Good morning!
I got home at 10:40 last night and I remembered, oh yeah Soccer is growing the sport by having the USMNT play at 10:30, I will put it on. So I put it on and hey were still playing the anthems. That game kicked off around 11pm, I think, because I had fallen asleep on the couch. At some point the TV woke me up and I think it was 6-0? Is that possible? I could check but that makes for less fun blogging.
Anyway on to the Mets!
#TheNarrative which you will all follow is that D’Arnaud is the worst and the Mets are going to lose 130 games unless someone can genetically sample Mike Piazza’s DNA and add in some better defense. We are doomed! I am not linking.
….so Rivera will catch Noah on Opening Day. That’s it. You don’t need to spend two bucks on a newspaper (has no idea how much a newspaper costs, haven’t bought one this decade) to read what is one sentence worth of news. A pitcher and catcher working better together than a pitcher and a different catcher work together is a thing that has been in baseball for a century. We don’t need Mike Lupica writing 5000 words on it. Not linking.
I’m also not linking to the article someone wrote about Terry not having decided on the lineup. Seriously? Have you watched Terry Collins baseball? Has he started the same 8 in the same places two days in a row ever? Not linking.
People are still losing their minds that I said I might not go to Opening Day. Here, listen to the podcast where I talked about that more with Jason. I have been to all but two since before you were born son (like all but two since 1983) so don’t come calling me on my Mets Bonafides because you have a t-shirt. How come Jason doesn’t has to go Opening Day and nobody yells at him? Anyway, good podcast this week. The Opening Day stuff is at 47:40
So when are the Mets trying Jose Reyes in CF?
TV/Radio
Today: someone named R.A. Dickey pitches for the Braves at 1pm but you’ll have to watch Braves coverage on MLB.TV or listen to Braves coverage on the MLB app.
Tomorrow: Harvey Day is on TV! WPIX. I have a soccer game.
And that’s all I have for you because MLB Advanced Media is so advanced they don’t have this info for Monday on the desktop, and my phone is installing a new iOS for some reason so I can’t access the app.
Come back Adam Rubin!
