Re: Donald Trump in Hot Water

If I had a time machine, I would go back to the Constitutional Convention and tell James Madison about Donald Trump. (And about Sandy Hook too.)

Re: Detachable Mets (Waived, DFA’d, Released) 2024

You're right; he's probably quite detachable. He'll probably go to Syracuse when Alvarez returns.

Hero today, gone tomorrow.

Luis Torrens is 28. He's been in AAA (Scranton/Wilkes-Barre) all season, .279/.339/.469.

He's appeared in 269 big league games since 2017, with the Padres, Mariners, and Cubs.

Re: Baty and Scott to Syracuse

Scott is a little bit of a surprise. (And so is Baty, for that matter.)

Is Butto coming back?

Re: A tiresome thread

I found that out when my son got a flat tire in the California desert a few years ago, and found that his rental car didn't have a spare tire. He had to sit in the desert night for over two hours until AAA was able to get to him.

Yes, it does. But I think he's defending his reporting, not the Mets' actions. People are probably misreading his story and thinking the release was about semantics.

I don't sense that he's defending the move. I think he's just trying to clarify the story, which is his job.

Re: Memories of Jorge Lopez

I imagine the larger issue is with the things he said, rather than him giving a free souvenir to some confused fan.

Re: GET YOUR METS MELTDOWN BINGO CARD!

That's great!

Let's just hope nobody gets a chance to yell BINGO this year. (Although any of these things would increase the number of Tabloid Cover Derby entries, which may be historically low this year.)

Re: IGT 5/29/2024: LAD@NYM — Hip New Pitcher

I suppose being forced out at second base can look a lot like a home run.

Re: Are the Mets Just Bad

Yeah, Pete Alonso has had me recalling Dave Kingman more and more lately. I don't think he's going to get the contract that he wants during his free agency. I'm really not sure what the Mets should do about him. I'd like to see him stay, but I'd also like to see him be a better player. If he's not, ...
