Wright's secret stash of homers is right there with Wagner's secret stash of saves that will suddenly get him in after 10 years on the ballot. Baseball writers seem to let candidacies develop over time, which is why a player has 10 years on the ballot and not just one. But you know that. We understa...

The "No. No........Yes" one is great but weakened by "Joy of Jazz" sticking in there as the insert!

That Staub-for-Lolich trade is still mind-boggling.

I'm struggling to figure out how to post the image. But one of the first things in the feed was a guy posting "Just posted this from the shitter" with a line of blue hearts and a photo of a building with "Fuck Musk" projected on the side. Then a bunch of soccer posts, then the sa...

I just started an account and took a quick look at what was in the feed. Honestly, it looked like more of the same. Just another rplace for people to post snarky and hateful things.

I voted "Other." Joe McDonald was general manager from October 1974 until 1978, possibly the worst era in Mets history. The expansionn era doesn't count. I know he was a longtime team employee serving in every role possible. And he was working with an ownership group that was, at best, ant...

Former Solicitor General Theodore Olson, who argued 65 cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. Olson also argued the Bush campaign’s case before the Supreme Court in Bush v. Gore, which effectively found the 2000 election for George W. Bush when it ruled that the different standards used in a Florida r...

That's insignificant. And, I would have killed to have that same experience! Joe gets to say he was a real New York Met!

I have to go with this, too! I honestly have no recollection of Joe Hudson.

Reading that the Mets declined Phil Maton’s option.

Instead of spending 5/$180 on Cole, that money might better be used on a Corbin Burnes. If Cole does hit the open market, I wouldn’t be opposed to the Mets signing him for a 2 or 3 year deal. Buster Olney on the Baseball Tonight podcast saying that not only did Cole perhaps overplay his hand, but t...

What was expected is nonetheless eye-opening: Gerrit Cole has opted out of his contract and placed the ball in the Yankees’ court.

This is creepy. Both of the women in my house received handwritten postcards. They say "Thank you for being a voter. Who you vote for is private, but whether you vote is public record." Both are signed with just a first name. There is no affiliation listed on the postcards and they are not...

Probably for the same reason that George Lucas keeps tinkering with Star Wars, an endless quest for perfection.

Or not.

Some of those changes were pretty good. Others, not so much. Han shot first!

This is better.

I don’t know. I think the people clutching pearls over a bad joke made by a roast comedian might be a little more snowflakey than people upset over comments made by a sitting president who was clearly not joking.

I like Amazon. I just needed a special filter for my fridge, and the guy at Lowe’s said he didn’t stock it. We looked for the part on Amazon and had it yet next day - and fridge fixed. This was a good thing.

Good calls. Do you think Manaea will be too expensive to keep, or did we get the best of him this year? (fixed typo)

The Juan Soto thread focuses on one player - and one we need to get! But I was thinking about the rest. Sterns did a great job with the one-year contract guys this season, and some increased their value and will expect to be paid well. There are bunch of prospects who might be ready to step up. Who ...

OK, still in this!

Why did Buck play Vogelbach over Vientos?

Bright side is that they are getting guys on base. At some point they’ll start bringing some in.

Big spot for McSquirrel.
