    I find it hard to disagree with that. Bud Harrelson certainly had a longer association with the Mets, but that doesn't diminish Grote's worthiness.

    It's seeming more and more that this isn't about bringing baseball to the people of London but about bringing American baseball fans to spend money in London. I think if I was there I would ignore the MLB promotional stuff (other than the game, of course) and spend my time exploring the city. Is this your first trip to London, or had you been there before?

    On August 5, 1987, while driving a rented car outside Tempo, Northern Ireland, Broderick crossed into the wrong lane and collided head-on with another car. The driver, Anna Gallagher, 28, and her mother, Margaret Doherty, 63, were both killed instantly. Wow, I didn't know this! I imagine Broderick is throwing out the first pitch because he's a Met Loving Big Shot. Maybe they'll get Bradley Cooper or Tina Fey (Phillies fans) for the other game.

    I forgot him! I knew there was another infielder I was overlooking, but couldn't think of who it was.

    According to MLB.com, Saturday's game is on Fox and Sunday's game is on ESPN.

    The writing does appear to be on the wall. If not Baty, then eventually Acuna or Maurico will force their way into the infield. (Assuming they're as good as we hope they are, natch.)

    Today I got everything except Red Sox 30 steals. My incorrect guess was Ellis Burks.

    The Mets are currently only 3.5 games out of the wild card race, albeit with six teams that they need to jump over. I imagine that if they remain that close, and can pass three or more of those teams, the Mets will modestly "go for it" and not do a big selloff. At least, I would hope so. If there's a reasonable chance to get a toehold in the expanded playoffs, they should do it. In a string of short series, anything is possible. If their June (or their July) can manage to turn out like their April did, their outlook will be quite different. I'm not predicting this, but hoping for it. What else can I do?

    Here's a picture from 1895. It looks like it was more spacious then, but it's hard to tell for sure. I would imagine that the configuration we see in the color photo wouldn't have worked well for baseball, even in the 19th Century. It appears that home plate was in the corner of the ballpark that's in the lower right of Edgy's photo. https://i0.wp.com/staceywest.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Baseball-in-1895.jpg?w=810&ssl=1>

    Very nice!

    I see that the White Sox are currently riding a 13-game losing streak, bringing their winning percentage down to .242. (15 and 47) It always gets my attention when a team drops below .250. I'm not one of those fans who wants the Mets to retain their 1962 record. I'd love to see it broken, preferably by a National League team (so that they lose both the MLB record and the NL record, if such distinctions matter anymore).

    The news of the D-Day commemorations serves as a reminder that today would have been Bud's 80th birthday.

    I only got an eight, because I misidentified Ernie Banks as a Negro League shortstop. But I scored a very low 0.03% on Cleon Jones as a White Sox outfielder.

    There's this, from the Post: https://nypost.com/2024/06/05/sports/jeff-mcneils-break-also-mental-as-absence-from-mets-lineup-may-continue/https://nypost.com/2024/06/05/sports/jeff-mcneils-break-also-mental-as-absence-from-mets-lineup-may-continue/

    No, he did just get here, but that doesn't mean he can't or won't be traded. Just ask Justin Verlander.
  21. Benjamin Grimm
    Well, unlike Scherzer and Verlander last year, by July 31 Pete won't have that much guaranteed money left on his contract.
  22. Benjamin Grimm
    I assume that both Nido and Torrens still have options, and can be returned to Syracuse?
  23. Benjamin Grimm
    I think so too. I mainly posted this because I was surprised at the number of players he listed.
  24. Benjamin Grimm
    Alvarez looks like he was happy to have been a part of it.

    This is from USA Today: Bob Nightengale wrote: The New York Mets could be the epicenter of the trade deadline with a handful of their prized players expected to be dealt. They haven't begun yet, but will soon shop first baseman Pete Alonso, DH J.D. Martinez, starters Luis Severino, Sean Manaea and Jose Quintana, relievers Adam Ottavino, Jake Diekman and Reed Garrett, infielder Jeff McNeil and outfielders Harrison Bader and Starling Marte. My first thought was that I'd be surprised if they traded all eleven of those players. My second thought was that they might actually trade all eleven of those players. Marte and Manaea are both under team control for 2025, so they may be less likely to go. McNeil too, but he seems less unlikely.
