They're not exactly knocking down the fences at Camden Yards, either. Later

What are you hoping for? That David Wright returns and wins the MVP in his last season? No. I want to see him retire, so his fans can remember him at his best. Later

I hear it's hot in Florida: St. Lucie Mets in 2018
MFS62 replied to Edgy MD's topic in New York Mets Talk
Sadly, my adoptee Wuilmer Becerra still hasn't found his stroke and I fear his time with the organization is about to expire. He's mired around .250 and the hoped for power has not emerged. Of course, the FLS is not a place you want to send a prospect to see if he has power, but still ... nada. Later -
Edgy MD wrote: I have a different idea of grace than yours. I saw nothing graceless in Willie Mays' retirement. Retire gracefully is an old expression, not meant to be taken literally and not the direct opposite of graceless. I meant it to mean with all honors due him. In his last year, Willie was a mere shadow of the magnificent player I had seen when he came up in New York. Actually, that player WAS the epitome of grace and his skills had decreased dramatically by the time he played that last year with the Mets. Do you want to see that happen to David? Later

Rockin' Doc wrote: I definitely am pulling for Wright to make it back to the Mets. I am very skeptical that he will ever be able be a contributor at the MLB level again. I truly hope that Wright proves me wrong. Exactly. His fans should not have memories of a once-great at the end of career etched into their memories like we had with Willie Mays. He should retire gracefully. Maybe not an endless Jeter fan fellatiation but maybe just a loving hug and kiss on the cheek; a Lou Gehrig moment. Later

Lol: Olevai! (May it happen) Later

Kelenic is 3 for 3 tonight (game still going) and has left the interstate, currently batting an even .200. Later OE: 3-4 .198

Well, I guess they'll need something to attract fans in September, since they've announced they won't be bringing up Alonso. You know - a move that might actually be beneficial for the future. Later

Not only did they hold on, but Mr. Alonso had another fine day. http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?gid=2018_08_09_renaaa_lvgaaa_1&t=g_box&sid=milb Later

BA has jumped the Mets system from 27th to 19th in their updated rankings. They must really like the past draft. Later

How Things Could Get Worse for the New York Mets
MFS62 replied to Benjamin Grimm's topic in New York Mets Talk
That was the worst attempt at humor I've read [crossout:hz7l0hdu]in a very long time[/crossout:hz7l0hdu] ever. If a Bleacher Creature could write, they couldn't come up with anything that bad. Later -
The Mission Impossible team is again led by Tom Cruise, in the 6th installment of this franchise. They try to find stolen plutonium, enough to make three nuclear weapons, while battling the CIA, MI-6, and an international conspiracy. Later

That's like the lottery tickets that sound good to an MFY Bleacher Creature - winner gets a dollar a year for a million years. Later

(Didn't think this deserved its own thread, and this is the most general baseball one I could find) Later Or you could, y'know, start a TWiB Notes thread for this week!! Yeah, but since this happened in the off season .... yeah, I could have. Later

Well, fuck HIM! https://www.yahoo.com/sports/jayson-werth-called-every-team-133750792.html He didn't like us, and the feeling is mutual. (Didn't think this deserved its own thread, and this is the most general baseball one I could find) Later

Went to bed early. When I saw the box score this morning and read that Dilson Herrera hit a home run, my thought was, "Of course he did". Later

There's been a lot of excitement about the Kingsport ® team this year. First round draft picks Jarred Kelenic (CF) and Mark Vientos (3B) play there. But everyone seems to be overlooking a 19 year old kid named Luis Santana, who is playing second and hitting cleanup. Signed out of the Dominican Republic, this is his first year playing in the US. He's short, stocky and can hit. http://www.milb.com/player/index.jsp?sid=milb&player_id=670919#/career/R/hitting/2018/ALL I'm channeling my love for Brian Cole (RIP) in this kid. Welcome to him home, Luis. Mi casa es su casa. Later

Books. Willie McCovey won the NL Rookie of the Year award by hitting .354 in only 52 games. (1959) There's still enough time for McNeil to win it this year. Later

Here's a candidate that checks off a lot of boxes. 1) Front Office administrative experience 2) MLB/ Commissioner's office experience. 3) "Minority" candidate (TWO EEO boxes checked) 4) Fred Wilpon's love for everything Dodgers 5) Highly respected 6) Probably will take a low salary to just get a chance 7) Has been discussed here before Only thing is, not much experience in the player part of the job. A candidate worthy of serious consideration? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Ng Discuss among yourselves. Later
