Opening Day is almost here!

The Rising Apple Report is stoked the season is less than 5 days away, and what better way to conduct the 98th episode than a preview of the first Metsian series against the Nationals of the America's Capitol? With Mike Lecolant hosting, he will welcome the Co-Editor of the Fansided Nats fan site District on Deck, Mr. Ricky Keeler.

The two will preview the series from a pitching and offensive perspective, Ricky's opinion on the Nats' offseason transactions, his prediction for 2015, his opinion about the Mets, plus much much more.

After we say goodbye to Ricky (as he must dash off to his Yanks Go Yard radio show!) Mike will welcome Rising Apple staff writer Ryan Punzalan. They'll discuss the latest Mets news, including the lefty relievers trades and the state of the roster as camp winds down.

And don't forget we'll discuss the '98 Mets!

So, join us at 8pm ET for the latest edition of the Rising Apple Report!
