The Bottom 10

I got his real name. Anybody know what state he lives in?

Cespedes suggesting that he'd like to end his big league career where it began is setting off a social media shit storm.

[Edgy MD]

I'm not particularly concerned about that sort of thing. It was dumb, but he was clearly talking about some distant abstract future.

I guess it makes the list of shitpiles the Mets have stepped in this year, but pretty low.

I want to say New Jersey?

Which is the stupidest controversy I've ever seen. He makes an offhanded comment about liking to play in Oakland before he retires and everyone wrings their hands about how much he must hate being a Met. Hell, this is a guy who signed with them twice when he could have gone anywhere else.

I agree, especially since its not an uncommon sentiment among athletes.

If an ex-Met had said the same thing (Strawberry might be an apt comparison especially since he still thinks of himself as bleeding orange and blue), the tenor would be more "how can we facilitate his return/underscores how dumb it was that he's no longer here" instead of "way to backstab your current organization, teammates, manager and fanbase!"

Yeah, his LinkedIn profile has him in XxXXXXXXX, if anybody wants to pay him a creepy visit on the way to the beach.

He does spend time with his guitar on the boardwalk. Hope and pray he is still with us.

I don't think it's proper to post his township in this thread - it's an invasion of his privacy.

[Edgy MD]

Sorry. Kept his name out, but sure, I'll delete.

[Guest cooby]

I love zvon. If anyone hears from him please let us know but I guess we should let him work out what needs to be worked out

I REALLY can't believe this is actually a matter of note, much less one of concern.

We're in an era where the most sensational early "connect the dots" theories can become "well worn and shared facts" on social media/networks.

And I'm just talking about reasons for Harvey's suspension, which included obvious MSG photos as "photographic proof that he was in Ottawa" for the Ranger game!

Not too mention a fanbase still hurting over defections that seemed short sighted (Murphy, Turner and even Colon based on his popularity).

Not too hard to believe the knee jerk reaction to a FA that commanded big money, twice, would cause a reaction by expressing fondness for hos original franchise and skipper.

That it took this long to mention the dildo says A LOT about this season.

I heard from Z. He sends his regards and hopes to visit soon.

[Guest cooby]

I did as well....such a relief.

Bless his heart
