  1. All-Time Opening Day Starts 1) Tom Seaver: 16 T2) Steve Carlton: 14 T2) Randy Johnson: 14 T2) Walter Johnson: 14 T2) Jack Morris: 14 T6) Roger Clemens: 13 T6) Robin Roberts: 13 T8) Grover Cleveland Alexander: 12 T8) Bert Blyleven: 12 T8) Justin Verlander: 12 T11) Félix Hernández: 11 T11) CC Sabathia: 11 T11) Fergie Jenkins: 11 T11) Dennis Martinez: 11 Obviously, Verlander must be stopped. He somehow started opening day this year and it's his only appearance on the season. He's welcome to join that crowd at #2, but thus far and no further.
  2. It's a shame that Gselly is getting bopped here in the second inning. He seems to be pitching with confidence, but he gets everybody to 3-2 and then leaves one over the plate.
  3. Welcome to the Mets Robinson Chirinos!! 1105
  4. Welcome to the Mets Robinson Chirinos!! (Um, what number Met is Robinson Chirinos?)
  5. We are the knights who say knee. https://metsrostercentral.files.wordpress.com/2020/09/screen-shot-2020-09-03-at-4.22.38-pm.png>
  6. By the way, the banner at the top of the forum was altered early this morning. If it looks the same, please empty your caches.
  7. Too bad nobody's there to enjoy. Half-mast flags too. https://metsrostercentral.files.wordpress.com/2020/09/screen-shot-2020-09-03-at-4.15.57-pm.png>
  8. They've reprogrammed the display on the CitiField scoreboard to match the layout from Seaver's era.
  9. It's funny, because I only really "remember" Seaver in his twilight years -- appearing as a "super veteran" in the 1983 Topps series, winning 300 with the White Sox, not pitching in the 1986 Series -- and it wasn't until much later that I really came to appreciate what "The Franchise" was really all about. Ironically - I was looking through a box of cards for something else the other night, and came across a 1968 Topps Seaver that I didn't even know I had. In retrospect, that was a little creepy. It's a seawolf sighting! I know. With him and dino j revisiting, it's quite the wake.
  10. Affiliation is bullshit, and I hope that this means the expansion of independence, just like I hope the foreshortening of the draft means the ultimate end of it. There are a lot of things we can stand to rethink as we re-open.
  11. Well, it takes zero time if you're playing offense and thinking ahead, especially if you're at home.
  12. This is nice, of course, but are there any reports on whether the team has yet been able to cobble together uniform alterations in tribute? https://twitter.com/SNYtv/status/1301583613889335300https://twitter.com/SNYtv/status/1301583613889335300 I'd rip off the whole left sleeve and replace it with a black one.
  13. Um ... Tommie Agee.
  14. Seaver got the save in a 15-inning win for the National League that day, one of only two saves in his career.
  15. I assume Willie Mays and Ricky Henderson aren't really eligible, because we're looking for most greatness as a Met. I go with Wright, with deGrom closing fast. Leave the door open for Tim Tebow, though.

  17. Has anybody who has been by CitiShea checked to see if the pedestal or foundation or such of the statue is in place?
  18. Elio Chacón, the father of all Mets Venezuelan infielders, has preceded them into the hereafter.
  19. Seaver pitched into extra innings 23 times, for a total of 27 innings. He had a 1.67 ERA.
  20. The Daily News went with Tom Seaver, the greatest Met of all time, dies at 75. There are very few times a subjective term like "greatest" works as an objective journalistic statement. "Tom Seaver Was the Greatest Met." It's an assertion that transcends opinion and encroaches mercilessly upon the realm of fact.
  21. " ... from complications from Lyme disease, dementia and COVID-19." Good God. Can we fuck anything else up?
  22. The Orioles bringing in Evan Phillips. I wonder if he has ever pitched to Phillip Evans.
  23. OOOOH! It's Castro warming up!
  24. Rojas aiming for Wilson and Diaz to finish?
