IGT 4/15 Bassitt hound hunting Snakes Opener 2022

A terrific weather day for the home opener I am certain the fans will impress the hell out of the new members of the team. A note to opponents, the Mets are at home now. Plunkings will not be tolerated.

Happy to be working from home today which will allow me to watch the statue dedication as well as the ballgame while I work. LGM

Very much oy. [tweet]https://twitter.com/timbhealey/status/1514966006560702468[/tweet] MLB network just reported on this. They showed Marte taking BP and said the Mets roster may look very different today. I'm guessing Marte CF Marte 2B Marte DH Marte 1B Marte SS Marte 3B Marte RF Marte C Marte LF I think breaking up Marte and Marte with Marte in the 6/7/8 holes is kinda genius

We were feeling so good and now this. Last season, WSH couldn't keep it in their pants and 3 games were postponed but the Mets will have to play short-handed today (are they still keeping a taxi squad? I saw that Nick Plummer was in SYR last night). I wish that Steve gave each player $50,000 "to their favorite charity" to take the shot. Maybe that would have gotten Lugo (?) in line.

Based on the crowd's reaction, it could be a long summer for Joely Rodriguez. The SNY Director thinks that we'd rather watch fans cheering than some of the players who are being introduced.

Cool to see Sarah Seaver interviewed, and everybody behind her looks a little like Tom in a different way.

"Those Clemson pussies can't handle our cocks" Or so claims Gamecock fans in their disparagement of Clemson Tiger supporters. Former poster 'Jersey Shore' was a U South Carolina grad who wrote that way back when. My bevy of Clemson relatives might have other ideas on the subject.

Johnny Lunchbucket Apr 15 2022 07:33 PM Homeopener Split

All in all a pretty good home opener, no? Between the weather, the ceremony, the results etc. Ranks up there with the home opener in whatever year that was when it was like 80 degrees and we won, I walked all the way home. That was Shea in, I wanna say 2002 maybe

Edgy MD Apr 15 2022 09:06 PM Re: IGT 4/15 Bassitt hound hunting Snakes Opener 2022

Good weather, a ceremony that didn't get messed up, multiple new guys being productive in their new digs, disappointing acquisitions from previous seasons being productive in their quest for a new start. And unless I missed it, nobody ruined it by spinning "Piano Man."

Lundy Apr 15 2022 09:35 PM Re: IGT 4/15 Bassitt hound hunting Snakes Opener 2022

I am de-lurking to report on the lovely day we had at Citi Field. Got there right around 10am and started to tailgate. Didn't attend the Seaver statue ceremony but got an up-close view of it as we walked into the stadium. Got there early enough to get a Jackie Robinson t-shirt, but as it was size L, there was no way I was going to fit into it, so it's going to my son to wear. It really was a picture-perfect day, not a cloud in the sky. Our seats were right next to the foul pole in right field and we were in the sun all day. Nice to see the new LED screens in action. Definitely noticed the upgrade. Surprised to see Butch Huskey emerge from the wall in center field between innings mid-game. Fans in right field were in love with Starling Marte, and Marte showed the love back to the fans. Definitely a love-fest. It was for the most part a well-pitched game, with plenty of timely hits and impressive bombs to boot. You can't ask for much more.
