=Ceetar post_id=81354 time=1637257935 user_id=102]They didn't drive Syndergaard away, they just were going through the motions and someone swooped in with a good pitch and he took it.

Speaking of LFGM, where the hell is LWFS?

Buffalo biscuits, Sherman's column is spot on imho.

=kcmets post_id=81257 time=1637173628 user_id=53]By more of the story I just meant down the line something may come out why he reneged on his 'tough pill to swallow' speech.

Next thing ya know some *pinhead* will post a Ramones song in one of the three threads and there will be *pandemonium personified*!

My memory is more contemporaneous: his public cry for a QO while saying that "it would be a tough pill to swallow not wearing a Mets jersey next year" and then signing elsewhere for more money without giving the Mets a chance to match or top the new offer. F him. Kinda where I'm at, but I'll stop short at 'F him' just yet. More on the story may come out of the weeds down the road. What's with the f him and more to this story? If it turns out that he influenced the Mets into QO'ing him, he didnt hurt the Mets by doing so. Me personally, I'm gonna guess that Syndergaard wanted out of the Mets organization. He'd been griping about this and that for years, expressing his unhappiness over many issues. Maybe he sees that many of those problem issues still exist even though the Wilpons are gone. Makes sense to me Lotsa things dont seem right with the Mets. The previous owners were so inept that the problems are likely deep-rooted and aren't going away overnight. Maybe I wasn't clear. I was quoting Lefty who typed F Him and then I said I agreed with his post but stop short at the F Him part. By more of the story I just meant down the line something may come out why he reneged on his 'tough pill to swallow' speech. No biggie.

I also voted for 'oh, bleak'... and then created a three way tie. Sorry, comish...

Everyone's below the owner. Always. Moot point, fifteen yards. We don't know what the pecking order will be or what role Alderson will have.

Arctic honeymoon in November, so romantic! I too voted for the squirrel cover even though not a fan of that nickname.

Is Backpack Girl one of our spokesmodels?

Nearly thirty-five years of me-here you-there. Saddened by this. Don't know the details but fuck WFAN/CBS anyways just because.

Fucking terrific song on a great album.

This song popped into my head, so I'm rollin' with it... [media=youtube]3_8j5lGcvKE[/media]

Three-way tie!

That Ringer piece is very well done.

Why did he leave the Nats and baseball? I'm assuming it wasn't because he texted pecker pics or hit on young interns -- so there's that! I was kinda pulling for the Red Sox woman. Guess we'll see...

I don't know, Rats Ridiculous made me chuckle so I gave it a nod.
