I think this calls for a career change on my part. I'm going to look into making a living smuggling mattresses across the border from Canada.

I agree. If he can play even a little bit, let him play. He's gotta be at least as good as Mike Glavine.

It looks like Ricco isn't saying that Las Vegas won't happen, but that Queens is unlikely. Mike Puma again: David Wright is joining Triple-A Las Vegas, but that could be the end of the line in his latest comeback attempt. The Mets third baseman has not shown a level of consistency in the “quantity or quality” of his play, assistant general manager John Ricco said Tuesday, and appears unlikely to rejoin the club this season. “It’s unrealistic to think he would be activated anytime soon, based on what we have seen to this point,” Ricco said on a conference call with reporters. “But we really have been taking it step by step and giving him every opportunity to get back.” The Mets moved Wright to Las Vegas as part of a prearranged schedule, as the minor league season prepares to conclude in less than a week. Wright’s 20-day minor-league rehab assignment concludes Friday. Wright spent the last two weeks at Single-A St. Lucie, appearing in 10 games. “To be a major league player takes a lot physically,” Ricco said. “So we tried to put in place a program that he could come back and show us he’s ready to be a major league player and so far he hasn’t reached that, whether it’s in terms of the playing time or playing skill. It’s kind of an all-of-the-above at this point.”

Yeah, but if the Phillies want him, the Mets should try to get the most value they can from him, rather than give him away for nothing. I'd hope that they could at least get an Endy Mattress.

Breaking news! TORONTO, Aug. 28, 2018 /CNW/ - Endy announced today that Jose Bautista will join the team as an investor in the company. The former Toronto Blue Jays icon and six-time MLB All-Star pursued an investment in Endy after sleeping on, and falling in love with, the award-winning Endy Mattress while playing in Toronto. Bautista, an athlete, investor, and philanthropist, knew he had to get involved with the company when he learned more about its mission: to help Canadians get a better night's sleep, including those who need it most.

Wow, Murphy's leadoff triple was in the ninth inning. Then David Wright strikes out, and the Cubs intentionally walk both Delgado and Beltran. Ryan Church grounds to second but they get the force at home. And Ramon Castro strikes out. And the Cubs then score three runs in the top of the tenth. The losing pitcher was L. Ayala. I have no memory of who he might have been.

My main memory of Daniel Murphy in 2008 is a tie game against the Cubs at Shea where he led off one of the late innings with a triple, only to get stranded at third. The failure to bring him home stuck with me as the Mets just missed the playoffs for the second straight season.

Lucas Duda?

Butch Huskey?

And Gil Hodges did too.

Bob Aspromonte?

For me, it's Jose Oquendo and Jamie Moyer.

I wonder if they would have more than five participants?
