Re: You Always Remember Your First Time

I went with Ichiro. CC Sabathia is the only other one on the list that I gave serious consideration.

It is the Hall of Fame, it is supposed to represent greatness and sustained excellence. I personally feel the HOF has been watered down by the inclusion of too many good, but not great players.

Re: The More or Less of Whatnot Thread 2024

It likely won't be safe to go back for a few years. Stupid, obnoxious, and in your face entitlement is the norm in America now.

You are confusing this with the election threads. The country just elected a mass fraud.

Re: Let's talk about Max Fried

I think Fried should definitely be on the Mets list of potential staring pitchers to add to the rotation.

Re: In World Series Thread - 2024

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the Yankees essentially aid and abet the Dodgers rally by repeatedly booting the ball and making poor decisions. You can't give your opponent 6 outs in an inning without it biting you in the ass. It was glorious to watch.

Re: And now a word from Mark Vientos

I'm glad that Vientos is young, talented, and wants to be a Met. However, for all the sentiment expressed, it is money that ultimately determines what uniform(s) players wear. I believe that close to half of the players on Mets roster are free agents now. For all the "I Love the Mets", &qu...

Re: 2024 Presidential Election - Take II

The big orange idiot held a rally in our town yesterday. Scary to see people I know that are very well educated, highly successful, and pillars of the community posting about how wonderful he was and what an honor it was to hear him speak. I will never understand it.

Re: In World Series Thread - 2024

That is the most blatant example of fan interference that I can recall ever seeing. It was excessive and was a prolonged efort to interfere with Betts. Here should already be in the parking lot for his embarrassing lack of sportsmanship and fair play. If the Yankees did not remove him, then the leag...

Re: Gleyber

Contrast Gleyber Torres's lack of effort with the ass busting hustle of Brandon Nimmo. Brandon hustles (on routine and tough plays) more than most MLB players, while Torres is the second coming of Manny Machado, but with far less talent and accomplishment. I don't even want a slacker like Torres' on...

Re: In World Series Thread - 2024

I am not surprised that Ohtani will be back in the line up. Once I heard the diagnosis of a partial seperation of the shoulder, I expected he would be able to continue as the Dodgers DH. I don't expect the injury to affect his swing. Lucky for Ohtani and the Dodgers the injury was not to his throwin...

Well, I'm not overly interested in this series. I do however, hope that the Dogers win in 4 (or 5) games so they can celebrate their vitory in Yankee Stadium III in front of the Yankees and their misguided fans.
