The Mets will play their home opener tonight at Citi Field when R.A. Dickey takes on the Nationals. As if that weren't enough cause for celebration, we've got something extra for you. We have a copy of Billy Joel - Live At Shea Stadium 2CD + DVD set to give away. What's more, the set has been signed by Billy Joel and would make a great keepsake for fans of music, recently demolished buildings, or both.
Here's the fun part. The Joel set will be awarded to the first person to correctly predict tonight's final score—including winning/losing team—in the comments of this thread. A few simple rules:
- Entries should be left as comments on this thread.
- One entry per person. Subsequent entries will be ignored.
- You must include the winning team and the final score.
- Entries must be received (i.e., comment must be left) by 4:00pm EDT.
If nobody manages to guess the final score and winning team we'll just play again tomorrow. SOMEBODY WILL PROPERLY WIN THIS CD + DVD SET.
Billy Joel - Live At Shea Stadium is available in stores and online. You can read more about it at BillyJoel.com.

Mets 125
Nats -1 (thats a negative)
I think it was Bobby V who said: "You are never as good as you are when you are at your best, and you are not as bad as when you are at your worst."
It would be kind of cool
If like 4 errors took away a run.
Mets 3
Nationals 0

If I win I’d like the set auctioned off with proceeds going to Willie Nelson’s defense fund or NAMBLA, whichever will take the money.

BTW, I was in Vegas in August
And the Field of Dreams in the Smith and Wollensky building was closing down. Everything was dirt cheap, which was the one time I wish I had $5,000 laying around. Anyway, I had my eyes set on a Mets plaque that had most signatures of all the major Mets in the championship teams (no Seaver or Piazza, though). It was out of my price range, so I settled on this bad ass Wright-Reyes autographed plaque.
Anyway, I loved this signed Billy Joel plaque with the “An Innocent Man” album cover. Also, out of the price range. I later found out that my girlfriend ran down the strip at 10 in the morning in 109 degree weather to buy me the plaque, and she gave it to me for christmas. That’s when I realized she’s my future wife, haha

You know
the Nats might win this game, and I’m seeing a lot of repeat scores, which are tantamount to throwing away your entry since the first matching entry for the final score will be the winner.
SHHHH!!!
all their redundant votes are belong to me!!

Everyone else picked the Mets to win I think. I pick the Nats to win, but only because Dickey gets taken out after he blows his no hitter in the 8th and the bullpen loses it for him. Zimmermann is a good pitcher too.
I'm banking on the pen to blow it
in the grand fashion they did for Zimmerman’s last start where he only allowed a couple runs. His pen found his successful outting to be unbecoming of what it means to be a true component of the Nationals staff and proceeded to douse his work in ethylene heptahydrate.

I can't particularly stand Joel's latter works that stunk it up after the 80's
(including the obnoxious River of Dreams that everyone seems to love) but man his earlier marquee albums have stood the test of time for good reason.
