  1. New news: The Mets were unable to get Canario through waivers and have trade the outfielder to the Pirates for cash. Too bad. I think there will be a need for him later this season. Later
  2. As Yogi said, "Half of this game is 90% mental". The change makes them feel more confident. But from a Physics standpoint, FK is right - the more mass toward the end of the bat generates more power (assuming contact) if the sweet spot is out there. My science* starts to dim out when I try to figure if there will be more broken bats when the hitter gets jammed with the new shaped bats. Later * = calculating angular momentum
  3. I thought I read that Canario also cleared waivers and was re-signed to Syracuse. OOPS. See next post. Later
  4. The Mets just announced their AAA Syracuse roster. Despite pitching better than some of the veterans this spring, Trey did not make it. So it looks like he's going back to Binghamton. RATS! Later
  5. Those first two homers would have been outs in a real major league ballpark. Later
  6. They first diagnosed the cause of death as asphyxia. If so, some of the obvious signs must have been present. There are non-specific physical signs used to attribute death to asphyxia. These include visceral congestion via dilation of the venous blood vessels and blood stasis, petechiae, cyanosis and fluidity of the blood. (Petechiae are tiny hemorrhages). If they have ruled it out, then there must be something that made them think it was asphyxia. The resort management claims it wasn't food poisoning. So I'm guessing a heretofore undiagnosed familial food allergy, since others in the family felt ill, too. I'm not a forensic scientist. But I have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express and used to watch Quincy, M.E. and House. Later
  7. Stearns is responsible for the on field product. I highly doubt this is his doing. Cast your gaze instead towards Uncle Steve and his smoke machine blowing/fireworks spewing/dugout roof dancing/retired number-of-the-month promotional crew. Maybe you're right. But it still smells like braunschweiger to me. Later
  8. I know Stearns came here from Milwaukee. This is the equivalent of their sausage race. But we are NOT Milwaukee. We do not need small town hokey crap to keep the fans interested here. This is New York. Disgraceful. Later
  9. Troy Schreffler's a U of Maryland Terrapin, so he's go that going for him. (Go Terps) Luis Moreno popped up in minor league box scores a lot last year, as I saw he was used as both a starter and reliever. He started the year getting clobbered (ERA around 6). Then as the year progressed, he got it down into the 4's. He had a few good outings with the big club this spring. I hope he continues to improve this year. As for another Luis Moreno? I got nuthin'. Later
  10. Enjoy. We expect a full report. Later
  11. I can't answer that without knowing which other players they would have acquired for the cost of those two. Later
  12. HEY! My kid, Trey Mclaughlin is not only still in camp, but closing games. He got his first save the other day. My daughter had dinner with his mother last night, and they both would be very mad at you if I told them you are ignoring him. He at least deserves a "Still in camp" mention. Later
  13. 1. What will the Mets' record be? 82-80 2. Predict the NL East standings from 1 to 5: Phillies, Atlanta, Mets, Washington, Miami 3. Will the Mets make the playoffs (if so, as the division champ or 1st, 2nd, or 3rd WC)? 2nd WC 4. If so, how far will they go? Lose in the NLDS 5. Who will be the World Champion? Milwaukee Brewers 6. Number of regular season HRs for Pete Alonso: 34 7. Who will be on the cover of the 2025 winner of the Tabloid Cover Derby? Mark Vientos Later
  14. PSST, just between you and me, I think they make the load times so long so that we'll get frustrated and sign out before we can get to the Bitch to the Admin page and bitch about slow load times. Later
  15. Has broken left hamate bone replaced quad strain as the injury of the year? Both Alvarez and Hagenman have it. Is it catching, or are only batterymen at risk? Later
  16. I heard that song a lot when I was a kid. RIP. Later
  17. Channeling Rodney Dangerfield, "The second opinion is... he's ugly." Later
  18. I thought it might have been. Later
  19. What was the source of that review? Los of research went into those first two points. Later
  20. Ex-GM Billy Eppler has signed on as an advisor for the Milwaukee Brewers. https://metsmerizedonline.com/morning-briefing-former-mets-gm-billy-eppler-joins-brewers/ Later
  21. I saw Flashdance and wasn't crazy about it. I saw Footloose and liked it, but wouldn't go out of my way to see it again. I saw Dirty Dancing and loved it, and have seen it again several times. I also loved the dancing in Xanadu (1980) Later
  22. His name is Edward Norton and I'm rooting for him to finally get the Best Supporting Actor award because I believe he really got screwed out of the award for his performance in Primal Fear. Later RATS! Later
  23. What were the other two? Later
  24. As Dick Young said about Hector "what a pair of hands" Lopez, "He plays fly balls like they'll explode on contact". Later
  25. His name is Edward Norton and I'm rooting for him to finally get the Best Supporting Actor award because I believe he really got screwed out of the award for his performance in Primal Fear. Later
