“I got to meet Odell Beckham Jr. in person. That was pretty cool,” Syndergaard said with a laugh.

No, kid. Beckham got to meet YOU.

I love that he buys into the Thor moniker 100% and enjoys quirky fun. Changing his Twitter background to lightning over LA/Chicago/Kansas City was cool. Proclaming Terry Collins Manager of the year in Asgard.

going around to all the other NY teams and taking pictures in the center of the rink/court/endzone?

Fifteen years, $100 million. DO IT, SANDY.

Eggs Actly!

[Guest cooby classic]

This boy is just so likeable!

I think the first time I saw him being interviewed it was on Mets Hot Stove, after spring training had started. Kevin Burkhardt, I think, was talking to Noah in Port St. Lucie and Noah said that he was planning on shedding some tears when How I Met Your Mother went off the air.

It sounds like he's recovered fairly well.

[Guest 86-Dreamer]

I just wish he was not wearing that horrific black jersey. gotta go orange and blue for the Isles.

If Steven Matz did that lying-down-on-the-ice thing he'd be on the disabled list for eight weeks.

and if Matt Harvey did it he'd be an attention grabbing whore.

[Guest cooby classic]

Yeah, but Harvey IS an attention grabbing whore. That's the difference

Making ice angels in my size fifteen cowboy boots! Woooo dogiee!!

Harvester is destined for the Bronx, Noah wants to be a Met for life!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

He's a twentysomething with a pocket full of Dad jokes and a heart full of cheesy good humor. What's not to like?

[Lefty Specialist]

I'd worry that his hair would get stuck to the ice.

[Edgy MD]

On the Met-for-life front, when was the last time a starting pitcher had a career of meaningful length (even as few as six or seven years) in which he's spent his entire career with one team?

Who was the last Met to do it?

OE: The Giants have no desire to re-sign Lincecum, do they?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Craig Swan would have fit this criteria except for a few innings pitched for the California Angels.

These are the Mets who have appeared in 100 or more games without ever having played for another team. The only prominent starting pitchers are Niese and Gee, and their careers, of course, are still in progress.

Wonder if Moiph will get the chance to go four figures.

[Guest d'Kong76]

bbrdotcom has Feliciano with 484 games

[Edgy MD]

So, according to my measuring, 6-foot-10-inch Eric Hillman is the most prolific career Met starting pitcher, with 36 starts as a Met and no time logged with any other big league teams.

Jon Rauch would ne our tallest reliever.

His Christmas gifts to his entire family? Matching Bartolo Colon tee-shirts.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Not a Van Veen to be seen. Hmmm...

[Gwreck]

She probably took the picture.

[MFS62]

I really like him, as a pitcher and as a person.

Later

Like that wasn't everybody's go-to gift this year!

[Guest cooby classic]

I thought his family would look more Norse god and goddess-like

[Benjamin Grimm]

This is what they really look like:

[Guest cooby classic]

Yeah, like that!
