So what clever sub-line are you withholding? Mets v. Royals? Or, (let's get fancy) Metropolitans v. Royals? Maybe Metsies v. Royals? Stop withholding stuff, willya? Personally, I think that what you really withheld was a youtube Ramones video.

If I'm remembering right, when it was new, it was my favorite stadium, at least for a while. That scoreboard in the shape of the Royals logo and the water fountains looked so cool. Of course, I hadn't been there. It was all from seeing it on TV.

"Trades are part of the game!!" says Keith, who was traded at 29 years old, and only reported to his new team, called his agent and asked if he had enough money to retire instead. And then, after his first game or two with his new team, was crying in the shower.

I got myself locked out of my room in a hotel, headed down to the lobby barefoot in my PJ bottoms and tee-shirt to get a replacement key card, and in front of me in the line at the front desk was John Thompson. I rolled my toes under my feet in terror that he would step on them.

Look on the bright side: With the Royals winning the first two games, they've met their goal of winning "the series". They'll surely lose tomorrow's game intentionally because the goal is to win two out of three and they won't win two out of three if they win tomorrow and sweep the series. So the Mets'll win tomorrow. Yay!

Lots of room for improvement, and at positions where offense is traditionally prime. The corner outfield slots. DH. And Brett Baty might one day be an all-star. But there's no delicate way of putting it: right now, he outright sucks. He's dreadful.

That's kind of the problem. If the offense were just plain bad, the solution would be easy - get a new offense. But it's not bad so much as it's a sea of question marks. Does Baty need to develop, or does he just suck? Is Lindor the superstar we need and we thought we were getting, or is he just a pretty good ballplayer getting superstar money? Is Alonso a right handed Babe Ruth, or is he Dave Kingman without the bad attitude and cool stache? Is Vientos?



And, WTF, Jeff McNeil?

In fairness, between trades (Cahna and Pham) and injuries (Nimmo and Marte*), the outfield isn't the outfield. It's mostly a bunch of day laborers who have little bearing on the past or the future.
