    This was the third 11-8 victory in Mets history. The previous two were historic: • September 2, 1972 at Houston: Mets trail, 8-0; forge largest comeback in club history. • June 30, 2000 vs Atlanta: Mets tie club record with ten-run eighth to overcome 8-1 deficit at Shea, capped by Piazza's three-run laser off Mulholland. Today was also very nice.

    Mets strive to finish out March 3-0 on Sunday afternoon. Wheeler vs. Corbin.

    Swoboda made it look hard, but boy was it worth the effort. Agee, too, come to think of it.

    TC guy is the father of Mark Healey, who you may recognize from Gotham Baseball.

    Little woundlicking on site that day. People don't schlep to a thing like this in the middle of winter to kvetch about what they love. Even in crummier offseasons than this, the buzz veers to "whaddaya think?" more than "woe is us."

    Watching Beltran made me get what was said about DiMaggio. The graceful play in center, that is.

    Fun day at QBC (as always). Anytime you brush by Mr. Met, you're in awe.

    Another recent one in the Parade of covers, in case the organizers in Stockholm didn't see it. https://mobile.twitter.com/TheGarden/status/1018185787412762624/photo/1https://mobile.twitter.com/TheGarden/status/1018185787412762624/photo/1

    Despite his father having been ensconced as one of those special advisors, the Mets released J.J. Franco on Opening Day.

    The Mets carry their three-game March winning streak, going back to March 29, 2018, to March 30, 2019, in Washington, D.C. The last time the Mets played on March 30, Benny Agbayani hit the game-winning grand slam in Tokyo. Mets are 6-3 in March overall, starting with that sweet 14-inning Opening Day victory over the Phillies on March 31, 1998. Noah Syndergaard and his teammates take on Stephen Strasburg and his teammates, 1:05 Saturday. Noah is undefeated in March. And life, it sometimes seems.

    Times special section celebrating 1969 at 50 is a great read. And quite the handsome addition to your baseball library in print.

    Every one of these covers is a real moment in time. Two players at their Mets peak, one having put it all behind him and the team itself inspiring creative directors all over town by its exploits. I went with Jock, probably because the fact that magazine existed and the Mets' success drove it has always fascinated me. 1969 couldn't have been any better for glossy paper stock. The Reds cover forever haunts me. Agreed it belongs here, just as Marv Albert and Art Shamsky belonged at the Big O to broadcast Seaver's first Cincy start on the Saturday that followed the Wednesday Night Massacre. Darryl uncoiling was Fun-Tak'd across from my desk for about five years. It was replaced by Junior beating the MFYs in the 1995 playoffs. The Harvey cover was validation if not a harbinger of things to come beyond August of 2013. I remember thinking, as I occasionally do, "he/they oughta be on the cover of SI," and son of a gun, it happened. I had the same sense with the 1999 infield.

    Brandon Nimmo – LF Pete Alonso – 1B Robinson Canó – 2B Michael Conforto – RF Wilson Ramos – C Jeff McNeil – 3B Amed Rosario – SS Juan Lagares – CF Jacob deGrom - RHP Only two of the above were in last Opening Day's starting lineup.

    It gets a little hodgepodgey midway through, which is probably an improvement on 2017, where after the first four or five it didn't seem to matter. 30. deGrom 29. Wheeler 28. Nimmo 27. Conforto 26. Rosario 25. Syndergaard 24. Cabrera 23. McNeil 22. Lugo 21. Flores 20. Gsellman 19. Matz 18. Familia 17. Blevins 16. Frazier 15. Plawecki 14. Bautista 13. Bruce 12. Mesoraco 11. Reyes 10. Gonzalez 9. Jackson 8. Drew Smith 7. Bashlor 6. Cespedes 5. Lagares 4. Vargas 3. Dom Smith 2. Oswalt 1. Reinheimer
  23. G-Fafif
    Will look to hit ya up with this tonight.
  24. G-Fafif
    Also, Lagares the starter in center, I believe.

    Lucas Duda has returned...to the Royals, making their roster on the heels of a minor league contract. "Damn, how does that work?" asked a presently at liberty Devin Mesoraco.
