    Hopefully it won't be twelve months. That seems like a worst-case scenario -- which, of course, can't be ruled out -- but most sources seem to be saying six to nine months. Six months would have Conforto ready by early March, nine months by early June. And while missing two months of the season sucks, it's not necessarily the kind of thing that would doom the 2018 season. Given how poorly 2017 has been, I am, of course, skeptical about a full rebound in 2018. But I wouldn't go so far as to say that Conforto's injury is the thing that puts 2018 in jeopardy. It was already there.

    I guess there's extra time to vote for these games, if you're so inclined, because I haven't been motivated to do any Schaefer or Mets stuff.

    Is it worse than this one? I remember you reacted strongly to "GOOD NEWS, BIRD NEWS"

    Last call for all games played through August 13. If you haven't voted yet, and intend to, please try to do so either today or tomorrow. The voting for these games will close on Friday.

    I have to think that Terry is a dead man walking.

    Looks like they scored a run. Are there any other alternatives to Mayday Millone? This season is completely in the handbasket.

    I was 13 years old in 1976, and my family and I were on a driving-cross-country trip. I remember how exciting it was that season to see Dave Kingman's home run total continue to climb. I had visions of him passing Hack Wilson, and maybe even Babe Ruth and Roger Maris. As we traveling, I'd buy a local paper in each city or state we'd stop in, mainly to read the comics and check the Mets box score. But the homers stopped, and Kingman's name stopped appearing in the box scores. I had no idea why. Newspapers in places like Iowa or New Mexico weren't giving the Mets any real coverage at all, and there were, of course, no mobile phones or Internet. It was weeks later that I learned about that broken thumb. I don't know that he would have broken Hack Wilson's record, but it sure would have been fun to watch him try, along with watching to see if Jerry Koosman would win 20 games.

    What if they were eating crackers?

    I suspected he was hurt, only because his history has been that when he's healthy he pitches really well, and when he doesn't it's been because he's been hurt. Of course, we couldn't really come to a firm conclusion based on that kind of evidence because there will inevitably come a time when he'll pitch poorly while healthy. And this recent stretch could have been that.

    I like North By Northwest too. It's much better than To Catch a Thief, which is from the same time period, same director, and same star. Katharine Hepburn was really a great talent. I saw her recently in Mary of Scotland, an early historical piece by John Ford, and her subtle approach was so good; I couldn't help but compare it to how I imagined that many of her contemporaries would have spoken similar lines.

    The New York Post checks in with Peter Alonso. He got off to a slow start in St. Lucie this year, suffered a broken hand, but has come on strong lately and was the Florida State League Player of the Month in July. A top Mets prospect re-emerges in big way after nightmare start
