Re: Bending the Knee and Politics in 2025

this is a decent implementation. good points 1. Onus on player - YOU FEEL IT WAS SO BAD - then appeal it! Not brave enough to appeal it then STFU! 2.

Re: Daily Walkoff

one of the things that's amazed me is how Rey Ordonez has done in some counting stats just by sheer "playing every day" would you ever imagine he'd be in "1999 Top 5 RBI" - well yes he was - now he was 5th on 60 with Piazza, Ventura, Fonzie and Olerud above him but because the ot...

Re: The Pete Alonso Conundrum

He didn't refer to the negotiations as asymmetrical but the contract offer that Alonso's people came back with. If you say their (mets) offer is 69 million over 3 years with no opt outs. (AAV of 23 million) and Alsono's people came back with 35+28+28 (the rumoured value was 91 million from memory) w...

Re: Are we really talking about Alex Bregman?

Call me non-plussed about Bregman. I think if we're not re-signing Pete i'd prefer to go with something like a four-headed Santana/Mauricio/Baty/Vientos 1b/3b/DH monster.

Re: IGT Game #3 Brew @ Mets 3/31 1:40 PM

This was the game we were at.
Result didn’t play ball but it was an entertaining go round. Didn’t know what the catcher interference was at the time it was happening - umpires were clear as mud.. Park was great - such a remove from the old Shea : we did have lovely seats just behind the mets dugout.

Re: Going to A game - Opening few days!

quick thing.
Going to purchase tickets for the Sunday game shortly and the tickets on SeatGeek seem a decent bit cheaper then those on the mets.com - even with their horrendous fees and charges.
Any experiences with any of the re-sellers?

I liked this one - a pleasant smattering of mets including one of my favourite rare ones in Desi Relaford - but wish I'd saved him for the Rockies as I'm sure he'd have done a damn sight better for me then Vinny Castilla!

Jose Reyes got exactly the number of votes he deserved. Glad that Wright gets to stick around another year. I don't think he is a hall of famer but I like talking about him! Beltran was a better player than Andruw Jones, but the trash cans are always going to be a factor. You know else were better ...

Between 1st and 3rd, then whatever's in your price range. Even the Promenade is "close" to the field there. Keep in mind Citi can be incredibly chilly around Easter. Damp and windy. So the ability to get into a club can be important. The Promenade club is difficult to watch a game from. W...
