BASEBALL BUFFOONS BLOW IT BIG TIME

What is the context of crying Mr. Met? I don't remember what made them buffoons that week.



This is a lackluster bunch. I only really like Bartolo swinging the bat (I voted for that one and the old school Mr. Met and that's it)

[Lefty Specialist]

This is a tough batch. No action shots (except Bartolo) and relentlessly bad news.

[kcmets]

Went with Blast, Change and Buffoons.



Someone start an Election Day 2022 thread I'll go with it there as well.

[G-Fafif]

Three days in, much of the subject matter of these back pages, for better or worse…



Max Scherzer is a Met, paid a king's ransom for being so

Buck Showalter is the Met manager

Gil Hodges is elected to the Hall of Fame

The DH is coming to the National League

Old Timers Day is returning

Matt Harvey is involved in a drug scandal

Spring Training is locked out



…feels like a novel with scattershot Met references weaved throughout. If I were reading such a book maybe three years ago, I'd think, “That wouldn't happen in real life.”

It was a breakdown in the collective bargaining talks and it was looking like there might not be baseball for a long time.

Blast from the past. Mr Mets rules
