Because she tends to run away from the ball?

Because they don't manufacture glass cleats?

This isn't particularly surprising. Abbey Mastracco,NJ.com wrote: No one has more hope for a David Wright return than David Wright himself, but that return seems further away by the day. According to Mets' assistant general manager John Rico, Wright once again has been shut down from his throwing program and his only work is with team physical therapists in New York. It's unclear when Wright, who is on the 60-day disabled list with cervical disc herniation, will be able to start throwing again. But it's not likely to be soon. That makes it unlikely that he'll return to the team before the 60-game mark, meaning the Mets will recoup 75 percent of contract while he is unable to play, based on the insurance policy the club purchased in 2015. The team has been able to recoup a significant amount of his salary the past two seasons because he has played only 36 and 37 games, respectively.

Cast your vote! It's a total coincidence that this graphic's turn came up for a game where the Mets lost to the Diamondbacks. Honest!

The Mets do have a history of firing two-time postseason managers shortly after they've managed their 1,000th game.

The good news, such as it is, is that the Mets have plenty of time to turn this around. It doesn't seem at all likely that they'll do that, but there's that old axiom about how you're never as bad as you look while you're losing. I expect that there are better days ahead this season, but I also doubt that the wins to come will be enough to propel them into the post-season.

I just hope this doesn't lead to Jose getting a superhero nickname of his own.

I know what you mean. I'm kinda glad for the late start because it means I'll be less tempted to tune in.

That is a little strange, isn't it? In fact, Cespedes was Player of the Year in 2016 but didn't win any of that year's POTM awards. These are the Players of the Month in the eight months that Cespedes has been a Met: [list:1nc30x00]August 2015 Curtis Granderson September 2015 Yoenis Cespedes April 2016 Michael Conforto May 2016 Noah Syndergaard June 2016 Jacob deGrom July 2016 Wilmer Flores August 2016 Neil Walker September 2016 Curtis Granderson April 2017 Jay Bruce [/list:u:1nc30x00]

I'm surprised that any of you were actually watching.

I thought it was fun, but nothing special. Which is pretty much what I thought of the first one.

It feels like a window is closing.
