Fman, please tell us how you really feel. Make no mistake, I do agree.

I'm verklempt

The Florida Marlins swim into Citifield to open the Mets championship 2010 season. What is a Marlin? It is often referred to as a Billfish and is a Blue Spotted Tuna with a snout that can grow up towards 1800 pounds. It is fitting that the lastest attempt to bag the largest Marlin for the Guiness Book of World Records was by Manny Puig of televisions Jackass. Bulletin Board Material: Tim Kurjian on the Marlins this upcoming season; "Never underestimate the Marlins. Despite having the lowest payroll in baseball the last two seasons they won at least 84 games per year. The fish will win 85 games and they wont finish behind the rebuilding Nationals or the aimless Mets. Thank you Tim, now go fuck yourself. In a 100 round simulation of the 2010 season by ESPN the Magazine the Marlins are projected to finish last. Blowfish; Met hating Hanley Ramirez & life hating Menace2Society Cody Ross. The last four comments on the "Hanley Ramirez sucks forum" are. 1. Hanley Ramirez sucks my penis 2. Hanley Blows 3. The2hottestchicksonUstream. I'm not adding the link but they were hotter than anything a Marlin has to offer. 4. As long as he plays ball I dont care who he screws and if he screws you and doesn't call thats your problem. Of Late: Cody Ross has been questionable for opening day but has decided to make himself a target for the Met faithful tomorrow. The Marlins acquired Nate Robertson from the Tigers and have installed him as their #5 starter over Andrew Miller. The Marlins are managed by Fred Gonzalez and the roster shapes up as follows LF Reigning ROY Chris Coughlan CF Prospect and now solid suspect Cameron Maybin SS Hanley Ramirez 3B Jorge Cantdo 2B Dan " I used to be a ballplayer" Uggla RF Cody Ross 1B Desperate Housewives star Gaby Sanchez C John Baker Reserves of note, none SP Josh Johnson, Ricky Nolasco, Chris Volstad, Anibal Sanchez & Nate Robertson. The closer is someone named Leo Nunez and will be setup by Dan Oscar Meyer. The suckitude of the Marlin gives me great kahnfidence that the Mets will take this series and sweep the fish into a nearby toilet. Breakout the harpoons!

Everyone is in first place at the moment

Looks better than any spread the Mets will have tomorrow. Tomorrow starts my 45th year of Metliness. Hoping the pundits are wrong and the Mets get er dun this season. To all going tomorrow..Have a great time!!!

I had the good fortune of having field access at Fenway for the Old Timers Day game in 1989, and spent both games i nthe photo box next to the Sox' dugout... Anyway, Carbo runs out onto the field, and a couple of kids call to him for an autograph. He runs over, asks to borrow a pen with the promise that he'd be right back. He then ran out to Lou Brock, and had him sign a couple of baseballs. On his way back to the dugout, he just flipped the pen back to the kids - no autograph. Douche. I hear ya. Something similar happened to me with Tug McGraw Montreal..I begged him to come over and sign a prograkm finally resorting to "I came all the way from NJ to see you" The response from Tug? "So did I" what a Jackass

It would be nice to have a Rookie-of-the-Year candidate, although it seems as if that outfielder in Atlanta may suck all the oxygen out of the competition. (If he performs as expected, that is.) Jon Niese, your 2010 NL ROY Candidate

I have no idea what Jerry is doing with the SP. Maybe the intent is to set Niese aflutter and make Pelfrey cry. The rotation will likely be a work in progress.

Now SI is picking on Murphy?

4 innings of the Maine. 5 on his first start i'm guessing.

Heyward is certainly the designer pick for ROY in many places. The Rockies are catching some love amongst the prognostigators. If you are a contrarian be very happy the Mets are catching little or no love.

I'm hoping this injury doesn't become Metly contagious.
