Rain quite possible Monday night, but when has that ever stopped the Mets from playing a third of an inning?

David Peterson for the Mets.

For the Phillies, we turn to Carnac the Magnificent.

PHI defeated ATL tonight but had to use 5 pitchers so they'll be too tired to put up much of a fight against the potent Mets offense.

A complete game shutout will fix their problem.

Now this is a perfect April day at Citifield. Damp, cloudy, cool, windy. They won't need covid limits on attendance tonight because Citi will be the least comfortable place on earth to sit outside

And it's going to be Neato's first start, isn't it?

Disappointing, I'm an hour north and the rain here all day has been minimal.

You'd think they'd at least try to squeeze in eight or ten pitches.

Part of a straight double-header?



That wording is going to offend some fans like this one:

DePaoli stated via email: “Our organization's position on inclusion has always been very clear and we have been leaders in the LGBTQ community and proud to promote diversity at all of our games.”

DePaoli continued: “We strive to make sure that everyone is welcomed and celebrated at Citi Field as New York is the most diverse and inclusive city in the world.”

I don't want to make more out of blind links, but I will say that that essayist has a long windup.

Also, with all of these jury-rigged doubleheaders going down, I'm rooting for Jacob deGrom to pull a Walter Johnson, pitching a complete game in the top half of a doubeheader and coming out and starting the bottom.

Yes, this sucks, but we're still off to a much quicker start than last year.
