00:00I thought the way the Mets won yesterday was incredible.
00:04And I think the fact that Peralta, who I love, who I think is going to be a candidate for
00:08Cy Young
00:09and was the move of the offseason for the Mets and a great offseason,
00:12the fact that he gave up a couple runs early and the Mets found a way to win and chase
00:15Paul Skeens,
00:16I thought that was unreal.
00:17I thought the fact that you saw Bench hit a home run in his first game,
00:21what a prospect, what a stroke, what a, just a jolt of energy for the amazing Mets fans,
00:28I think that's great.
00:29My guy Marcus Simeon, the fact that he puts the bat on the ball,
00:32he's a terrific defensive second baseman.
00:35He's tough, he's clutch, he's a leader.
00:37He's exactly what that clubhouse needed.
00:39He's won a World Series before.
00:40He's been such a consistent, dominant performer in baseball for a long time.
00:44The fact that he had an excellent opening day, that matters.
00:48Juan Soto off to a great start, that matters.
00:52And the fact that the Mets won a game in the fashion that they did,
00:56that to me is telling.
00:59Historically, the Mets would find a way to embarrass themselves, slip on the old banana peel.
01:04I could not get enough of what that game meant.
01:08Big picture for the Mets.
01:09I'm going to say this consistently.
01:11Last year, I did not pick the Mets to the playoffs.
01:15Mets fans just killed me.
01:17I was right.
01:18I think David Stearns did a hell of a job in the offseason.
01:22This team is better.
01:23They're more buttoned up.
01:25They're more focused.
01:26And the fact that they were able to chase Paul Skeens yesterday,
01:30and he didn't get out of the first, and the Mets were able to win,
01:32and Citi Field's going nuts,
01:34I thought that, if you're a Mets fan, was a pretty awesome harbinger of things to come.
