OPENING DAY FOR THE METS

Opening Day baby!  Father and son, peanuts, green grass, memories...

OR.....ice storms, freezing cold, a plastic pancho, a wet ass and complications in the lineup!  Yep, the Mets announced complications in the lineup and they plan on announcing SAID complications at 9:45am.  I'd update you but I don't care because this team is a mess every year.  I feel bad for you Met fans.

Fun Mets facts:

Ethan referred to Curtis Granderson as: "Gunderson."  Sounds like a character from Sesame Street.

The game time temp is projected to be 49 degrees.

Zack Wheeler lobbied to be the Opening Day starter because it was important to him and the team rewarded him for that initiative by saying: "no" and naming Dillon Gee the Opening Day starter.

NYC Mayor Bill Diblasio is throwing out the first pitch...he's a Red Sox fan.

Matt Harvey insists on returning from Tommy John Surgery this year when the team doctors say he should wait till next year.....this should be good.

Sandy Alderson and Terry Collins have projected 90 wins this season.  Good luck.

Ike Davis starts at 1st base today..FUN

The Mets offer free concerts after games to keep people coming to the ballpark.  I saw Third Eye Blind last year after watching the Mets lose 9-2 to the Tigers.

The last time I rooted for the Mets was 1997.  I went to Montreal with a friend to get drunk for the weekend and we bought tickets to the Mets v. Expos for 6 dollars a peice and were 2 of 3,000 people in the building to watch the Mets lose 6-2.  I didn't care...I was drunk and then we took the French/Canadian version of the Subway back to our awful hotel.  On the way we met a French/Canadian girl who was reading: "Othello."  She invited us to a German/French/Canadian dance club, the music and drinks were awful.  We made out.  Her, my friend and I got drunk and went back to our crappy hotel and took turns throwing up Molson XXX and went to sleep.
