It's March once again. But did it ever leave? I know, I'm tired of that joke already, too.
In all seriousness, we're back to playing baseball. Monday marked the first game of Spring Training for the Mets and today will be the first televised on SNY. Let's go!
This was one of the wildest offseasons in franchise history – and that's saying a lot. Think about it this way: Steve Cohen officially bought the team in November. Doesn't that feel like a lifetime ago? Well, that's because it kind of wise.
From Steve Cohen to the first televised game of spring, let’s look back on everything that went down during a wild Mets offseason...
Now we're back to arguing these damn black jerseys on Twitter
Pillar, Walker and Villar are brought in to add great depth pieces
Turk Wendell sent Walker a sweet No. 99 care package
deGrom showed up to camp turning heads already
Pete wants black jerseys back and now so do I
Uncle Stevie is back on Twitter, Mets baseball is back and we're going back to the World Series
Sit back and enjoy today's action. Fingers crossed to a full, uninterrupted season with us back at Citi Field sooner rather than later. Uncle Stevie is looking for a World Series in 3-5 years. Let's hope that comes sooner rather than later, too.
P.S.: The first televised game of spring marks hot dog Opening Day. That's just a fact.
If you haven't hit a tailgate this season, you have one last chance! Come close out 2023 on Sunday October 1st at Citi Field. Kick the day off with us in the Marina Lot as we put a bow on this season.
Tailgate with us on Saturday September 16th at Citi Field! Kick the night off with us in the Marina Lot! The Mets take on the Reds at 7:10pm so we expect fans to start showing up around 3pm. If you can't swing that early, just get there when ya get there.
The Mets stink. Let's drink! Responsibly of course. The stage is set for our first trip to Minnesota on September 9th 2023! We're rolling with 700 DIE-HARD METS FANS to this one.
