And I'd rather somebody who wants to put their head down in those jobs over those who get off on fostering personal media relationships. I mean, it takes a mindstretch to imagine somebody saying, "You know, the Mets like my credentials, and I think I killed it in my interview, but they really seem to be dicks about execs leaking to the media on the side. I'm going to turn them down and hope something opens up soon with the Rangers." It's not just that tweet or tweeting in general, but that Cohen's tweeting habit could be indicative of other questionable habits. And it could be a big deal if its the one guy at the top of Cohen's list who rejects the Mets because of stuff like this. I'm not suggesting the Mets wont be able to get anybody. It took me so many clicks to type this post correctly, that I probably could've written it five times if I didnt make any mistakes. Fucking smartphone keypad.

I wonder if it'll discourage some front office talent from wanting to work for him.

=kcmets post_id=77910 time=1631751209 user_id=53] Don't get the anger. The intolerance of others who differ from you while you bang the lib lib drum everyday. You're a mean person. At least here, you are.

I don't believe the initiation of IGT's is that sophisticated. It is random and often available through midday. Eh, he hates me and likes to make sport. It's sad, and is what it is. Yeah and you're a fucking innocent bystander in all of this. What a fucking bullshit artist. Just make shit up and rewrite history. The "initiation of IGT's is random"? What the fuck does that mean? Are the both of youse fluent in the language of Gibberish?

Johnny Lunchbucket wrote: Yes I think the way things are going Keith'll get in there.... Keith'll end up in Cooperstown. He's the best fielding first baseman in baseball history. His defense was so revolutionary, so far ahead of its time, that watching Keith play first base for the first time must've been as eye-opening as seeing Jimi Hendrix play mod-England in 1966. If Keith never existed and came up today for the first time ever as a young twentysomething first baseman, he'd still be ahead of his time. His defense alone should've gotten him more than halfway into Cooperstown. Bill Mazeroski, ferchrissakes, is a HOF'er.

Personally, I think the whole steroid ban is ridiculous. Players should be allowed to take whatever the hell they wanna take. Because what, having a physical natural genetic advantage is fair? Who are the fucked up moralists and ethicists who wrote those rules? Or to put it another way for the savage medieval barbarians in our society, its supposed to be fair when God gives Deion Sanders a body from Mount Olympus but almost everybody else gets bodies fit for an insurance salesman? That's fair? What the fuck is fair about that?

So what? Maybe you should hog up and eat all of the little hot dogs wrapped in little tiny buns hor d'oeuvres at a party, too. Or steal all the buffet salami like Ratso Rizzo at that Andy Warhol-like party down in the village. Maybe you should hog up two parking spots whenever you parallel park your car, too. So what? Maybe give somebody else a chance.

Carter didn't sink to replacement level but he was done as an impact player. He sucked after '86. and with hindsight, the Mets would have been better off if Carter retired or was traded after '86. His OPS+'s with the Mets after '86, in chronological order, were 83, 93 and 51. He wasn't gonna make any more all-star teams unless he was gonna be selected on what he once was with the Expos. Which is like 80% of the case for retiring his Mets uni: what he did with the Expos.

=kcmets post_id=77852 time=1631725398 user_id=53] Jesus love you. And so do I.

The Mets lose often enough that KC probably starts more Mets IGT streak threads in one and a half weeks than I do all season long.

"You'll thank me in the morning?" What is that supposed to mean? Is that like a high optimism bar? I now await the inevitable shitty music video selections that are like from the musical tastes of nine year olds just discovering rock and roll.

=Ceetar post_id=77824 time=1631711163 user_id=102] it's probably pretty rare for a hitter that established go from solidly above average to below replacement level in two years.

Johnny Lunchbucket wrote: This team is just larded with relentless failure The Mets should've been an offensive powerhouse this season. But four key players, Lindor, McNeil, Conforto and Smith have grossly, grossly underperformed. Three of those guys are all-stars and the fourth, Smith would've very likely been invited to last year's all-star game if there was one. What team could overcome that? Did you hear that the Mets last nine losses were all by o e run, a major league record? Never been done before.

Aaron Altherr is the only other Met with initials A.A.

How come the Cards aren't wearing a Lou Brock patch this year? First ballot HOF'ers aren't good enough to honor like that?

McNeil's due for a homer.
