The Boys Come Home and Play To the Crowd

Last year, the Mets started in the basement 0 and 5 before they won their first game. By the end of the 2024 season, OMG, they missed the Pennant by one game.

 

They began this season on the road, in Houston, where they won one of the three games, and then, in Miami, where they won two of the three games, including an 11 inning thriller, 6 to 5. So, already this year is starting off better than last at 3 wins and 3 losses.

And now, they go home to play a six-game series starting Friday afternoon at 3 PM against Toronto and Miami. Coming out of the homestead 5 and 1 with an 8 and 4 record would be terrific.

Thus far, Pete Alonso is hitting .286, with two home runs and eight RBI. Juan Soto is hitting .238, with one HR and two RBI, while Brandon Nimmo is hitting .250 with two HR and three RBI. And Francisco Lindor, true to form, has started off slowly, but is expected to have another great year.

The pitching will improve as the season heats up, but there have been several key spots, even in the games they lost.

Of course, it is really early, but the team, as assembled, is expected to win it all. It is what every Mets fan wishes for each season.

So sit back, get ready and cheer the boys of summer on with that familiar cry: Lets Go METS!
