better than the AL Central Top 3.

I'm not sure what the hell Elvis is doing. The half swings he makes on some of these pitches honestly makes it seem like he can't see them.

Yeah and that's what made him good last year...

Ah, I see we're in the 'well, this one is over, just swing the bat and get it moving on' mode of this one.

Who asked about the NL West?

Mets most expensive team in history.

Kind of doubt their fans are panicking like in Philly.

Then again...East Coast/NE fan expectations and media coverage are a totally different beast.

So dynamic pricing sabotaged a sellout?  Or they weren't going to sell it out period without dramatic upper deck seat discounting?

No, I just think the prices they were asking for with this Opening Day game were a bit steep. I don’t know how often they actually sell out for openers.

Offense stayed in Texas

Balanced schedule.

It's going to knock all the AL Central teams back 3-4 games in the standings.

The East and West are loaded on both sides of the ledger.

 

That said, in recent years we have played the Giants pretty well/tough for the most part.

Maybe we needed our former catcher turned AL Rookie of the Month in April turned sandwich for inspiration?

It’s early. We are only into game 5 and people are acting like the fucking season is over. The Mets aren’t going to get blown out all season just like the White Sox aren’t.

Mets fans also know, if the team shows a glaring weakness, they have the front office to go find a solution.

 

Feel the same way about the Southside of Chicago? What we have, is what we'll have, it has to work.

Kopech is mentally weak. 

I was never a fan of his. Mentally weak is exactly what he is.

Over managing here

Well yeah in case you didn’t know since they been saying he’s looking for hit 2,000 every fucking at bat for the past two-three games.

Did Benetti make it back from Arlington for Nationwide, food promos and Sox Math at least?

Connor McKnight on OD would kind of be fitting with the way the marketing dept. approached this season.

Like someone else mentioned, the worst part of this OD debacle, is the day off tomorrow.

Eh, I think he's trying to figure out which relievers can go 4+ outs. Not a bad thing to use this game for, especially with an off day tomorrow.

wet fart of a game.
