    Tim Bogar makes the cover of not one, but two Mets programs. That's two more than Mets Cy Young award winner R.A. Dickey. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48942340168_65c6458788_c.jpg> https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48942890006_446ba3f0ff_c.jpg> A copy of the later program was unearthed during the demolition of Shea in the vicinity of the home dugout, like an artifact of ancient times.

    Mike Shelton gets a second interview, joining Rojas, Girardi, Perez, Beltran and Bogar.

    I was so grateful to have baseball back in 1995, coming off the surprisingly resilient 1994 Mets' partial season, that it never occurred to me to hold the strike against the sport. If anything, I stepped up my Mets fandom vis-a-vis other sports (for example, wanting the Knicks postseason to go away ASAP because it was sucking up too much media oxygen and bumping too many Mets games from WFAN to WEVD). I took advantage of various makegood ticket deals and enjoyed immensely what felt like a second-half rebirth of the franchise. In retrospect, 1995 was a trailer for 1997, which is essentially the beginning of my contemporary fandom. I am a little sketchy on some details from 1974, probably because we took a family trip out west.

    Rico Brogna shoutout elevates the production.

    Astros https://www.si.com/mlb/2019/10/22/houston-astros-roberto-osuna-suspensionfront office douchery from ALCS celebration emerges on WS eve. And in the center of the room, assistant general manager Brandon Taubman turned to a group of three female reporters, including one wearing a purple domestic-violence awareness bracelet, and yelled, half a dozen times, “Thank God we got Osuna! I'm so f------ glad we got Osuna!” The outburst was offensive and frightening enough that another Houston staffer apologized. The Astros declined to comment. They also declined to make Taubman available for an interview.

    Second-interview candidates, per reports: Perez, Beltran, Girardi, Bogar.

    Eric Cooper, the umpire who ejected Mike Piazza for routine kvetching in the first inning of a well-attended Sunday game at Shea in Piazza's final Met season, 52. Far too soon in both cases.
  8. G-Fafif
    Astros in five, with the caveat that anything can happen.

    “Hey, Astros, can you do me a solid and vanquish my enemy? Oh, if you do, I'll root against you right after.” Nah, I can't be that way.

    HousTON WashingTON In the battle to succeed BosTON And, as has always been and always will be the case in these 2010s, not a pinstripe in sight.

    “Bullpen game” sounds like “spa day”.

    Fun with Mets NL East rivals who went to the World Series, from the 1971 Pirates to the 2019 Nationals http://www.faithandfearinflushing.com/2019/10/18/eastward-ho/here.

    Justin Verlander currently letting down a nation.

    Willie never managed the MFYs. Only seems like he did.
  17. G-Fafif
    In case you were wondering, yes, Skip Schumaker has interviewed to become the next Mets manager. And yes, he is a client of CAA.

    Last night was apparently it for CC Sabathia, who exited the mound with an injury while pitching relief and already announced his retirement once the postseason is over. How sad to go out the way he did...in a MFY uniform, that is.
  19. G-Fafif
    Astros win, 8-3. 4:19 well spent.
  20. G-Fafif
    6-3. Forget I said anything.
  21. G-Fafif
    Astros 6 MFYs 1 in the 6th inning of the 4th game of what is, tentatively speaking, a not altogether objectionable ALCS.
  22. G-Fafif
    Luis Rojas also interviewing.
  23. G-Fafif
    Fonzie staying as a club ambassador, which is what he was doing before managing.
  24. G-Fafif
    Jon Heyman said Tim Bogar is "in the mix," whatever the fuck that means.
  25. G-Fafif
    Often in 2019 I thought I spied a sure winner. Gonna be competitive.
