Good morning Mets fans. I’m back from the bagel store where someone was sad because they didn’t have Asiago. Einstein’s Bagels is in Chicago bro. Also some a**hole had his landscapers come at 8:30 this morning. WTF are you mowing guys? It’s 32 minutes later and they are still going.
Just asked Junior one last time about Opening Day and he said no, so I guess I’m out. I will miss my first Citi Field opener. Someone else who will miss first Citi Field opener is David Wright, and that starts today’s Morning Laziness – articles about David Wright not being in the OD lineup since 2004. I actually find it shocking the other way that he hasn’t missed one, especially in recent years. Anyway, what else is there to read other than the headline. Be lazy.
Another article suggests Wright might not be back until he end of April which is a weird way to spell twenty seventeen.
One Newspaper Guy is trying to turn Mets-Nats into a rivalry. Here’s how this works in Queens – the Mets are rivals with whoever is in their way. That’s it. Ask the Cardinals, Cubs. Pirates and Braves.
Today you also get Dopey Prediction Articles. This is not football where you can kind of sort of figure out the Patriots will beat the Browns in week 1 and kind of sort of project 10 wins and maybe you’re off by 1 or 2. This is baseball, so telling me “96 Wins” is just silly. So my predictions are:
Mets win 124 Games
MVP: Wilmer Flores
Cy Young: Robert Gsellman
Astros beat Mets in 5 game World Series.
A computer has predicted the Mets will win the World Series. And your season of MLB The Show probably has Matt winning 34 games and the Mets going 155-7.
Oh yeah, Seth Lugo is going to the DL! but hey he’ll always have the 2017 World Baseball Classic Runners Up cap to remember how he blew a shot at being in the rotation,
And that’s it – another off-season killed off. Time to pretend any of us care about whatever ESPN puts on today because at least it’s baseball.
