Not for nothing, but Colon has a 9.20 ERA this spring. Maybe he'll sort it out and work his way through another unflappable season, but nothing lasts forever.

His first child was and is Olivia Shea Wright, born July 23, 2016.

The two teams that will meet on Opening Day warm up by matching most of the Braves' regulars against most of the Mets' bench against each other. Plus Tebow, hoping he can do more with Josh Collmenter than his overwhelmed performance against Max Scherzer earlier this week.

9. 1982-83: Best known for what he brought back in trade.

I have this slight, but unsheddable, lingering suspicion that the spinal stenosis was a misdiagnosis of the later-discovered herniated disc. If that's so, then good, on one hand, if he has one problem instead of two. But bad, if he's done (and continues to do?) treatment and rehabilitation to fight the former when the latter is the real problem. And perhaps the latter has been or is being aggravated by the treatment for the former. I'm not a doctor, but yadda, yadda, yadda.

I'm David Wright. You probably know me. I look back on those Schaefer archives and I think, damn, me and baseball were once a pretty hot couple. But I look at my games-played totals of late, and I can only conclude we're drifting apart. Thirty-seven games last year, thirty-eight the year before that. Even three seasons back, when I played 134 games, it was with the worst line of my career. I connect eras at this point. I played with Mike Piazza, after all, and God willing, some time soon, I'll play with Amed Rosario. But it's not my team anymore. Thor and his allies are the story of this team, and I'm a footnote. Now, with Gabriel Ynoa gone, I'm even the last Met to get an EOS thread. I get it. I'm your captain, I'm your captain, though I'm feeling mighty sick. There are many great battles ahead. My place in them is hardly clear. There's another starting thirdbaseman on the team, maybe two, and a lot of coming infielders looking to be a long-term fixture. Meanwhile, I work to make my back workable. Nobody but me will ever wear #5 again on the field for this team. The question, I guess, before us is ... will I?

And that draft pick was ... Anthony Kay ... and his torn UCL. THANKS, WARD MELVILLE!

Reports suggest that it's become official: Rafael Montero has the team made. While camp has been too long a slog to suggest such a move is shocking, it's a pretty impressive reversal of fortune, considering I expected him to get DFA'd, removed from the roster, and possibly released before opening day. Sticking is another matter, of course, but good on him. Gives the Mets a spare starter in the pen, too.

Check out that release. Is Coco throwing a screwball?

Signing on as a spare starting pitcher with the Mets seemed like folly, huh? I mean, I was like 11th in pecking order when I signed. But Verrett is an Oriole, and Ynoa is an Oriole, and Wheels isn't back yet, and Matz is balky, and things are looking up. I mean down! Things are looking DOWN when your teammates get hurt, but ... you know, opportunity! I'm a Long Beach State Dirtbag, so I look to join the illustrious company of Rod Gaspar, Steve Traschel, Carlos Muniz, and Jeremy Reed, to say nothing of fellow potential future Mets such as Jeff McNeil, Austin McGeorge, and Somebody McSomething. Kinda makes you want to treat me with a little more respect, doesn't it? I also played quite a bit for the Toledo Mud Hens. Not a lot of people get to be a Dirtbag and Mud Hen in the same life. I'm a lefthander, which puts me in the bullpen picture too. I've pitched for the Detroit, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay, and Anaheim organizations, including nine games in the bigs, and I've played some in Korea. I threw 9.1 innings over five games this spring, and logged a 1.93 ERA, whiffing seven, while walking two. I've been around, I haven't stuck, but I must've impressed somebody if I'm here, so I don't particularly give a shit if I've impressed you. I take that back. What do you think of me? Dying to know. I need a home!

A little post-game roster action has ended the race for the Mets backup catcher job. Congratulations to Ruben Rivera. Additional news is that the home office in Sweden has given Mets fans permission to be optimistic about Juan Lagares. Lastly, we have a touch of movement on the minor league free agent front. Tyler Herron's efforts on behalf of Israel in the World Baseball Classic got him the attention of GMs. Unfortunately, seeing as how his efforts added up to an 11.57 ERA in 2.1 innings, the only GMs calling were calling from the Méxican League. But hey, makin' money playin' baseball.

Investigate if 65ELLMAN is intentional as well. I've got 65 cranes that says it is.

You still have a Braves game tomorrow, and a game against Army on Thursday that's guaranteed to include a Tebowriffic lineup.

Holy smokes, I just realize 65 works even better for him, calculator-spelling-wise! So much so that it might even be intentional! 65ELLMAN

Also has the double L's going, as in Gse[fimg=20:3i8ukhzl]http://www.beta.mbtn.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/11.gif[/fimg:3i8ukhzl]man.

Curious. 56 seems to have more of a history as a player's number. Even a stylish and sexy player. 56 says "Ándres Torres" to me. 55 says "Frank Howard."

Cards and the Scums are trading two-hit shutouts through three, the big blow for the Mets being a second-inning dubble by Tennessee Neil Walker.

I'm counting 29 healthy major league bodies in camp. At this point, it's less interesting who gets cut and who doesn't, as whose health rallies and whose doesn't: Matz, Wheeler, Gorzelanny, Wright, Lagares, and Nimmo all have a good chance (to varying degrees) to open the season on the DL. The infield is healthy!
