T.C.G. Code Name: Turning over a New Leaf - circa 2018 Jack DiLauro (retro Mets) [FIMG=555]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50964487751_560fb3102b_o.png[/FIMG] Check out those sideburns!

Plus, DiLauro wore sideburns with the Mets.

That is definitely not Gary Gentry.

This is the bad (very bad) Syndergaard tweet: “show [my shirtless pic] to your wife,” [syndergaard] wrote. “Guaranteed she wouldn't want to me to put a shirt on… you might actually get laid bc of that but she'll be thinking of me.” https://nypost.com/2021/02/19/trevor-bauer-noah-syndergaard-get-into-mets-twitter-spat/https://nypost.com/2021/02/19/trevor-bauer-noah-syndergaard-get-into-mets-twitter-spat/

Besides, now we can sign Syndy what with all the money that was saved that almost sent Cohen to the poorhouse in his foolish (/rollseyes sarcastically) attempt to sign Bauer. On another note, Bauer's average Bill James game score for his 12 starts from 2020 season was 69. Apropos of another discussion we had, I'm pretty certain, though not 100% positive, that Syndergaard never had a 12 game stretch where his average BJGS was 69. I did a quick check.

I'm guessing 1969 or '70. I've seen that picture before. In fact, it's part of a series of pictures taken on the same day within a short time of each other, maybe about a half dozen or so, of Mets emerging from cabs to the ballpark. I vaguely recall Tug McGraw in one of those shots. There's an excellent chance I have those shots on some external hard drive, but I'm not in the mood to go searching. Here we go! Lefty can tell us the make, model and year of this cab. It's the same scene as the Kranepool shot (see the light blue caddy and the horse trailer in the background of both shots). I'm guessing Jack DiLauro coming out of the front of that cab. [FIMG=888]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50962078673_5db69d5a49_o.jpg[/FIMG]

Johnny Damon, menace to society. (Great Snooze lede.) Johnny Damon, having already loudly supported Donald Trump and whined about coronavirus restrictions, completed the retired baseball player Triple Crown on Friday with a DUI in Florida. Orlando-area cops pulled over Damon early Friday morning, when he registered a whopping 0.30 on a blood alcohol test, according to TMZ. (The legal limit in Florida is 0.08.) Damon was arrested just after 1 a.m., when he was charged with a DUI. According to police, his wife, Michelle Mangan-Damon, shoved a cop and was charged with resisting arrest. The Damons appeared together on the reality show “Below Deck” in 2019. https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/ny-johnny-damon-dui-20210219-362giia2ovdzxionxjm4d64kra-story.htmlhttps://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/ny-johnny-damon-dui-20210219-362giia2ovdzxionxjm4d64kra-story.html With Damon being a famous Trump supporter and Florida being the scumbag state that it is, they'll probably let Damon off scot-free.

=Centerfield post_id=56508 time=1613751967 user_id=65] If I had to guess, I would bet Cohen thinks Sandy misplayed his hands and is secretly a little annoyed at the mixed bag this offseason.

=Centerfield post_id=56507 time=1613751784 user_id=65] I'd be disinclined to include mid-year trades of stars. I think the spirit of DHM, and part of what makes it fun, is that no one was expecting anything of these guys when they arrived then performed beyond all of our expectations. Like “wow, can you believe this guy? Who would have thought ____ had this in him?” The minute Yo arrived, we expected greatness.

Great. Now the Mets can put out an eight-man rotation. Who needs Bauer?

Pizarro pulled a Syndergaard at Shea Stadium before Syndergaard ever did when, in 1971 against peak Tom Seaver, Pizarro shut-out the Mets 1-0 and homered. I still remember this game. Different times back then. Pizarro homered in the eighth inning. What are the chances he'd be allowed to bat in the eighth inning of a tie game against a virtually unhittable Tom Seaver today? What are the chances that Pizarro would even get to the eighth inning for the manager (Durocher in '71) to have to consider that decision today? https://www.nytimes.com/1971/09/17/archives/pizarros-homer-downs-mets-10-cubs-lefthander-connects-in-8th-to.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/1971/09/17/archives/pizarros-homer-downs-mets-10-cubs-lefthander-connects-in-8th-to.html

Let me see if I follow this: youse are all high on Taijuan Walker who pitched a total of 67 innings over the last three years combined but can't stop bitching that Trevor Bauer may have been brilliant in 2020, but only over 12 starts. Is that it? And youse can't wait to re-sign Noah Syndergaard even though he never had a 12 start stretch even remotely as good as Bauer's 2020, and as between Bauer and Syndergaard, only one of those two is guaranteed to miss at least half the 2021 season, and only one of those two is coming off of Tommy John surgery where there's a chance he might not even be as good as he used to be anymore.
