BELIEVE. 95-67, going all the way. 92 wins, all the way! 88-74, right in the wild card hunt. My guess, too, but making the wild card, then the World Series. Winning in seven games, the winning run coming in on a Stanton error. Later Orange and blue-colored glasses? Maybe. 92 wins. Win division. Win NLDS over Cubs; defeat Dodgers in NLCS; defeat MFYs in World Series. All of these!!! Especially the last one. To be a fairytale season to me, we'd also have to have a tiebreaker for the division with the Phils where something amazin' happens that goes down in Mets history. An unbelievable fielding play, a fantastic display of hitting, a no-no,....whatever. Here ya go d'Kong: [fimg=300]https://elanaspantry.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/brownies-5751.jpg[/fimg]

Yikes, this was a really tough one. Especially for a season opener. I had to refresh myself as to my old formula, it's been so long for me (my last was April '17 IIRC). So many deserve some suds.

Thinking as a Mets fan does, my expectation is that he will make it easier not to be upset when they release Reyes some time after the ASB. So I expect great things from him.

I thought the 2001 YB would look better live as opposed to the image here, but it looks pretty much the same. The composition of the 2001 YB is good, a nice balance of images, but.....yea, those black jerseys, BOOOOO! If there was a variety of jersey types, or if they were all in the home pinstripes, this would have gotten my vote. It's a good collage that captures the 2000 season well. The Stearns cover is a sentimental favorite. First time I saw that one I was all "WOW! COOL!". They got the best logo known to man and the universe right there, nice and big. Splitting the year around the logo was a nice touch and creates a good balance, as do the words surrounding it. Not a collage like 2001, but a great action shot. Shea's stands looking their decrepit late 70's best. '78 FTW! Is this gonna be a shut-out? I've yet to vote/see. OE: Not quite.

I should have had Rusty's helmet pop up over the upper border as he ran (on "round-tripper"), like how you can see the ball come down on the "great catch" GifCard™. Even this great opening day win couldn't cheer me up. Well,.....lil' bit.

Jon's book MBTN tells me Rusty had his best Mets season wearing 10! I did not realize that. Cabby with the hustle! Niiiiiice!

And as I hit send the boys say Fammy is up in the pen.

Twitter seems so fast I can't even keep up with "liking" stuff.

Thor done for today. Put this in the books: Noah Syndergaard becomes the first pitcher in Mets history with at least 10 strikeouts and 0 walks on Opening Day.

I'm so rusty at all this stuff like the IGT and Twitter (which I only do during Mets games). You have to be quick and I'm moving sooooo slow. Next season I'm gonna have to conduct my own IGT/twitter spring training and ramp up to the season. PLAW DOUBLES DOWN THE LINE! Thor up with two in scoring position.

heyYO!!!! Wow, great hitting by Ces. 3-2 Mets!
