  1. As they say in the home office, Gunnar tar inte skit från någon.
  2. My guess is that at some point De Aza gets dealt for someone who's more of a 1B-OF.
  3. Now the people in Ontario will have all the fun.
  4. The room on the left is the conference room. It also used to double as the Loser's Lounge, where people who were eliminated from the song parody contest could enjoy all the shrimp they could eat. I don't know who has the penthouse offices. Every time I stop by, Maja never lets me past the front desk.

  6. Here, by the way, is how the Post and Newsday covered the "YES-PEDES" game: Newsday's YES, CES! didn't get any votes in poll 1.3.7, but the Post's SWEEP TIGHT, NATS finished in a three-way tie for second place, with 5 votes. YES-PEDES won that first-round poll with 10 votes.
  7. Thanks everyone! I'm glad that a bunch of us seemed to enjoy this. Thanks are also due to the 2015 New York Mets, if they hadn't had such a great season I never would have thought to do this. I already have about 20 covers for the 2016 competition, should it come to pass. And I agree that David Wright should have dressed for the occasion. The other three people there certainly did. Look at Ingrid Bergman: She's dressed as Anastasia. Imagine if she instead had dressed as Maria from For Whom the Bell Tolls?
  8. Voting has closed for the final thread of the 2015 Tabloid Cover Derby, and the Daily News' YES-PEDES gained a narrow 11-10 victory over CON4TO!, also from the Daily News. 2015 CHAMPION COVER YES-PEDES New York Daily News, September 10, 2015 The winner was announced at 1 p.m. local time in Stockholm, Sweden, where the champion cover was unveiled in a ceremony attended by David Wright of the Mets; the most recent United States ambassador to Sweden, Mark Brzezinski; the King of Sweden, Carl XVI Gustaf; and the ghost of Swedish actress Ingrid Bergman. As promised, the cover is on display in the lobby of the Kran Pool Forum Internationella Huvudkontoret, the CPF's International Headquarters, in Sweden's capital. Behind the desk is our lovely receptionist Maja. As the featured player on the winning cover, Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes will receive a 1971 Ford Pinto!
  9. Be careful that you don't break the Internet.
  10. Nick Carardo of the Boston Glove reporting that the Mets are still interested in Tyler Clippard: Full article You'll have to scroll down a bit to get to the paragraph on Clippard, which doesn't say much, other than "The Mets may still bring back Clippard." This is about as lukewarm as a rumor can be.
  11. 30 Jacob deGrom 29 Matt Harvey 28 Curtis Granderson 27 Daniel Murphy 26 Yoenis Céspedes 25 Lucas Duda 24 Bartolo Colon 23 Jeurys Familia 22 Noah Syndergaard 21 Wilmer Flores 20 Juan Lagares 19 Travis d'Arnaud 18 Michael Conforto 17 Jon Niese 16 Ruben Tejada 15 Michael Cuddyer 14 David Wright 13 Hansel Robles 12 Addison Reed 11 Steven Matz 10 Sean Gilmartin 9 Juan Uribe 8 Kelly Johnson 7 Kevin Plawecki 6 Erik Goeddel 5 Tyler Clippard 4 Logan Verrett 3 Carlos Torres 2 Kirk Nieuwenhuis 1 Eric Campbell
  12. I look at that and think that four Tom Seavers would have made a hell of a starting rotation.
  13. Poll runs till Tue Feb 02, 2016 6:33 am

  15. Mets fans everywhere will fall in love with Jeff Wilpon.
  16. In that photo it looks like he's doing a Ben Carson impression.
  17. I wonder, does he rank ahead of or behind Johnny Monell on the catching depth chart?
  18. Or John McGraw.
  19. I'd like it more if that World Championship came at some other team's expense.

  21. I hope he likes Las Vegas, because barring injury to d'Arnaud or Plawecki, he'll spend the much of the season there.
  22. Three lefties in a row. Against right-handed pitchers, anyway.
