3 Jog Night, Stro' And Behold and Gonna Fly Now...

[G-Fafif]

3 JOG NIGHT both celebrates and throw shade at Cano. Perfect tabloid form.



STAYING POWER is incredibly clever for what it concisely communicates about Wheeler and the Mets' contender status.



GONNA FLY NOW is so goofy as to be irresistible.



I don't understand the crossing out of MAGNIFICENT and replacing it with AMAZIN'. Like only one adjective can ever be applied to anything the Mets do?



LIKE A SURGIN' just went on the IL having strained itself.



A comma is missing from the deck above STRO' AND BEHOLD (“It's the Mets, not the MFYs, who make deal...”).



WIL' puns are the province of Wilmer Flores. Sorry, Wilson Ramos.

Do you guys not have sroehmann bread in NY? Stro-man would have worked if you do



Anyway three jog night for me!

[G-Fafif]

In my beverage magazine editing days, I was pretty proud of STROH AND BEHOLD as a cover line.

[Guest 41Forever]

Lots to love this week!!



3 JOG NIGHT



STAYING POWER



and STRO AND BEHOLD -- but I'm bothered by the grammatical issue in the deck.

GONNA FLY NOW is so goofy as to be irresistible.

More silliness - my BoSawx friend said this year re: Vargie, "that pitcher on your

team that looks like Jimmy Superfly Snuka."
