    I hope they replace each of the retiring umpires with a lord-a-leaping.

    We'll be starting up again on Sunday, January 1, with the third round. Please be sure to go to bed early and get a good night's sleep the night before so you can be properly prepared. On the morning of January 1, please consume no solid foods. You may have coffee or tea with no milk, as well as Jell-O or clear chicken broth.

    It's funny that he thinks that's something to boast about. If I can go another six days, I'll have gone 715 months without being arrested, which will allow me to break Babe Ruth's home run record.

    Conforto will also go down in history as the 1000th Met player.
  8. Benjamin Grimm
    Conforto was Schaefer Mets Player of the Year in 2020. He was the Schaefer Mets Player of the Month four times, and he was the Bench Player of the Month twice. http://leaptoad.com/mets/cards/MichaelConforto1970.jpg> http://leaptoad.com/mets/cards/MichaelConforto1971.jpg> http://leaptoad.com/mets/cards/MichaelConforto1972.jpg> http://leaptoad.com/mets/cards/MichaelConforto1973.jpg>http://leaptoad.com/mets/cards/MichaelConforto1976.jpg> http://leaptoad.com/mets/cards/MichaelConforto1977.jpg> He appeared on two Tabloid Cover Derby champion covers, MIDNIGHT BADNESS in 2018 and STREAKERS! in 2019. http://leaptoad.com/mets/covers/2018/20180603_NYDN_02.jpg> http://leaptoad.com/mets/covers/2019/20190810_NSD_02.jpg> http://leaptoad.com/mets/covers/images/2018/lobby2018.jpg> http://leaptoad.com/mets/covers/images/2019/lobby2019.jpg>

    Jesse Orosco was a PTBNL in the trade that sent Jerry Koosman to the Twins. I have a feeling that for this trade, the player isn't ever going to be named. Unless the Mets find they need a backup third baseman for St. Lucie or something, and then the Orioles will throw them a warm body.

    =nymr83 post_id=115400 time=1671773092 user_id=54] I wonder which team will decide the talent is worth the baggage?
  11. Benjamin Grimm
    It will be interesting, if it ever comes out during our lifetimes, to learn the inside story of why 26 other owners decided to vote to approve his ownership. He's going to help drive an increase in salaries across the game and even though his money can't guarantee World Championships, if the Mets are dominant every year, that's one fewer playoff spot available to each of the other National League teams.

    https://resizing.flixster.com/bDrXzLWhdhgqgONEffgnu3-Q3DI=/300x300/v2/https://flxt.tmsimg.com/assets/p16255_k_h10_aa.jpg> There's actually a cartoon character named "Charlie Strapp". He's the one on the left, with his friend, "Froggy Ball". Maybe the Mets can get a player named "Bola de Rana" to complete the set. (EDIT: I'm not used to seeing cartoon characters with five fingers!)
  14. Benjamin Grimm
    If we want to translate his name to English, it would be "Charlie Strap".

    Well, Correa isn't displacing McNeil, he's displacing Escobar. And McNeil is more established as a star now than he was when Javy Baez came to town. Only time will tell whether or not any of this means anything, but I would like to see Alonso and McNeil stay around well past their eligibility for free agency. As Nimmo has.
  16. Benjamin Grimm
    True. As evidenced by the Phillies lasting longer this year than the Dodgers, Mets, and Braves.
  17. Benjamin Grimm
    Why did he only sign a one-year deal with the Twins? I don't remember what that was about.
  18. Benjamin Grimm
    Correa wore number 1 during his years with the Astros, and number 4 last year with the Twins.
  19. Benjamin Grimm
    "Clogged" from the perspective of Baty, Vientos, and Mauricio, I meant. I hope at least some of them stick around. I'm glad the Mets are loading up, but it's not quite as much fun to root for a team of mercenaries. The 2015 team was especially appealing because so many players had never played for another team: Wright, deGrom, Syndergaard, Harvey, Matz, d'Arnaud, Duda, Murphy, Flores, Tejada, Conforto, Familia, Lagares.
  20. Benjamin Grimm
    This really clogs up the infield for a long time, especially if Alonso and McNeil stick around. So what happens with Baty, Maurico, and Vientos?

    =Marshmallowmilkshake post_id=115197 time=1671571833 user_id=119]The story doesn't say who the Sox might want in return...
  22. Benjamin Grimm
    This will be interesting. Has something like this happened before, where a free agent signing was delayed or overturned by the results of a physical? It seems familiar, but I might be thinking of the trade for Carlos Gomez that the Mets backed out of in 2015.
  23. Benjamin Grimm
    Does that mean that Darin Ruf changed his name to "James McCann"? That will lead to some hilarious misunderstandings next season!
  24. Benjamin Grimm
    That's interesting, but I was wondering if he was related to Harry Potter.
