    A little late night transposition will get a person every now and then.
  2. G-Fafif
    I chronologically transposed Cone's two numbers in the list that appears on MBTN (fixed above). Should be Cone wearing 44 in 1988 ASG, 17 in 1992.

    Damn fine ballgame.
  4. G-Fafif
    Good game!
  5. G-Fafif
    Quality of game improving.
  6. G-Fafif
    Now a little less careful.
  7. G-Fafif
    This game is being very careful to suck.
  8. G-Fafif
    The little cover that could. I'd resisted its charms until now, but it definitely has spunk.

    Matz and Jeremy Accardo cooked up this scheme to get him on track and Callaway signed off on it, noting they won't need LIOSM to start again until July 20. “And by then, this'll be somebody else's problem,” the manager chuckled (not really on that part).

    Brooks Pounders and Rene Rivera offer their remembrances: https://www.northjersey.com/story/sports/mlb/2019/07/02/ny-mets-new-york-yankees-react-death-angels-pitcher-tyler-skaggs/1631366001/https://www.northjersey.com/story/sports/mlb/2019/07/02/ny-mets-new-york-yankees-react-death-angels-pitcher-tyler-skaggs/1631366001/

    Will be catching neither Jacob deGrom nor Noah Syndergaard: https://nypost.com/2019/07/02/mets-let-noah-syndergaard-dump-ramos-in-sudden-trend/https://nypost.com/2019/07/02/mets-let-noah-syndergaard-dump-ramos-in-sudden-trend/

    Dilson has opted out of his minor league deal. Was raking in Syracuse.

    Mazza, who followed in the great tradition of Matz and Zamora as Met pitchers sporting at least one "A," "M" and "Z" and debuting in my presence, made an unsuccessful but widely appreciated dive for a foul ball Saturday. Let there be more to his legacy -- and may the Mets never list him as deceased while he still draws breath.

    Ron Swoboda was on MLBN earlier today (wearing his Mets jacket), noting that Ken Boswell "no longer connects with" his former teammates as his explanation for why he was a Saturday absentee. Gary Gentry, he said, has been in poor health. Nolan Ryan he thought would be there and didn't know why he wasn't. Rocky was about to say something about Seaver when Chris Russo, who remains a fucking idiot, interjected that "Koosman was there," as if the issue was who was gonna pitch, and derailed Swoboda's train of thought.

    Elevenwise, Lenny Randle needed to express his disgruntlement in Texas sooner. Two-and-a-half months of All-Star play weren't enough to sneak in at third base in 1977 behind starter Ron Cey (as if Mike Schmidt and Pete Rose were somehow more deserving than Lenny).

    Gosger got a ring from the Mets Saturday night, but not the ring he believes he earned 50 years ago. https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/mets/ny-jim-gosger-69-mets-interview-not-dead-20190701-7vvki2bgkrgv5jdj76mt2jmaui-story.html?outputType=amp#click=https://t.co/u6YJFqcATMhttps://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/mets/ny-jim-gosger-69-mets-interview-not-dead-20190701-7vvki2bgkrgv5jdj76mt2jmaui-story.html?outputType=amp#click=https://t.co/u6YJFqcATM

    =41Forever post_id=14792 time=1562011652 user_id=69] Went with Seaver, who I think is being more playful than arrogant here.

They can dedicate as much to celebrating those two (and by extension any and all ephemeral Mets, especially those who appeared in a championship season), as well as eating humble pie. I mean, it would be kind of bush league, but no moreso than the unforced error that precipitated it. I like it. It's still the 50th anniversary of 1969, and each man made his Mets debut that September, thus there's time. Schedule it around or to coincide with Tebow's debut.

    McNeil is the first Mets No. 6 to make an All-Star team.
  24. G-Fafif
    Peak Straw won me over.

    Pignatano's son, Gentry's wife and Seaver's daughters and grandsons represented the non-attending living. Boswell, Weis (whose wife is too ill for him to leave her) and Ryan got respectful shoutouts but didn't send representation. Al Jackson, organizational pitching guru who was included in 2009 despite being sold to the Reds in June 1969, did not have representation or get a mention. He suffered a stroke in 2015, was given a place of honor and nice “what he means to us” writeup in the media guide as recently as 2018 but is no longer listed there this year. I wonder if there was a fallout with his family once his contract ran out (pure Wilpon-fueled speculation). Everybody who's no longer with us but wad part of the World Series roster had a living relative-type on hand, coaches, manager, Mrs. Payson and Johnny Murphy included. I wonder how the group dynamic changes if the guest list expands. “Remember that time in Baltimore...no, Bob Heise, I guess you don't.” Revered world champions' reunion as perpetual high school cafeteria table.
