Who was the last player to appear in the Mets opening day starting lineup, who missed the entire previous season to injury?

How about 2 years? Is that a big enough grace period, Jason?

[TransMonk]

Where did this cool burst logo come from?

[Edgy MD]

From all that is good and beautiful and truthful.

Moiphy last year. Unless guys who spent time in the minors don't count.

[batmagadanleadoff]

I'll accept Murphy. For extra credit, identify Murphy's next DL prompting injury.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Something the Mets are better at than any other team.

[MFS62]

I'm so excited that I could be a Pointer Sister.

Later

[Edgy MD]

Terry Collins says Johan will get between 85 and 95 pitches today.

Edgy DC says, "Stop making me sad, Terry!"

It's important to start out at a high point, so the fall can more easily kill you.

[ashie62]

Oh Boy this is gonna be great!

[Fman99]

Yay baseball!

The medical staff gets a shout out at Opening Day? I'd boo these schlubs if I was there.

[nymr83]

They just introduced everyone who isn't starting today, Dickey got by far the loudest applause

Kiner will read the lineup

Excited for baseball!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Working but will catch the first innings on radio during a long lunch outside.

LGM, YGB yyybbb

[Edgy MD]

"I'm very, very happy to be here. At my age, I'm happy to be anywhere!"

Stealing George Burns' material.

[Fman99]

I'm as excited as a little girl!

[A Boy Named Seo]

Looks like a free Extra Innings preview is happening for those w/out SNY.

[metirish]

Need some top notch IGTing today as the wankers at work have blocked all avenues for watching or listening to the game, and blocked Newsday's IGT thing too....fucks sake like.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Why is my Extra Innings feed in Spanish? Dios mio!

Reports have Ray Ramirez getting the only (mild) booing. With all the negativity this offseason, it's pretty cool to get through the opening day introductions without some minor pissup. I thought for certain Bay or Pelfrey would end up being a lightning rod.

[Edgy MD]

Watching a highlight reel of Carter. Rare shot of a non-mustachioed Keith Hernandez joining him on the mound with congratulations for Gooden.

Get the AtBat App for your phone. It costs $, but at least you can listen to the Gay Dames this season.

[Benjamin Grimm]

At least the commercials are in English.

[Edgy MD]

Keith, catching the opening pitch from one of Kid's kids, looks to have shed some fat this offseason.

[Edgy MD]

One out. Santana looks wired. Breathe man.

[Benjamin Grimm]

�Soy la �nica de ver el juego en espa�ol?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Tal vez Gary Cohen ten�a alg�n tipo de lesi�n en la cabeza y no darse cuenta de que est� hablando en espa�ol.

read that first as Santana looks weird.
