    I was on with customer support again this morning, and they told me there are too many background processes, but wouldn't explain further. They did a few things but I'm not sure how well it will work.
  2. Benjamin Grimm
    I just contacted the hosting company and they tell me the issue has been resolved. (They cleared cache on the server.) I guess we'll see how it goes.
  3. Benjamin Grimm
    Bragging rights. It looks like metirish misunderstood number 19.
  4. Benjamin Grimm
    Fifteen starts, mostly decent.
  5. Benjamin Grimm
    I think that, one way or another, he'll get close to 300 plate appearances. What he'll do with them is anyone's guess.

    1. What will the Mets' record be? 91-71 2. Predict the NL East standings from 1 to 5: Braves Mets Phillies Marlins Nationals 3. Will the Mets make the playoffs (if so, as the division champ or 1st, 2nd, or 3rd WC)? Second Wild Card 4. If so, how far will they go? NLCS 5. Who will be the World Champion? Guardians 6. Number of regular season HRs for Pete Alonso: 33 7. Who will be on the cover of the 2025 winner of the Tabloid Cover Derby? Soto

    This is just one of many similar examples. I can't help but see it as ominous. Of exactly what, I don't know, but "ominous" never means good.

    You did better than I did. I went with the most obvious choice, Pujols.

    It sucks for Jeff, and it's not a great thing for the Mets, but I can't help but think it will present an opportunity for someone with more future than Jeff, and less past, and getting there sooner rather than later may turn out really well. Acuna and Baty and perhaps Mauricio (if he's ready in time) are the most likely beneficiaries of this injury, but it's also possible that someone else may step in.

    Tampa St. Pete is the nation's 17th largest media market, so I can understand why Manfred is reluctant to abandon the area. But for whatever reason (I haven't been paying close enough attention to speculate why) it's not working. I really suspect they'll be playing somewhere else by the end of the decade.

    I can see him pushing Marte aside and becoming the right-handed DH. And maybe pushing Winker aside as well and becoming a full-time DH. I'm pretty sure Marte isn't going to keep the job for the whole season. I'm not even sure he'll still be on the roster by June 1. Somebody is going to replace him, and I think Mauricio may be a leading contender to do that.

    Immaculate Grid has started tracking our stats. Actually, it's been tracking for a long time. You're just not able to see the stats until you create an account, an option that has recently become available. Here's what it has for me: I've completed 226 grids. My average score is 7.9, and my average rarity is a not-so-good 199. I've used 467 players. (I don't know if this counts incorrect guesses.) The players I've used most often are: Willie Mays, 36 times. Darryl Strawberry 27. Dwight Gooden 25. Tom Seaver 25. Steve Carlton 24. Pedro Martinez 24. Mike Piazza 23. Carlos Beltran 21. Nolan Ryan 21. The teams I've done best with are the Mets, Dodgers, Giants, and, strangely, the White Sox. My best categories are Born in the United States, All Star, Played Outfield, Pitched, Played Right Field

    I liked it, but it would have been better without that final twist.

    Looking at that expression on Schmidt's face, I can practically smell marijuana.

    Okay, let's reconstruct this. KC makes a punning reference to Stockard Channing. Frayed Knot replies that Carol Channing could have been referenced instead. MFS62 says, or maybe he could have mentioned Stockard Channing. Edgy says, he did mention Stockard Channing. MFS62: No! I was referring to Stockard Channing, who was in Grease! Stockard Channing and Carol Channing aren't the same person. Ashie: I always wanted to see Stockard's boobs. By the way, I recently learned that Carol Channing was a light-skinned black woman who hid that part of her heritage.

    Frayed Knot wrote: I think Met mgmt probably thinks they caught lightning in a bottle with him... I was about to use that exact phrase in my reply.
  18. Benjamin Grimm
    It's extremely likely that he'll fall short of that.
  19. Benjamin Grimm
    So who's third on the depth chart?
  20. Benjamin Grimm
    25 starts. 12 wins. 3.89.
  21. Benjamin Grimm
    Yeah, unless he gets hurt, Winker is going to be the lefty DH. I'm less sure about Marte from the right side. I see a lot about the Royals wanting to trade for him, but as with many things on the Internet it's hard to say whether that's based on real reporting or on somebody's stray thought gone viral.
  22. Benjamin Grimm
    That seems to be against his nature.
  23. Benjamin Grimm
    I'm choosing to be optimistic. But I won't get any more specific than that.
  24. Benjamin Grimm
    I think somebody is going to displace McNeil at second base before the season is over. My guess is Acuna, but it could very well be Baty. Or Baty could get swapped during the season for a reasonably decent starting pitcher. But I don't think he'll take Vientos' job away, barring injury, natch.
  25. Benjamin Grimm
    It seems unlikely that the White Sox or Royals would move, but who knows? The White Sox may prefer to have Nashville (for example) to themselves instead of sharing Chicago with the Cubs. But Manfred has been saying all along that expansion would have to wait until the Rays and A's have their stadium issues settled. The A's are on their way (it appears) but the Rays are in a messy situation.
