Wondering if employer referring to employee as Big Sexy constitutes harassment.

HOORAH!!!

Sandy to address the media at 3:45. Go to a secure location.

Hope his burger-flipping doesn't suffer as a result of the discomfort. wujOmTnXmxE

Harvey: DL for shoulder discomfort.

Placed on the DL with shoulder discomfort. Lugo up.

A full midseason update will be made available after Sunday's game, but I can tell you there's been a lot of shaking, rattling and rolling on the chart.

Nice piece on this nice idea.

"It felt so real. First he won the batting title. Then he signed with the Marlins. Then he was with the Blue Jays and the Rockies and there was something about him being arrested and he was a free agent and nobody wanted him, but the Mets did, even though they had a shortstop with a funny name, and they told him he had to go to Brooklyn and Binghamton, but then suddenly he was back and he was wearing No. 7, which wasn't a sure thing, and he was gonna play third because David was out for the year and his career was in jeopardy. It was like he never left but also like he was never really here when I looked at this blurry digital picture of him holding a press conference in a tank top and a cap with Mr. Met on it. "Strange dream. Anyway, who're we playing tonight?"

To be activated Tuesday, corresponding move TBA. Td'A is graciously handing over 7.

Two scoreless innings of relief in his professional debut, a career born on the same date as the US of A.

Judging from July 3, pinch-hitter Jacob deGrom, who did not pitch, has confounded the ballot format.

A friend has a neat idea: paint the seat where Yoenis's Ka-BOOM landed in Promenade a shade of neon yellow. Read more about it here. Hey, Mets fans! I think we all know by now what Yoenis Cespedes accomplished last night, but for the record: He became the first player in Citi Field history to hit a home run into the third (uppermost) deck during a regular game. To recognize this feat, I think it would be really cool if we could get the Mets to paint the seat he hit neon yellow, like his compression sleeve. Could you all spread this idea by signing this petition and tweeting the Mets using the hashtag #PaintItYellow? Let's give Citi Field an unforgettable, and colorful, landmark!

Met No. 1,018: Seth Lugo.

Edgy MD wrote: I was going to write, "Yeah, well, there are no active, operating online fora for discussions of Alice!" but of course I was wrong. Some years ago, couldn't have been too many, but not lately, Alice was used as a bracing example in an article to drive home the splintering of the television audience. However many viewers Alice drew in its prime was usually good to land it as the No. 25 or 30 program of the week, I think it said, yet it was substantially more viewers than whatever the No. 1 show of the modern age at the time was drawing. Lesson for this thread? Bobby Gene Smith could probably outhit Alejandro De Aza if you spotted him a few decades.

Of the truly Original Mets, the 28 who composed the first active roster (when 28 was the norm for the first 30 days of the season), 16 are no longer with us. Smith forever tilted the balance in November and Jim Hickman unscored the inevitable tilting of the mortal scales earlier this month. These guys we've lost from those years, I find myself picturing them as kids in Oregon or Cuba or Tennessee or wherever picking up a baseball at some tender age, discovering they could throw it or hit it harder than the other kids who lived nearby and trying out for the first team they could find, whether at school or under the auspices of the Y, and realizing they really are pretty good at this. They keep at it, they get a coach's attention, then a scout's, and they're off on their journey, one that drops them off in New York for a spell. Maybe they don't break records when they reach the top, maybe their stay in the majors is brief, maybe after a while the only ones who are going to make a point of remembering them are a handful of obsessives who never saw them play...but damn, they were Mets. As Mets, Bobby Gene Smith hit .136, Chico Fernandez .200, Dick Smith .228, Jim Hickman .241. At some point in their lives, though, you know they were the best players around.

He was just a kid, comparatively speaking.

Another early Met is late, as is the information regarding his passing. Bobby Gene Smith, an outfielder for eight games in April of 1962, died last November 24. http://m.hoodrivernews.com/obituaries/2015/dec/04/bobby-smith/?templates=mobile He's the second Oregonian whose death slipped under radar in recent years, following the long-delayed discovery of the departure of Dick Smith from 2012 in 2015. The first triple ever recorded in franchise history -- delivered in service to a Mets win, no less -- came off Bobby's bat on 4/23/62. It brought home the eighth and ninth runs in our inaugural victory, the 9-1 demolition of the Pirates at Forbes Field. Three days later he was swapped to the Cubs for Sammy Taylor. Bobby Gene Smith May 28, 1934 - November 24, 2015 Hood River native Bobby Gene Smith, 81, passed into the Kingdom of Heaven on Tuesday, Nov. 24, 2015, at home. Bob was born in Hood River on May 28, 1934, to Henry and Grace Smith. He is survived by his sisters Frances and Betty of Hood River; brother Frank of Vancouver, Wash.; his four children: Michael Smith, of The Dallas, Ore., David Smith, of Dallas, Texas, Vicki Kissler Smith, of Seattle, Wash., and Mark Owens, of Tacoma, Wash.; and his twin grandsons, Josh and Tony, of Tacoma. After graduation, Bob went into Major League Baseball and played for 17 years. From there he went to work for the city of Tacoma, Wash., until his retirement. He enjoyed playing golf and watching all sports. He loved to travel and took many trips with his constant companion of 12 years, Erlene, who recently preceded him in death. When not traveling, Bob enjoyed gardening and spending time with his many friends and family. Bob had a great sense of humor, a big heart, and was very dedicated to family and friends. A note from his family: “We were blessed to share his life and love. We love you, Bob, and will miss you always.”

Looking forward to raising the flag against the Braves. The American flag, probably, but still.

On June 13, 2015, Danny Muno starts at third base, handles three chances, makes three errors. Later that day, horse racing sees its first Triple Crown winner in 37 years cross the finish line at Belmont. American Pharoh, meet Metropolitan Failure. At FAFIF, we have one commenter who answers most criticism of any given scapegoat with "he's in the major leagues and you're not," which I find both sobering and undiscerning. Yet keeping that in mind, Danny Muno did what those of us shaking our heads at his subpar everything will never do. But, hoo boy, did he do it not well. Good luck, guy who wore 16 as if it was never worn by one of the greats.
