One of the major complaints (I really wish there was a softer word for that, because this isn't that big of an issue) over spring training has been the lack of teams the Mets have been able to play. Since the East Coast of Florida has started to become a baseball ghost town, the Mets have had the option of playing mainly, the Marlins, Cardinals, Nationals and Braves. It makes sense that in the final days of Spring, that teams would want to travel less as well. So on the schedule, the Mets, including today, have played the Marlins Three Times (one that was rained out).
The Mets also open up the season against the Marlins.
Really?
I know this isn't that big of a deal, but hopefully the MLB Scheduling office has been listening to someone in the Mets organization this Spring. The same problem is going to happen with the Mets next season. They are going to mainly play the Marlins, Cardinals, Nationals and Braves in Spring. So next year, maybe we should not open the season against one of those teams.
(I can't restate enough how minuscule of an issue this actually is, I think I'm just tired of knowing the opponents as well as my own team).
