The best, and scariest, "line" in Dr. Strangelove was never spoken. As the camera pans the Generals in the War Room, the title of one of the books in front of them is Estimated Losses in Megadeaths. Later

Crap! Can't they keep the ball in the ballpark? Later

Joel Sherman speculates about the coming offseason
MFS62 replied to Benjamin Grimm's topic in New York Mets Talk
Joel Sherman wrote: For now let’s focus on third. Wright has three years and $47 million left, and insurance will continue to take care of a large swath of that if he does not play or retires. As Red Barber used to say "Whoa, Nelly". This is the first time I've read that the insurance would pay for some of his contract if he retires. All prior accounts of the insurance led us to believe that if he retired, he would be leaving the money on the table. If he's getting paid either way, why hasn't this been mentioned before? It seems to certainly make it easier to convince him. No? Later -

This team takes me back to the days when I would tune in to watch Kingman or Foster at bats, then as soon as they were over I would tune out because nobody else in the lineup was capable of doing anything to excite me. I feel that way now about Rosario and Conforto and maybe Smith will soon find his way to that list. But, Dammit, Terry, bat Rosario second or third and Conforto right after him, so I don't have to suffer dynamic ennui during the at bats between them. In the meantime, I'll root. Hard. But its a struggle. Later

You can't lose two games in a row (or any time for that matter) to a guy named Didi. You just CAN'T! LGM! Later

He continues to prove his ranking. http://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2017/08/15/kinsler-angel-hernandez-hes-messing-baseball-games-blatantly/104635246/ Later

He probably bet on the Cardinals. Bastage. Later
-
I'd like to remember him by his legacy - the player(s) the Mets got in return. If that return had to go through waivers, shouldn't that have happened by now? Its been more than 48 hours since the trade was announced. Later
-
Just got here. Did any of the announcers mention that Amed Rosario tonight became the best shortstop to ever play in YS III? (or YS II for that matter).* Later * = A day without a "Fuck you, Jeter" comment is like a day without sunshine.

It was his punishment for wearing a flat brimmed MFY HAT. (It isn't a baseball cap unless the brim is curled). Later

Grab 'em by the Jeters? Instant classic! Later

The announcement was supposed to happen after the game. OK, so who did they get? Later

Price is said to be $1.2 Billion That means we'll be seeing TV shots of him (if not interviews) in the owner's booth on every single telecast, both when the Mets play them and all nationally telecast games. The fucker is harder to get rid of than a condo in Florida. Later

Must be Mike Schmitt. (but I was going to say Big Papi.) Later -
Edgy MD wrote: Yes, I noted that his spot was open. Crossing posts. I started typing before yours was posted. As for who goes down, too bad they don't have Eric Campbell any more. He was always good for a demotion or DFA when we needed one. Later

Didn't they open that roster spot with the Jay Bruce trade? I didn't read that the minor leaguer they got for him was added to the 40 man roster. OE: Activated Legares. Someone's gotta' go. Later

Smith? As in the mighty blacksmith of Greek mythology? Then he should be Hephaestus!, or ... Maybe not. Later

Mets fans are asking what two wives and a lot of Russian hookers have said to Donald, "Is that all there is"? Later

For Ryder Ryan (not to be confused with Ryan Ryder), a minor league reliever. (What else?) As per Joel Sherman. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=ryan--000ryd Guess this opens up a 25 man roster spot for Dom Smith. Later

My kid made his major league debut today for the Angels. He went 1-4 (a single) with his first major league RBI and 2 (that's TWO) stolen bases. Glad you finally made it, kid. Stay clean. Later

And a happy ending for Chris Flexen - his first major league victory. Chris... uh .... Chris. You can exhale now. Later

I've seen all of the movies on your list except for three: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly; Touch of Evil; and American Beauty. I saw Touch of Evil in my college films class. Many people talk about the opening scene (at the time, the longest one-take continuous scene in any movie). But my most memorable moment, the one that showed me Welles' genius as a director, was the "second blink". When you see the movie, you'll know exactly what I mean. Enjoy it. Later
