    Bob and Aaron Boone both managed. Past tense used here since neither is managing in any ongoing series at present.
  2. G-Fafif
    Didn't detect any envelope.

    It's the battle of franchises my sister's probably heard of.

    I love the National League. It's most of the National League's teams I can't stand. Go Red Sox.

    Ownership has come up wanting baseballwise, but nice story humanitywise.

    D-Mez, which nobody called him, belted a three-run pinch-homer to help put away the Braves on September 27, probably his last hit as a Met. Did another catcher, Travis d'Arnaud, produce his last hit as a Met in 2018? Let's have some Td'A downlow.

    After two months on the disabled list, ostensibly for a bad hip, Yoenis Cespedes emerged on July 20 to DH at MFYS III, went 2-4, including a home run, and walked in a Mets victory. Then he went back on the DL with two bad heels nobody seemed to know he was playing with. Cespedes may be the actual personification of the cliche about the player who can fall out of bed and get a hit. In his case, a long hit. How about that Phil (or Philip) Evans?

    The Brewers are that guy you know and like even though you roll your eyes sometimes at the things he says, so you're not that close, but you have a pretty good time together when you see him. The Dodgers are somebody you know a little and say hi to to be polite, yet they look through you and act like you don't exist. Fuck the Dodgers. Go Brewers.

    On June 23, Dom Smith pinch-hit for Drew Smith. On August 19, Drew Smith took Dom Smith's place in the batting order. Dom Smith now takes Drew Smith's place in the "what about...?" lineup.

    America anticipates voting November 5 and will try to remember other elections November 6.

    Austin Jackson, a Cub during the NLCS three years prior, became the second 2015 Mets postseason opponent to play for the Mets, following Adrian Gonzalez's path wrongteousness to righteousness. As long as his name has suddenly come up, what about Adrian Gonzalez?

    David Wright played in 1,585 regular-season games as a New York Met. The New York Mets' record with David Wright playing for them was 792-793. What, pray tell, can be told of Zack Wheeler?

    Luis Guillorme scored a run in the major leagues (as a pinch-runner) before having a plate appearance. Say, how about that Jay Bruce?

    Drew Gagnon became the first Mets pitcher to drive in a run with a sac fly in his MLB debut. What can be said about Jose Bautista?

    Adding Littlefield means bigger field at Citi Field. Well it does.

    American Masters’ Itzhak Perlman episode (PBS, October 14, 2018) begins with the subject arriving at Citi Field in his PERLMAN 70 jersey, riding through the Rotunda on his motorized scooter, watching BP, chatting with Neil Walker and playing the national anthem, spliced from two performances: prior to the Subway Series on August 1, 2016, and the NL Wild Card game on October 5, 2016.

    The important thing is the burgers will be free come Thursday.

    Astros start taking on the Red Sox at Fenway Park starting Saturday night. 211 regular-season wins, none of which will matter, some announcer is likely to say. Verlander vs. Sale to get things going.
  21. G-Fafif
    Game 1 at Miller Park Friday night. Clayton Kershaw vs. Gio Gonzalez of all people.
  22. G-Fafif
    Brewers-Astros, though Fenway and Dodger Stadium would be ideal venues. Then again, Minute Maid and Miller mean no rainouts (and lots of beverages).
  23. G-Fafif
    End-of-season MLB Pipeline prospect rankings raise Justin Dunn to No. 89 overall, fourth among Mets.
  24. G-Fafif
    All of these awards gets announced over MLB Network between 6 and 7 PM EST.

    1. MFYs Everything else is situational, relative, conditional. I can disdain any other team for a series or a season or a generation, but I can also drop a grudge if the moment moves me. Found myself admiring the 2011 Cardinals despite despising the 1985, 1987 and 2006 Cardinals. Couldn't hold 1969, 1984, 1989, 1998 and whatever passions arose in the heat of 2015 against the 2016 Cubs. I'm still down on the Royals and Utleys for 2015, but if they were to come up against the MFYs, I'd put those respective weeks of enmity aside in common cause, as I did grudgingly for the 1999 Braves (though mostly I ignored that World Series) and 2009 Phillies. Once upon a time, I couldn't forgive the Red Sox for daring to attempt to defeat the Mets at their pinnacle, but sooner or later you have to appreciate a bigger picture. Mets-Nationals was never much of a rivalry, but I did find myself happier that they fell out of the 2018 race than I was distraught over the rising fortunes of the Braves and (for a spell) Phillies.
