Players Weekend 2k18, yall

[A Boy Named Seo]

It's back. Mets are going with a two-tone v-neck thing with orange caps. And the names.

deGrom went from the wild and crazy "Jake" last year to "deGrom" this year. Easy, tiger.

Montero is "Montero".

Travis is "LIL d" again. I hope that wasn't his college nickname.

Vargas is "Vargy". Matz is "Matzy". What happened to nicknames like "the Stork"? Where is "the Glider" for this generation?

Oh, lookie here, I see David Wright is on there this year. Players weekend is Aug 24-26, in case you were wondering.

No more EL GORDO for Blevins.

I understand that Reyes's new nickname is 'Pop Out'

Thought it was E-5

Rosario going with "El Nino," which immediately reminded me of this skit.

[Guest d'Kong76]

With several candidates, I wonder who's is penciled in as L. O'Beein?

[Frayed Knot]

Conforto apparently wanted to go with; Yeah I'm a sucker for sliders in the dirt, what of it?, but that was rejected due to limitations of space on the jersey

Did the Mets and Phillies do the "Good game, good game, good game" thing after the game?

Which one of the players' moms was on snack duty?

[Edgy MD]

Yes, they did the team handshakes. When in Rome ...

Look at all the stuff in Bones' pockets.
