Wiping tears here not going to lie. Hope this year is capped with a ring.
Now #Retire8 for Gary Carter and Yogi Berra.
And Willie was a Giant. Honestly, what did he do with the Mets? At least Yogi took a Mets team who had no business being in the World Series to Game 7 as the manager.
You should have heard Cleon Jones comments on Willie and his time with the Mets a short time ago. You'd have your answer.
I wouldn't have retired Willie's number either. However, my input was not requested.
Anyway back to the present. LFGM. And hopefully Jordan Montgomery will continue to be the shutdown pitcher he's been since leaving the Yankees.
Cohen understands and respects the history of the organization. This was a promise by a previous owner and fulfilled by Cohen. I see Cohen turning the Mets into something like St. Louis Cardinals, and once you put that uniform on, you're a Cardinal for life. Make your history come alive and remind younger and newer fans what it is to be a part of the Met family (players & fans).
At least Arenado is back tonight. The baby was born in St Louis so even though he went on leave he didn't travel away from the team.
Kind of breaks the Braves are getting. 2 out Goldschmidt on 1st. Running on contact of course and Arenado hits a gap double. Unfortunately it takes one hop over the wall, Goldschmidt can't score and the next batter K's to end the inning.
FTB
Hard come backer that looked like SS had it for easy DP. Montgomery knocked it down for no outs ….next batter
DB Darnaud 3 R HR

How often do pitchers do that? Far more often then they make an outstanding snag. Cards just got 2 back on HR. 4-2 Braves.
Didn't realize the Braves had tacked on a run to make it 5-2. Anyway Arenado hit one over the wall with Goldy on this time. 5-4 Braves.
Can some validate the story of Steve Cohen taking members of the '69 Mets to Cooperstown for Gil Hodges' induction to the HOF? That's a cool move by an owner who gets it. Former players are going to be seen a lot more around Citi Field. Fans will be able to connect with Mets' history.
That’s what Ron Swoboda said during an interview prior to the old timers game.
Would love for just one of these games against the Rockies to be of the breathe easy variety. The two that we've pitched very well the scoreboard didn't have a lot of crooked numbers put up. Last night we hit and the pitching was so-so. Of course the wins are most important but IJs.
Who would you pick as the most despised person in Mets history? Can be a player, coach or front office type. My top 5:
1. M. Donald Grant
2. The Wilpons
3. Bobby Bonilla
4. Richie Hebner
5. Dave Kingman

The first two on your list are locks.
I would not include Kingman. He was quite popular in his first Met tenure. Less so in the second.
Some possible replacements that come to mind are Vince Coleman, Luis Castillo, and today's honoree Doug Sisk.
I only included Kingman because he was such an A-Hole to the fans and press.
