  2. Last night Pete Alonso tied a Mets record that I was unaware of. Most RBI in a season against a single opposing team: MLB.com wrote: The 22 RBIs are not only the most by any player against a single opponent across the Majors this season, but they're also tied for the most by any Mets player against one opponent. Piazza had 22 against the Phillies in 2002 and Richie Hebner had 22 against the Cardinals in 1979. Richie Hebner! Who would have thought?
  3. Colorado entered the Union on August 1, 1876 as the nation's 38th state. https://designshop-6aa0.kxcdn.com/photos/send-vintage-greeting-card-online-colorado-16531_51.jpg>

  5. https://designshop-6aa0.kxcdn.com/photos/usa-north-dakota-vintage-greeting-card-online-16560_29.jpg> North Dakota, the 39th state, gained statehood the same day as its neighbor to the south. This is from Wikipedia: North Dakota was admitted to the Union on November 2, 1889, along with neighboring South Dakota, as the 39th and 40th states. President Benjamin Harrison shuffled the statehood papers before signing them so that no one could tell which became a state first; consequently, the two states are officially numbered in alphabetical order.

  7. That is weird. I wonder what would happen if you voted in French?

  9. The fourth puzzle has been posted. http://leaptoad.com/mets/puzzles.phphttp://leaptoad.com/mets/puzzles.php
  10. Baseball Reference has the Phillies' elimination number (for the division title) at 35, but it's really 34 as the Mets have clinched the season series against them. I'm a little surprised that BBRef isn't accounting for that. I also wonder why they don't include all teams in the Wild Card standings.

  12. https://designshop-6aa0.kxcdn.com/photos/usa-south-dakota-large-letter-postcard-online-16567_79.jpg> The Magic Number bypasses Montana and stops in South Dakota, hopefully for a brief stay. South Dakota was the 40th state, entering the Union on November 2, 1889.
  13. Should it be "male British monarch" instead?
  14. There's now a third puzzle. http://leaptoad.com/mets/puzzles.phphttp://leaptoad.com/mets/puzzles.php
  15. I actually enjoyed the first one, in whatever year that was, a lot more than I expected. By the time the second one came around, I was completely disinterested. And have remained so.
  16. No, remember last year the game that Stroman started and only threw seven pitches, and it was resumed about four months later?
  17. Since Alonso, I guess?
  18. So, what will his Atlanta walkup music be? This would be my pick. (Advance to the spot about one minute in.) [media=youtube]N7yAe2MBIpE[/media]

  21. Yeah, I had to use the zoom option in my browser for the larger puzzle.
  22. Both puzzles are available on this page: http://leaptoad.com/mets/puzzles.phphttp://leaptoad.com/mets/puzzles.php For the second puzzle (dated August 16) I was able to have some of the clues relate to the Mets.
  23. Remember, the roster only expands by two this year, not the 15 that it used to be. I'm not so sure that Alvarez will be one of the two, especially given the numbers he currently has at Syracuse. I would guess Vientos or Baty and a pitcher.
  24. It would have worked on paper, it's just harder to correct mistakes.
  25. Okay, I changed it. Thanks for pointing it out.
