Re: REALLY on the road again....London Stadium

Yeah, soccer stadiums don't really work. Cricket grounds would work better but I think they're in use this time of year. Anyway, we shall see. They're also doing a big MLB hoo-hah in Trafalgar Square featuring Daniel Murphy and Chase Utley (boo). Maybe I'll take a whack at his leg. This seems to be ...

REALLY on the road again....London Stadium

So we're off shortly to Old Blighty. We'll be in Scotland first and then taking a train down to London, sightseeing all the way and winding up in London Stadium on June 8 & 9 to see the Mets play (and hopefully not embarrass themselves in the process) the Philadelphia Phillies. London Stadium is...

Re: Are the Mets Just Bad

Parada's the safety net if Alvarez fails. They're not going to rush him up before he's ready. And if Alvarez thrives, he's the first baseman in a post-Alonso world. Oh, and the Mets are just bad. I'd like to know 'the plan', like we always used to ask of Sandy Alderson back in the day. 'Cuz it's not...

Re: Donald Trump in Hot Water

Yeah, fingers and toes crossed. It seems like the prosecution has put on a solid case and the defense was sub-par. But it only takes one rogue MAGA juror.

My daughter and I are headed to the Grand Canyon in June! We are flying into Phoenix and will see a Diamondbacks game, then will head to the South Rim for two days. I was able to get a room at a lodge within the park. It looks like there are all kinds of tours and activities. I've always wanted to ...

Re: Donald Trump in Hot Water

Defense rests after putting on only two witnesses, one of whom pissed off the judge so much he excused the jurors twice so he could admonish him. And now the jury will be sitting out there in the world for a whole week, including a holiday weekend, with relatives and friends either saying 'you bette...

Diaz says he's fully healthy, with no physical issues. Of course deGrom used to talk like that too right before one of his many IL stints.

I'd expect Lopez if this ineffectiveness persists. He has closing experience at least.

Re: Politics Are Still Loco: 2024

Spare me the pearl-clutching. Trump totally destroyed the notion of 'presidential'. It was a pretty good joke, and it was guaranteed to have Donnie flinging ketchup against the wall. That 'when they go low we go high' stuff died with Hillary's campaign. This will be a dirty campaign, and it's good t...

8.44 ERA. That should improve nicely facing this Mets team.

Something about them being sellers at the deadline. They play the Marlins this weekend which should be a pretty good barometer of how bad the Mets are.

First Trump-Biden debate June 27. Two big wins for Joe- no crowd and they shut off the mic when you're not answering. Those restrictions must annoy Trump, who got outplayed here. Bring your popcorn.
