Summary
Last week of Spring Training and we are more than ready to get this over with. The team is set, we have our guys, now let's go out and play!!! Spring Training was useful back when the pros were working on boat docks in the offseason, but now we've got finely tuned athletic machines and we want them to get their swings in when it counts. They guys weigh in on the grind of the offseason and how exhausting it is having to wait for Opening Day. Francisco Lindor is mashing at the dish and having a grand old time in the field. He's the level of superstar where he can have all of the fun he wants between the lines because he's that much better than everyone else and it shows. Unfortunately the Mets' front office isn't having that same level of fun off the field because they can't seem to get an extension done. The market is going to be teeming with shortstop talent in 2022, but there's just something about Frankie that fits with this club. Sure we've had talented teams in the past, but to have every spot in the lineup bringing something unique to the table? That's rare. Hell, Jeff McNeil, the hits GOD doesn't even have a slot cemented because there's so many other guys that can work at the top of the order. The only lingering problems for this club are Carlos Carrasco's impact for the year and how the bullpen will hold up. "Joey Fuego" Lucchesi and David Peterson have been penciled into the rotation, but with that comes a weakening of the pen. Dellin Betances is a disaster, we're waiting on Lugo and Familia is a heart attack waiting to happen. We need Diaz to "always be closing," but the bridge to get there will be a treacherous one. KFC and Clem brainstorm making Chris Christie and his FUPA the official "food guy" of Citi Field, we look ahead to the 20th anniversary of 9/11 and the festivities surrounding it and give an update on next week's Gala and Opening Day preview. We've got about 6 days to figure this sh*t out with Lindor and Conforto before we turn the page and focus on the season. If the reports of the money being in the ballpark of $300 million then we gotta believe we get this done. The only question is when?
