BTW, I hope future (annual) inductions take the approach being taken with the upcoming class, with several generations represented at once to both make up for lost time and make it extra special for fans who can connect to different parts of their lives and the franchise's life. “Pick one” is fine as a Metsullectual exercise, but “pick a bunch at a time” is how I hope the NYMHOF committee proceeds.

DeGrom doesn't get the loss. Small (minute) victory.

Defensive indifference needs to be scored No Fucks Given.

I wonder if the last-out World Series celebration will be interrupted by an umpire checking whoever threw the final pitch for substances.

DeGrom tonight evoked Randy Johnson in Game One of the 1999 NLDS vs us. Shockingly hittable — 4 runs in 4 innings, including homers to Fonzie and Oly — then virtually untouchable until the ninth. Showalter stuck with him maybe an inning too long, leaving him in until he loaded the bases, setting the stage for Bobby Chouinard to give up the decisive slam to Fonzie. NFL Films would have framed the Mets as the winners, but Johnson as a champion. I wouldn't have argued, https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/ARI/ARI199910050.shtmlhttps://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/ARI/ARI199910050.shtml Of course deGrom was actually untouchable once he locked in. And no way he was gonna see the 9th tonight.

As far as I know, there is no minimum on seasons played. The fewest of any player inductee is five — Gary Carter and Tommie Agee.

Was perusing the standings this AM, noticed an L1 in the streak column for the MFYs, was confused since I knew they had a large lead before resuming action in the Colbert time slot last night. Maybe their game got suspended or…THEY LOST? SEVEN IN THE NINTH? OH BEAUTIFUL! There was a conga line scene outside Fenway in “Fever Pitch” for such a dramatic turn of events. Though I had no rooting interest then, it brought me back to a long ago January Sunday when I got out of the car with an AFC playoff game hopelessly one-sided at the half; engaged in a family function sans TV; got back in the car with the afternoon's next playoff game underway; and heard the announcer refer to the Bills having defeated the Oilers and assumed he misspoke. No way the Oilers blew a 28-3 halftime lead. But, of course, they did (from up 35-3 to having lost 41-38). BTW, I did not expect to have so much fun just now typing “Oilers,” a much-missed football nickname. Just one more happy byproduct of an epic MFY loss.

I hope David Peterson's right side didn't watch the rest of the game. It would only get more sore.

CORRECTION: That's Almora.

Luis Guillorme about to wreak Schaefer ballot havoc by pitching.

I saw the movie Moneyball last week on cable TV. I'd seen it before. Maybe twice. And last week, the scene that stuck out for me was when an A's player was acting ubpeat and happy in the locker room following an A's loss. The Billy Beane character (Brad Pitt) walks by and has a fit when he sees this. He throws stuff all over the place and browbeats the player. "Is losing fun? No? Then why are you having fun?" And I couldn't relate to Beane. Maybe it's my age. But Beane's reaction made no sense to me. I don't see how one thing neessarily has anything to do with the other. I don't see how listening and grooving to your music means you don't care about the loss. At that moment, Beane's reaction felt idiotic to me. The other night, Conforto (I believe) talked about what a good sign it was that the Mets never get down, that even when they lose, they still have the music on in the clubhouse. Made me wonder if that's a specific reaction to the Billy Beane/Jeremy Giambi scene.

Thomas Szapucki: a pitcher Don Rickles would've loved.

Stephen Tarpley also going in for surgery, per the pitcher's Instagram.

Betances out for season — shoulder surgery.

Mets playing the Braves and MFYs back-to-back as the season's midpoint approaches, sporting a better record than both. Circa 2000 me would have killed for such a scenario.

Wedding ruined by flighty chick who already has the car she says is on sale.
