Jacob deGrom

Last weekend, on MeTV, I saw the wedding episode of Petticoat Junction. It started with a cute, funny, and touching bit involving the bride winding up with multiple wedding dresses. Notably, I didn't hear an "obey" in the vows. But, then that is old news.

Checking the paper, I see April began with the usual Mets news. Yes. It's injury time! A few players had issues and more than one member of the rotation might start slow. But, all looked pretty well there. April Fools! Update: Ha ha ha.

The assumed Opening Day Starter -- even as late as yesterday maybe -- is now said to perhaps due to be out for into May. Yes, deGrom, who we were assured was okay early last season (stop being a naysayer!) but suddenly had issues and ended his season early, is hurt again! Shocker! Hey, there is another wild card. Second place (or something) here we come!
