A, B, C, D, E, F, and Gee!!!!!!!
Amazing how negative Mets fans can be and the
season hasn’t even started yet. You go and read the articles at
Mets.com, and the comments people post are ridiculous. You’d think it’s
September already and we’re sitting at 70-90 with 2 games to go. This
team has holes, I get it. We haven’t answered our 1B question. Our SS
may not be an area of strength. But can we at least be optimistic for a
few weeks, through April maybe? Is that asking too much? If we can
have some optimism now, when will we have it?
Bet on Black, in Vegas at least. After a weak Spring Training, that’s where Vic Black finds himself. Hopefully, he can “find” himself and return to the parent club. Apparently though, Vic has a short memory. After being sent down, he said he had struggled the past 2 springs before righting himself once the regular season begins. Now I was unable to find any Spring Training stats for him in 2012, but in 2013 his stats were 4 games, 4IP, 2BB, 3K, 2.25 ERA. Not exactly struggling, although based on the limited sample size, I’m guessing he didn’t spend all that much time in the Pirates major league camp before being re-assigned to the minor league camp, where perhaps he did struggle.
Carter Tribute on tap in Montreal. Although the Mets will be playing the Blue Jays this weekend in Montreal, I think it is a great gesture that they will be honoring the Kid before Friday night’s game (I believe). Gary was much beloved up there in Montreal. I don’t know how many of you caught it 2 years ago after he passed away, but the Canadians came out for the pre-game warm-up skate all wearing #8 Carter jerseys. I even like the fact that Gary is in the Hall wearing an Expos hat. As the Nationals pretty much deny the existence of their ancestors, the Expos, it is good to have reminders that they once existed as a franchise.
Davis or Duda? That still remains to be seen.
Exhibition season in Florida wrapped up with today’s game vs. the Nats. 2 more
games in Montreal and come Monday, the games start to count!!!
Frank Viola you are in my thoughts and prayers. With my dad having had bypass surgery a few years back, I know exactly the anxiety you and your family must be facing. Best wishes for a speedy recovery Sweet Music.
Gee, Dillon might not be the sexiest pick as an Opening Day starter, but consider this. Over the last 3 years Gee has pitched to a .564 winning percentage on a team that has had a .463% winning percentage. He must be doing something right. If Spring Training is any indication, he may be poised for a big year, although starting Opening Day means he’ll frequently be going up against other teams’ aces, that may keep his win total down. Let’s hope he can win 15 this year.
