One of the funniest lines I've heard in a movie is "They can compound that right out". I liked it. Later

To New Yorkers, the name Genevese brings back another memory. A woman named Kitty Genovese was brutally murdered on a street in Forrest Hills and several people heard it happening ,but nobody called the police. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Kitty_Genovese Not sure if I'll see Alto Knights, but thanks for the heads-up.

Since we're talking about financial matters: https://metsmerizedonline.com/mets-post-record-308-million-total-revenue-in-2025/ The article doesn't specify the $247M tax payroll salaries mentioned above. But I noticed it does also not include any tv revenue. From those numbers, I can't figure out how much money they might have available for salaries, should they maintain those levels. Are tv revenue and salaries a wash, or are they being carried on the books of a separate corporation? The numbers don't seem to jibe. Anyone here able to help? Later

Thank you for trying to bring some sunshine to my sorrow. Later

He's listed as 5'6" (close to Freddy Patek size). A lot of Napoleon-complex energy would have to kick in for him to make it. Later

Now a free agent. Good luck, kid. Later

My BABY! Oh, the horrors. Bye, kid. I wish you well. Later

Leapin' for Leiper - the new 3B coach: From https://www.amazinavenue.com/ Tim Leiper will be their third base coach, replacing Mike Sarbaugh. Leiper'smost recent coaching job came as the San Diego Padres’ third base coach last season. The California native’s baseball career began as a longtime minor leaguer, playing in 1,166 games across 12 seasons (including two stints with the Mets), from 1985-1996. He only played six games for the (then) Binghamton Mets in 1996, but transitioned into a coaching role that season, beginning his post-playing career. He coached in various roles in the minor leagues until 2000, where he became a minor league manager in the Montreal Expos organization. Later

You're right. As I may have posted before, in Jim Brosnan's book, "The Long season". the pitching coach told him, "Throw as hard as you can for as long as you can". He added "Just thinking about that makes my arm tired". And that was written in the late 1950s, Later

The Mets have claimed Ji Hwan Bae off waivers from the Pirates, per MLB.com's Anthony DiComo. Bae, who played the outfield last year in Pittsburgh's system, has a career .586 OPS in 163 MLB games and logged an .805 OPS last season in 67 Triple-A games. There was no mention of whether he will be on a major or minor league contract. Later

My kid has been named to the Arizona League All Star game representing the Scottsdale Scorpions. He's batting .264/.333/.556 with five homers in 60 plate appearances and has swiped seven bases without getting caught. He served as the Scorpions’ designated hitter on Wednesday, though he’s also caught six games and played four games in left field and two at first base. Suero was ranked as the Mets’ No. 14 prospect in MMO’s Top-50 Prospect list in August. My guess is he could double on tenor sax or drums if asked. Later

I voted 4 but could have been convinced to make it a 3.5. He has money and spent it. But when he went after names to make a splash, as FK noted, I'm not sure he spent his money as wisely as he might have. And the mascot races are too much small town carny instead of major league class for my taste. But the plusses are he put the fannies back in the seats, and the team was winning again. Later

Willbur Huckle for President! Solving a Mets Mystery

Thank you for that fun read. Later -
AJ Minter opted in for 2026. Later

Sorry if this is getting out of hand. I really did mean ""that it was too bad it wasn't arm related because I would have been more confident that he is fully cured." If that is not what my words conveyed, that is on me. I shouldn't have said it as "I know this sounds cruel, but too bad." And now I know it. Later
-
That is exactly what I meant. I say what I mean, with no ulterior motives. We apparently look at things differently. Our minds operate on a different wave length, which is why you keep having to ask me to explain what I mean. And you've been doing that since I joined the CPF. You're still the editor. It will never change. Later

I explained what I meant in a post above. If you still can't understand, I don't know how to say it any other way. Later

I hope you're right and he is healthy. Later

Please don't get hung up on the word surgery or the position he plays. My point was that arm injuries can be cured while back pain can be chronic. When I said too bad, I meant that it was too bad it wasn't arm related because I would have been more confident that he is fully cured. Back pain can continue to flare up. Later

Mattingly? Not ringing a SIM Score bell. Who did he pitch for and when? He was bothered by recurring back problems for years, regardless of the position he played. No SIM intended. I could have used David Wright as an example if I had thought of him first. Later
-
I had never heard of Jacoby Long. I looked him up to see if is related to one time prospect Terrence Long. There was no info on that but I discovered that Jacoby had played minor league ball at Woodstock (Valley League). We need someone who played at Woodstock because ... well, just because. Later

Had back surgery and missed an entire season and part of another some years ago. I forget the years, but I read that this morning. I know this sounds cruel, but too bad. If it had been an arm injury, some pitchers snap back even better after TJS. But backs are more iffy (see Mattingly- his pained him for years). Later

I would do it if we could swap out Megill for one of those two youngsters and sign Tarik to an extension. I'd keep Sproat and let Tong go. But that's just me. Later

That big gap between ML appearances makes me think he was injured. Later
