    I don't think it's unreasonable for a GM to consult with his bosses before major moves, such as committing $300 million to a someone or trading a franchise player. So 100 per cent autonomy is probably too much to ask, but I agree that the Mets should hire someone whose philosophy matches what they're looking for, and give him (or her) the latitude to execute that philosophy.

    A more appropriate title for this thread might be "Who's NOT gonna be the General Manager?" At this point, I think I'm rooting for Ng or Bloom.

The Indians general manager has informed team officials of his intent to remain in Cleveland, according to an industry source, and not pursue the Mets’ opening for a head of baseball operations, replacing Sandy Alderson. https://nypost.com/2018/10/14/another-established-baseball-executive-turns-mets-down/

    Well, Lenny Dykstra isn't eligible this season.

    Marvel's first black hero, T'Challa, was from Africa, and their second (or third?) was a jive-talkin' guy with a chain for a belt. (I think Falcon debuted before Luke Cage, but I'm not sure.) While it was great that Marvel was introducing black characters, it's unfortunate that they were based on how white people view black people. (They're either from Africa or from the ghetto.) I guess it's not too surprising that it started out that way, but fortunately they've moved beyond those initial stereotypes.

    It is making the playoffs, but in the weakest most unsatisfying way.

    It's too bad they enjoyed the first act. If it had sucked, they might have walked out and Booth would have instead assassinated an empty chair.

    I hope that there is that wholesale shift in philosophy with the new GM. I don't honestly think it's going to happen, but I hope it does. The Mets have nine postseason appearances in the last fifty seasons. Eight in the forty-eight years that I've been a fan. The rarity does make each visit to the postseason all the more special, but the hell with that.

    Well, he was 17. I recently learned that that's an age where all boys are sexually assaulting young girls. Josh Hader seems to be Supreme Court material.
  10. Benjamin Grimm
    I imagine that some day he'll be dead.

    I guess I'm not aware of Josh Hader and his homophobic, racist, dickhead tweets.

    I guess I'd go with Brewers-Red Sox, since Astros and Dodgers were both in it last year. Also, for what little it's worth, it would be a battle between the two cities that the Braves abandoned.

    If that's the case then maybe they should hire Chain Boom.
  16. Benjamin Grimm
    Interesting! I also like his name, but I'd like it better if it was "Chain Boom", which is how I first read it.

    I want the Mets to be in on Victor Victor!

    For "international slot money". http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/24950423/miami-marlins-trade-reliever-kyle-barraclough-washington-nationals The deal helps the Marlins in their pursuit of top international free-agent Victor Victor Mesa, a Cuban outfielder who tried out for major league scouts at Marlins Park last week.

    Years in which the Mets failed to win a World Series: 55 Years in which the Yankees failed to win a World Series: 87 It's clear which team has the better history.
  20. Benjamin Grimm
    I hate the Yankees, and root against the Mets' division rivals for pragmatic purposes. I'd rather see Manny Machado stay with the Dodgers than go with the Phillies because there's more of a danger in the Phillies being good than in the Dodgers being good.

    I disagree with the notion that you have to suffer. I don't suffer, and I don't drink beer!

    If you had only voted 158 more times this year, you'd be driving around right now in a shiny gold Cadillac!

    I did a Google search to see when the Cy Young winners will be announced, and it appears that it will be on November 14... at 2 a.m.! The announced time has me skeptical of the announced date. https://www.google.com/search?authuser=0&source=hp&ei=DZG7W4rUL5DL_QaTiYaYBQ&q=when+will+cy+young+be+awarded&oq=when+are+cy+you&gs_l=psy-ab.1.1.0j0i22i30l5.1272.3467..5775...0.0..1.299.2058.5j10j1......0....1..gws-wiz.....0..35i39j0i131j0i20i264j0i67.kJ2ts4SFDYI
