Well, the boys of Summer are back and since the season kicks off tomorrow, I thought I'd make a thread to kick things off.
I love opening day in MLB especially this year because it's the only time I'll get to say the Mets are tied for 1st place (Phillies pitching staff is just scary).
With Santana being out until late June/early July, the Mets pitching staff is going to have to carry the load especially Mike Pelfrey. Beltran is back from missing 2/3 of the season last year but who knows how is knee will hold up. Jason Bay is being reevaluated and might start the season on the DL.
So basically there's a ton of questions for the Mets this season and that's not even counting the off field issues with ownership and the whole Bernie Madoff scandal.
Honestly, I'll just be happy if the Mets are in contention come August.
Regardless, lets look forward to another great season.
My World Series pick is Boston vs Philadelphia. Daring I know
