Canó looks disquietingly jaundicy.



Funny how this matchup sorta represents the top and the bottom of the Mets' season.



I went for the first one. Good layering. And I'll even give it points for good coloring, which is hard to do when using orange and red side-by-side.



Also, the "LeMahieu situation," apart from being a good band name, isn't really a thing, so much as an annual winter exercise in trying to drum up drama by speculating on players jumping between the two local teams.



I'm trying to figure out which footer shoutout would be more likely to make somebody grab a paper and start rifling through it: "BUBBA WALLACE OPENS UP" or "GIANTS ASSISTANT FIRED AFTER BLOWUP." I'm going to guess neither story was as explosive as all that.

It took me a minute, and I guessed correctly, who the hell Bubba Wallace was.

Or, maybe, he got hep from juicing intravenously.



Does anybody do that anymore?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

It's pretty obvious to me (without knowing all the facts) that both Yo and Cano are the juiciest juicers who ever juiced

[Edgy MD]

You just made José Canseco sad!

Yo-Pening Day might have been the highlight of the season.

Did you forget Barry Bonds, he of the incredible growing head(among other oversized muscles)?
