you're a bad umpire?

spam emails are written terribly on purpose. They don't want you clicking if you're not going to fall for it.

neither of those things make a whole lot of sense.

While obvious the idiots running the country are deeply stupid and bland people, pretty much the only thing they covet is money. (power/money are basically the same thing in America) After a lifetime of watching these people pretty much always win and get richer, I'm banking on stocks, 401ks and tha...

Ichiro still not speaking English in interviews ... which is kind of disappointing in that he reportedly speaks/understands the language much better than he lets on. Will he speak English at his induction ceremony? Sounds like probably not despite his 19 seasons on this side of the Pacific. well, h...

Vlad never played for the Rays.

At no point should the owner "step in". The whole point of having a POBO is to keep the owner from butting in. Just sign the checks and let baseball people do the baseball stuff.

Worth remembering with these things that

A. Rob Manfred Hates Baseball

and

B. This is something he can get sponsorship money for.

It's not technically colluding if it's reported by Jon Heyman via an anonymous source. It's not like these guys are tapping front office phones, they're fed information with a purpose. They have all sorts of language and technicalities to play by. This is why sometimes you here "Team A didn't e...

Are we supposed to be upset that the Mets exceeded our expectations in 2024? Maybe they lied, or more charitably, underplayed their intentions, to Max Scherzer to get him to accept a deal. Max ended up with a World Series ring and the Mets ended up with a top prospect. And went to the 2024 NLCS. I'...

I'm glad we'll make a real good faith effort to sign Soto. And if he chooses to go elsewhere, it won't be for lack of trying. I mean, after all the double talk, and excuses, and the classless belittling of good players, it's like I'm in some sort of weird, but awesome dream. Like we made a good fai...

What do you do when your veteran name-brand closer gets hurt and your team collapses down the stretch? If you are Omar, you try to go out and get two name-brand closers for the next season. I look at a lot of the Mets in first decade or so of the 21st century as putting too much focus on trying to ...

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 s...

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 haven't seen a hateful thing in a while. I popped over to Twitter briefly and, especially in replies, every other t...

It's fine. I was busy during the day.

The holiday was created by FDR so as to curry favor with the first generation of recent immigrant Italians and their native born offspring. There was no nation of Italy in C.C.'s time (he would have identified as Genovese) and, of course, he sailed under a Spanish flag. Nor did he ever set foot on ...

Letting Alonso go is actually an easy decision if. they invest and have a good plan for the future. They have good player dev and fix Alvarez, etc. His power is pretty nearly irreplaceable, and it plays in a pitcher's park. Pete's been doing this for a long time, Vientos doesn't even have a full sea...

I like Mendoza now than I did earlier in the season. Early in the season, he seemed like a wimp who didn't know what he was doing. I like that he lets his starters decide what they want and stay in every once in a while, instead of doing what the analytics tards would want and have them be pulled a...

I don't know why the guy doesn't just take a victory lap and say "I was right about Biden, thank you all for vindicating me, I will now suspend my campaign" lol, just saw this. Biden withdrew because political strategists ran some scenarios and panicked. Of course, cognition only applies ...

remains true. A few bullpen arms and Jesse Winker probably didn't push the playoff chances much.

I expect that both sides know this.

The Mets have a significant advantage in the second tie-breaker

If it has nothing to do with him why does it have a weird fixation on Greenland?
