As much as I love the Phillies, I am not confident in them this year. Tigers on the other hand..

Mets are 3-0 and the Yankees are on the way to getting swept. Mets fans all over New York already talking shit LOL. Wait until June.

What the FUCK Maddon? You take Hellickson out with 1 out left in the 9th inning? ON HIS BIRTHDAY?

Cubs about to blow it again in the late innings. Shit's hilarious. God, why am I a Cubs fan?

At least I root for the Braves too...oh they're 0-3? Sweet. I love it.

I think the Mets will have a better season than most people think. No they're not World Series contenders and they might not even make the playoffs. I do think they have enough talent to get 85-89 wins though.

As for the Yankees, they usually don't bother playing well til late May/early June. I see the Jays and Rays putting up a pretty good fight though.

100 percent. I can see the Mets staying in contention for the wildcard if Bay, Wright, & Santana perform to their abilities. The Yankees will be fine. I'm not worried at all.

Yankees will never be much worse any year to the next as whoever isn't workout out they just buy a replacement for them, the concern for them will always be teams around them getting better.

Being a fan of the Mets, I'm trying to not get too hyped about this little streak because I feel like this always happens. I really started losing hope last year but I'm hoping they can stick around this year.

The one thing I've seen in this opening series is that the Mets finally look like they're comfortable playing in their own ballpark. The fences being moved in helps a lot and will benefit Wright, Duda, Davis, and even Murphy. Jason Bay I've pretty much given up on.

The offense carried the Mets last year. What killed them was their lack of power, awful starting pitching and their closer situation.

Santana will be his normal self but Pelfrey, Niese, and Dickey have to step it up. They also have to avoid the injury bug. A healthy Wright, Murphy and Davis will help them a lot this season.
