Neither here nor there but just read Lyle's THE BRONX ZOO and can't really recommend it as highly as the reviews I'd seen would suggest. Reading several 70s baseball books this year--finished Mike Stroposhire's Texas Rangers book, which started off pretty good but went off the rails. Okrent's NINE INNINGS is terrific tho, for a 44-year-old book, still very relevant to the current discussion of baseball as a business and as an unknowable thing but to its participants.

We almost contended without him twice already. Hopefully we spend that $$ on something good. Was thinking that Stroman was the important guy to re-sign

That's kinda shitty news

Very stylishly done. It was a lot of cool people talking about what they think is cool. Sparks is a lot of fun however and they came off genuine in their coolness.

I wish I never discovered what he looked like irl. I can't explain why but I was disappointed by seeing him

He did manage to become the first player besides Steven Matz to win the organization's Most Likely to Look Like Steven Matz Award. Lollolllol

He looks kinda douchey. Imagine him pumping his fist after a win

They're really both winners to be honest

Keeps his head on that ball. I'd give this guy a job

Steve looks more woeful and pathetic in the Post, like he knows it's all his fault, whereas the Snooze piece suggests that Matz's relentless sucking is someone else's problem to deal with

Tips cap to certain loser MEETING ACROSS THE RIVER for getting a Springsteen song into a Jay Bruce story.

This story obviously deserved further enlightenment.

Hall of Famer probably

They're all good Matz In Action shots. Newsday went with rubbing up a new ball following a 2-out walk; the Snooze chose greeting Hefner at the mound once the 3-run lead was erased; and the Post selected watching the flight of the two-run homer.

I went with all 3 Matz covers.

Congrats to the Braves.
