"I cracked open this cinnamon stout for Thor's start, it really brings the heat" Today's...well, when I'm recording, dating the pod heh, is Koosman's number retirement day. So *crack*, because I don't think anyone brought Rheingold, the dry beer, back. Here is a nice toast of a Schaefer instead!

Much like the blogs back in the day that didn't take their cues from what they read in newspapers (publishing series previews as if you couldn't figure out the Mets were playing the Cardinals tonight), the Mets podcasts I find most palatable are the ones that aren't under the impression that they have to be latter-day Mike and/or the Mad Dog. I've been America's Guest on many of them. I'm happy to be asked and go where the hosts want, but I've never understand the point of "let's talk about shortstop depth" for the umpteenth time. yeah, a lot of the internet is just aggregated nonsense at this point. One guy says something, 456 repeat it and maybe another 100 attempt to repeat it in their own words. Not that this is different with podcasts than say, Joe Buck saying something and every ESPN/talk show weighing in, but still. Props to Amazin' Avenue's A Pod Of Their Own for that, mostly having a different take/angle/discussion. My 'idea' would be more of a Barley Prose podcast where we talk beer and pair it with baseball. "This Triple IPA is huge, hoppy, and in your face. It really packs a wallop, much like Yoenis Cespedes' 3 HR game last night!" Man, Jake was as smooth as ever last night. Much like this tasty amber lager I picked up from my local nano brewery!

I "know" what I'm doing, were someone wanting to do a CPF Mets podcast, clearly from Steve's list there's a dearth. You can even borrow the name from your current pod!

I do have a bit of a podcast subscribing habit... Here are Metly ones that have put out episodes since September (any older ones may have podfaded (ended with, or without a trace), especially with no sort of regular season wrap episode): Talkin' Mets with Mike Silva The Mets In The Zone (part of Comfortably Zoned Network Feed) Locked On Mets Simply Amazin Amazin' Avenue (they have a few different good shows on the same feed) New York Mets 101 We Gotta Believe A Tale Of Two Boroughs: A Subway Series Podcast (yeah it's on both) Giant Mess: A Giant-Mets Fan's 1 Man Show The Put It In The Books Show (On TheCineSportsTalk Radio Network Feed) MetsMusings The Mets Are Run By Idiots Welcome To The Podcast For All You Kids Out There Amazin' Mets Alumni Podcast With Jay Horowitz New York Mets Podcast (MLB.com) A Metsian Podcast Mets Across The Pond Flipping Bats & Winning Games MetsRewind Mets360 Shea Anything The Bad Guys Pod The Mets Talk Mets Farm Report The MetsCast Ya Gotta Believe Panic City Rain Delay Theatre Gotham Mets Pod Greener Grass Mets Orange and Blue Thing (The 7 Line's pod) 2019 MLB Mets Overtime Thanks, Steve! I'll check out some of those! I have heard a couple of "Locked on Mets" episodes. Still trying to figure out what I think about it. The quality makes it seem like it's a random guy in his basement. But he made some interesting points and seemed to know what he was talking about. Locked On's MLB Mothership has Paul Francis Sullivan as its host, so if anything you can listen to Locked on MLB instead Wish there was a Met Guy In Michigan pod

Obviously I don't know what was originally planned, but clearly no Beltran related SGAs are on the promotional schedule right now.

Now you have me wondering if Cohen thumbnail bios are currently being ripped out of yearbooks, media guides and spring training programs!

=Centerfield post_id=31170 time=1580999682 user_id=65] =41Forever post_id=31162 time=1580995250 user_id=69] I'm not an expert in these things. But I have to think no one walks away from $2.6 billion when it's on the table. Now factor in the family issues, and you have even more pressure to sell. I can also see Cohen saying he's not sliding $2.6 billion across the table unless he has control. If the Honda salesman told me I can start payments on my CRV but not drive it for five months, I'd balk. I can also see someone in Cohen's camp leaking to the media that the sale has slowed as an additional way to put pressure on the Wilpons. I can also see MLB, advertisers, networks, agents, Nike and everyone else getting making money on baseball realizing that baseball is stronger when there is a good team in New York, and that's pressure to sell, too. This is one step in the process.

It's also stemming from Barstool, so take it with a stadium full of salt grains!

Accomplished coach, who was last at Orange Coast College, John Altobelli, his wife and daughter perished in the same helicopter crash that took the lives of Kobe and Gianni Bryant. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/28570865/orange-coast-college-baseball-coach-john-altobelli-helicopter-crash-victimshttps://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/28570865/orange-coast-college-baseball-coach-john-altobelli-helicopter-crash-victims Met connection in that he helped Jeff McNeil back in 2012.

Dan Matlack, Jon's son, must have jumped the gun, or misinterpreted/misspoke about a Hall of Fame induction with that picture outside the Met Hall & Museum as the tweet was deleted. The Instagram pic, and original caption, is still up.

Couldn't help but think of the sad coincidence of this thread and article happening weeks before Kobe Bryant's death. There are twitter users, including those with “blue check marks,” (meaning official/“trusted” accounts of whomever is being represented) who aren't letting the Bryant mourning pass without bringing up the rape case from 2003.

MetPolice caught a happy 70th birthday tweet and Instagram post of the HOF entrance by Matlack's son as evidence of a forthcoming induction announcement.

=seawolf17 post_id=30287 time=1579706896 user_id=91] I love that the one vote has sent MFY fans into apoplexy, because that tells me a lot more about those fans than it does about the Hall, CI, or the voting process.

Edgy MD wrote: It's also how the MLB handles it. The Yankee wins and losses under Don Zimmer whilst Joe Torre was going through cancer treatments are credited to Torre. But just because they have it wrong, don't mean we have to. As far as I'm concerned, a game won while a manager is off to see his son graduate from college or while the manager has been ejected should be credited to the substitute with the lineup card. Rube Walker (I think it was Walker) should get credit for the games following Gil Hodges heart attack. Revising the record to reflect these wins and losses by substitutes would be very illuminating. Actually, just reporting out the data without MLB necessarily revising the record would be interesting. B-R has done that with known historic instances, including several instances late in John McGraw's run with the Giants, but the difference is that those are cases where it was assumed that the original manager/coach will return. No reason to do that here, where Beltrán gets credit for wins and losses that he has no actual direct past or future involvement with.

Sad to bring it up, but it strengthens the point, despite piloting the Mets through Spring Training before dying tragically less than 2 weeks before Opening Day, Gil Hodges doesn't get credit for being an MLB/Met manager for 1972.

Whomever manages opening day. Precedence with Wally Backman, Arizona Diamondback manager and Bill Belichick as the HC of the NYJ. Not to mention scores of phantom players called up to big league rosters, or even postseason rosters, whom don't get chronicled in both official and unofficial indexing of All-Time rosters due to never participating in an official game.

Mend fences and bring in Alfonso. Except for potentially enter Cooperstown as the skipper and with the Met scripted interlocking NY on the plaque, and more beloved among the fan base, he does check off the list of things it seemed the Mets wanted out of the Beltrán hire.

Benjamin Grimm wrote: He's in danger of being Wally Backmanned. So... if he gets fired before the season starts, does he retain his position as the 22nd Mets manager, with the new guy being number 23, or is it like it never happened, and the new guy will be 22? I know someone who maintains a Mets database, and he may have to make some kind of determination regarding how to record this. I'd wait to see what official (MLB, Mets) listings say. Backman isn't listed as a Diamondback skipper. Hell, Bill Belichek is never called a “former HC of the NYJ” or listed among Jet Head Coaches despite his infamous resignation note and press conference!
