There was this young pitcher we gave up in the Leroy Stanton deal for a washed up infielder.

I'm still waiting to find out which is the real deal McNeil.

Disney and MAX are teaming up to offer a bundle ,this is happening, details to come in the next few months, no idea what this means for current subs to both ,if anything I heard a report that Disney reported much lower than expected earnings from Disney +. This may be a move to shore up the bottom ...

It's comforting to know how well I've been able to tune them out.

The Phillie fans haven't been too vocal about their success because they've been too busy eating their young.

The ones who still have beer money.

If he denies it, it is a case of "he said-she said".
But she has described so much detail of the encounter (the room, what he said, what he wore) that she may have turned it into a believable "He said-she saw" case.

That reminds me of what someone (Ben?) wrote in the prediction thread.
(I paraphrase) He predicted no Mets starter would win 10 games this year.
It has become a rarity.

I commented last year that Buck used to sit batters when it looked like they were starting to get hot.
And early this year I posted that I hoped the new manager wouldn't do that.
If a batter is in a groove, keep him in there. It isn't as though this is a lefty- lefty thing.

After I typed that, I realized I should have modified it with something like "Home grown".
I remember stories saying that Mays, Agee and Cleon were from Alabama.

Later

The most famous Mets Alabaman I can think of was Cleon Jones.
And since he was signed before many of the southern schools were integrated, I'll say he went to Alabama A&M.

But the fact that he didn't wear a condom was admissible.

Stormy Daniels testified in the NY court today that she had sexual relations with the Pumpkin Perineum.
He denied having sex with her.
She should have said, "Do you want me to describe his dick?".
That would have convinced the jury.

And U of Alabama was Dave Magadan.

I have to ask, how the funk would you know a guy that had like 20 PA as a Met went to some obscure school in Alabama? Because when the Mets got him, I looked to see if he was related to Don Landrum, who I thought would be a good addition to those early Mets. So I looked him up at the time, and some...

Cedrick Landrum - North Alabama (NOT an oxymoron)
Later

You may have to guess. And also please consider the notion that a player who isn't from Alabama might have ( 🤯 ) gone to school there. Also, I bet you know at least two other Mets as being from Alabama. (off the top of my head) Frank Lary and Willie Mays And Lary went to the U of Alabama at Tuscalo...

What was the date we (and he painfully) found out he didn't wear a cup?
It made quite an, uh, ... impact on the IGT.

Another one with a historical tie - yard goats are the engines that move trains in a depot, and Hartford used to be a big railroad hub. The name was voted on by the locals.

That one has some semblance of a tie to their city. Binghamton is where they used to make carnival carousels, and the name is a tribute to the horses on them.

Seeing a Mets pitcher seems to revive Goldschmidt from any funk he happens to be in at the time.

That's consistent with their record.

Along with the self checkout line, there should be a "Got my shit together" line - no checks or coupons, money or card ready (not in a pocket or purse). The cashier should check they have it in hand before the customer is allowed to place their goods on the belt. Violators should have to m...
