My neighbor Vin is a Yankees Insider. He sits inside and watches every game!
I tried this two years ago and ended up a bit to the good, but not a lot due to the juice involved as well as the fact that the Yanks are always overpriced.
Even though it seems like the boys usually lose opening day games, Vin likes them to win today. After all, he's made the trip up to the great white North for the series and is looking forward to seeing some balls flying. New manager, new bats - things are different. Happ, who usually throws well against NY, is on the mound against us, facing Severino, who is now curse-free. (We hope.)
Vin should see a good game if he can drag himself away from the strip clubs.
Also, the Mets always win opening day, says Vin. Long ago they made a deal with Satan that they should always win opening day but more often than not have a terrible season or a promising one with a historic meltdown. Vin says he has this on good authority. Who would make a deal like that I ask? Mets brass isn't too smart Vin says.
So let's see how he does. Hopefully either really well or really badly. But, like last time, probably will be average in the end. (We didn't make it the whole season last time.)
Anyway, as John Fogherty says "We're born again, there's new grass on the field."
Enjoy the games everyone!
