Siddown, Verlander!

[G-Fafif]

Max Scherzer will start Opening Day.

Mets seniority, so this makes sense. Verlander gets the home opener.

[Frayed Knot]

I never suspected otherwise.

I thought they already announced this more than a week ago, that Scherzer would start Opening Day.

Nice work , Greinke with his 7th , he's been around

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, he should probably be in the Hall of Fame as soon as he is eligible. Odd career, but a long and prosperous one.
