What a win! Mets continue the narrative of not giving deGrom runs but Cespedes (?!) and the bullpen were able to secure the W. Opening Day is our day!

Well, how do you like that! The Mets' first home game ever with designated hitters and their player who's in that position homers for the only run. I'll take a win anytime and anyhow, but I'd still rather see pitchers come to bat and try to help themselves out. That is real baseball.

All in all, a good way to start the season after so much waiting.

This is the game where the cardboard cutout of Jeff McNeil's dog was hit by a home run ball. I had to look up "Jeff McNeil cardboard dog hit" to find out which game it was.

One result yielded a video from Major League Baseball's website. The video is 43 seconds long and pretty much describes the 2020 Mets season. In it, the guy hits the home run, the dog gets hit in what looks like the snout, Gary Cohen mentions that the ball went into the "pooch section" and Keith points out that the ball hit the dog on the right, but they don't know if it's McNeil's dog or Conforto's dog. The thumbnail of the video is actually a work of art; it's a split-screen: one side is a freeze frame of that Braves player in his home run trot, and the other side of the screen is Jeff McNeil's dog.

I remember listening to that play happen live on the radio back in 2020. Wayne Randazzo made a big deal about the dog getting hit, and rightfully so. I'm pretty sure he knew it was McNeil's dog right away, and he may have even said its name, "Willow".

Checking the box score of this game, I can safely say that any recap of it would be depressing for the reader (and the writer). No need to go there. HUNTER STRICKLAND PITCHED THE TENTH INNING?!?!!??? Sorry I couldn't help myself.

At least Willow's cardboard cutout got some screen time. Such a cute doggie!

Cespedes plays his final game as a Met five years to the day after his first. Despite having hit a couple of dingers, he looks done. So long Yo!

This game was so horrible, the cardboard faces in the Citi Field stands were walking out of the place as early as the fifth inning!

All right, that was just a joke. But it was bad enough that an infielder had to be brought in to pitch the top of the ninth. Luis Guillorme did the "honors" and retired three straight batters to salvage something out of the Rocky Horror Pitching Show the Mets had all night. The game's only positive fact is that no actual human Met fans were in the ballpark to see it.

This was the third time in four years that a non-member of the Mets pitching staff took the mound for the last inning of a lopsided loss to the Nationals. Both Kevin Plawecki (in 2017) and Jose Reyes (in 2018) had previously served as emergency relievers in blowout defeats at Washington. Plawecki and Reyes combined to give up a total of five homers and ten earned runs to the Nats in those two games. At least Guillorme pitched a perfect frame and didn't make things any worse for the Mets.

There were no fans at the game to see it, but Amed Rosario hit a walk-off home run - at Yankee Stadium - and in the 7th inning. Iconic moment in baseball history. Yankees suck!

Amazing end to this game with Amed Rosario hitting a walkoff homer at an empty, cardbord-cutout filled Yankee Stadium. The Mets were the home team at Yankee Stadium and since it was the second game of a doubleheader, it was a 7-inning game. The ending was stunning and surreal.

As I remember it, Howie Rose wasn't sure the game was over immediately after the home run; his "put it in the books" was somewhat delayed and he admitted his confusion at the moment, which is why I love Howie. It was understandable considering it was the 7th inning.

It was Amed's greatest moment as a Met and probably the highlight of the 2020 Mets season.
