the season is just getting started

Small sample size at 1 games. Not much is separating the good from the bad. A 4-run win last night helps the cause. The catch: 7.0 RA/G this week. Hard to keep the score up with that.

Mets News

The Mets kicked off their season in style, defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates 11-7 at Citi Field, marking yet another successful Opening Day for the franchise. Freddy Peralta stumbled early, but the lineup came alive, racking up 11 hits, including a home run from rookie Carson Benge, who couldn't have asked for a better debut.

With the first game under their belt, the Mets are seeking to build momentum and prove themselves in a competitive NL East.
