From what I've been reading and surmising, it was Jeff, I think, that fucked up the first Steve Cohen deal more than Cohen himself supposedly did. What a horrible person. He fucked up everything. Tidewater, too. The Mets had that minor league affiliate forever until like three minutes after Jeff got involved. Then Jeff pissed everybody off at Tidewater because he had the leverage and he could act like a scumbag with impunity because he is a scumbag. Except that time, he didn't have the leverage and the Tidewater owners got their ducks all lined up and eventually told Jeff to go fuck himself. I'll be those Saul Katz cousins probably wanna strangle Jeff. Not just strangle him. Strangle him like those psychopaths do when they strangle their victim, but only to the brink of death, so the victim can recover some so that he can be strangled again. To finally close this latest deal with Cohen, the Katzes hadda shut Jeff out of the final negotiations.

It's a pitching match-up of over-the-hill Cy Young award winners! Tomorrow's the marquee match-up --- deGrom v. Nola! Reserve your tickets now, before they're all gone! And a Phillie transaction from today: Philadelphia Phillies placed 1B Rhys Hoskins on the 10-day injured list. Left elbow strain.

Cincy's Trevor Bauer, one of this year's three frontrunners for the Cy Young award, held serve tonight. 6.1 IP 4 H 1 R 1 ER -- ERA - 1.71 2 BB 12 K (ND) https://www.espn.com/mlb/boxscore?gameId=401226388https://www.espn.com/mlb/boxscore?gameId=401226388

Bonfires, 360 dunks and a cannon arm: The story of Jacob deGrom's college days https://theathletic.com/2026342/2020/09/10/jacob-degrom-stetson/https://theathletic.com/2026342/2020/09/10/jacob-degrom-stetson/ An oral history of Jake deGrom's college days, as told by his Stetson teammates and coaches. Can someone double-check this piece? I think it says that Davey Johnson --that Davey Johnson-- was the one who got deGrom to switch from infielder to pitcher in college. But I'm not 100% sure. I'm maybe 90% sure -- with a little bit of doubt. Because if it was Davey, I think I would've heard that story by now, which I haven't.

That marathon game was one of Keith's first MLB games. Keith made his major league debut less than two weeks before, on August 30, 1974. Also, that was one of the last games Joe Torre would play for the Cards. Next Stop: the New York Mets.

deGrom held serve last night in the NL Cy race. Nola was a little better last night, though, pitching seven scoreless innings of three hit ball -- no walks and 10 strikeouts. deGrom currently leads the NL in fWAR, K's, K/9, FIP, and ERA. https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/NL/2020-pitching-leaders.shtmlhttps://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/NL/2020-pitching-leaders.shtml https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=pit&lg=nl&qual=y&type=8&season=2020&month=0&season1=2020&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&startdate=&enddate=https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=pit≶=nl&qual=y&type=8&season=2020&month=0&season1=2020&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&startdate=&enddate=

Let's flip the rest of these cards over. Get it? Cards? Cards? Cards! HAHAHA.

Ex-Mets in the news: Pittsburgh Pirates placed RHP Tyler Bashlor on the 10-day injured list. Lower back inflammation. Atlanta Braves placed LHP Tommy Milone on the 10-day injured list. Left elbow inflammation. Philadelphia Phillies designated 1B Neil Walker for assignment.

Yes to Heidemann. Cardenal was no Cardinal in '74.

Also, it's a home uni and the Mets are on the road tonight.

Don't peek at that box score because it's quiz time! Six ex-Mets or would-be Mets appeared in that 1974 marathon game in the Redbirds uni. Name them.
