Mets season ticket holder since 1998, Nick Schiavo chimes in with this thoughts. The 7 Line Army's 2024 jerseys are in the works, and our members are encouraged to come try them on so they can...

SHEESH. Nothing more to say about this year so far. Justin Verlander is making his Mets debut tonight at Citi Field, and there's almost no buzz around it. That's really bad, and the team should be very concerned. It's been an extremely disappointing start to the 2023 Mets season. We're definitely not trying to hide the truth, but we'll instead be talking about some good news surrounding the team. Tyler Wardy (WardyNYM) from Queens Korner checks in.

The boys are rolling so far on the West Coast in Oakland and LA. Brett Baty is back, and hopefully here to stay. Our friend Jacob Resnick (who you might remember as a Kid Caster on SNY back in the day) now works for the Mets Minor League Operations department. Lindor says he’d let Vogelbach babysit his daughter… which begs the question which Met would you choose to babysit your toddler or NEVER babysit your toddler?
