    "DAMN" sounds like "DAN". (Maybe they should have gone with DAMNIEL MURPHY instead?)

    I like the idea of a darker grey on the road uniforms, but the lettering should be a lighter shade so that it stands out more.

    I agree that the deGrom page is much better. And as for the captions, I'll take a reference to Bogart and Bergman over Fleetwood Mac nine days per week.

    Can he core a apple?

    I think that if the Mets sign Zobrist, he'll get starts at second and third, Herrera will get starts at second, Flores will get starts at shortstop and second, and Tejada will get starts at shortstop. The proportions, of course, will be determined by a variety of factors.
  6. Benjamin Grimm
    There are 324 starts to be made between second and third base. If Zobrist makes 150 of them (let's say) that still leaves 174 starts to be split between Wright and Herrera. How that split would go remains to be seen, but I can see Herrera getting 50 or 60 starts. Or a lot more than that if things go badly with Wright. I guess my point is, the signing of Zobrist wouldn't necessarily mean that Herrera gets buried, even if Wright is mostly healthy.

    Marc Carig, Newsday wrote: Versatile switch-hitter Ben Zobrist may have plenty of suitors. But the Mets are making it clear that they will be among the most aggressive. The Mets have not drawn any limit as far as a potential contract length for Zobrist, according to sources familiar with the negotiations. So, if he requires a four-year deal, the Mets are ready to offer it. Offering a fourth year represents a departure for the Mets under general manager Sandy Alderson. But with Zobrist, the willingness to offer one could to be a deciding factor in where he signs.

The Post�s Mike Puma confirmed the team�s brass met with the free-agent utility man all day Wednesday and expect an answer soon. The visit included a tour of potential living spots in Westchester and Connecticut and a dinner with general manager Sandy Alderson and COO Jeff Wilpon, according to reports. No word on whether or not, during the dinner, Jeff spoke "street Spanish."

    . Poll 1.4.1 is the third first-round contest to end in a tie. Like our first tiebreaker, it's a battle between two covers from the same publication, and, as in that earlier poll, it features Steven Matz vs. Jacob deGrom. This tiebreaker poll will run for three days. Please vote for the cover you like best.

    This is the final poll of Round One, and the final poll where we'll have the option of voting for multiple covers. We've now seen all of the 2015 covers for this contest. Round Two will start tomorrow with the winners of Group One. From this point forward, all polls will allow for the choice of one of two covers.

    . Vote for the tabloid covers that you like the best. You may select up to three choices. Voting will run for seven days. The Mets lose Game Four of the World Series on an error by Daniel Murphy. The Royals rally to win Game Five to win the World Series. Speculation turns to the future: Will Daniel Murphy return? Will the Mets trade any of their starting pitchers? Terry Collins gets a two-year deal to return as Mets manager. As Collins' new deal is announced, Sandy Alderson faints.

    Mets Hot Stove yesterday reported that the Mets, Nationals, Dodgers, and Giants were in on Zobrist, and the Royals were out. They didn't clearly state that the four teams listed are the only remaining contenders, but they may have been implying that. It's hard to say. Either way, this is expected to be resolved within a week. I'm not sure how I'm rooting, but I think I'm slightly leaning towards hoping the Mets get him. It would give a big boost to the 2016 team. My main concerns are the possible effect on Dilson Herrera and, to a lesser extent, the impact on the 2019 payroll. (I'll be more concerned about that in 2019!)

    It's been 15 years since the Mets have had a player named "Jim": the mostly forgotten Jim Mann who pitched briefly for the Mets in 2000. But this has not been the longest streak without a Jim. The Mets were completely Jimless for the entire decade of the 1980s, with no Jims between Jim Dwyer (1976) and Jim Lindeman (1994). Mets Named Jim Jim Beauchamp (1972, 1973) Jim Bethke (1965) Jim Dwyer (1976) Jim Fregosi (1972, 1973) Jim Gosger (1969, 1973, 1974) Jim Hickman (1962 - 1966) Jim Lindeman (1994) Jim Mann (2000) Jim Marshall (1962) Jim McAndrew (1968 - 1973) Jim Tatum (1998)

    I didn't think there was anyone on Earth named "Jim Henderson" who was under the age of 70.

    Players are tested during the season for PEDs, right? Would that test detect recreational drugs as well?

    This poll, which closes tomorrow morning, is still tied. Just sayin'...

    This tiebreaker poll has ended, and the Girl in the Golden Dress will advance to the second round.

    . Vote for the tabloid covers that you like the best. You may select up to three choices. Voting will run for seven days. Jacob deGrom and the Mets suffer another loss in Game Two in Kansas City, prompting Mr. Met to seek professional counseling. The Mets look to Noah Syndergaard to come up big to keep the Mets from falling behind three games to none. Syndergaard comes through, with the help of David Wright.

    He'll cost a draft pick. I'm not sure how much that will matter to the Mets.
