Johnny Lunchbucket wrote: =MFS62 post_id=31335 time=1581289538 user_id=60] Last time I looked, my calendar says 2020. Seriously wtf I was asking whether it is time for a 2020 thread (like we do with other annual CPF thread titles) rather than continuing a 2019 thread. Nothing more. Nothing less. And certainly not a reason for anyone to get bent out of shape.

Johnny Lunchbucket wrote: At one time, there was a billion Mets blogs too but most of those are dead today as writing is probably more difficult than talking. I think speaking is harder. Or at least, good speaking. You could take time to craft and mold your writing. You could spend hours writing something that takes a few minutes to read. Or days. Or years. But speaking is in real time and on the fly. I think that the smartest people speak better than most people write.

It's time to break out some more from our You Look Familiar! subsets --(now in four, four, four varieties -- Space, Clarksville, Balloon and Silence). So without further ado, let's do this. The Stephen Nogosek base card: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49512142177_63bc90317c_c.jpg> The Stephen Nogosek You Look Familiar! - Space Variation: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49511915751_2b47fd370f_c.jpg> The J.D.

The **********s that run MLB apparently do whatever the fuck they want to do. Now they're piling on Cohen who's offering to rescue what should be the jewel franchise for acting reasonable -- insisting on actually running the team he's paying $2.6!B's for. Meanwhile the scumbag Wilpons are allowed to run the team into the ground even though they're metaphorically looking for dimes underneath the couch cushions. I cant wait for the NL DH and eleven more wild card teams.

There's a new Topps 2020 variation of Pete Alonso's card where the Mets slugger is a polar bear. It's a rare card -- one sold for about $2,000.00 on ebay. [FIMG=666]https://beckett-www.s3.amazonaws.com/news/news-content/uploads/2020/02/2020-Topps-Series-1-SSP-Variations-350-Pete-Alonso.jpg[/FIMG]

There's a part of me that thinks the Cohen deal isn't dead. It's the way Cohen seems to be so polite about all of this, as if he doesn't want to burn any bridges. Or maybe it's just my wishful thinking.

I loved Boys of Summer. Maybe I'll make Memories my next read.

=Gwreck post_id=31090 time=1580887618 user_id=56] They have won the division seven straight years and now added Mookie Betts. We added no hitters, and have Rick Porcello/Michael Wacha to replace Zack Wheeler.

Would anyone here like to buy my nice car? I'll sell it to youse for half price. It's the CPF discount. Only condition is that I get to keep the car and control it and drive it, even after you buy it. And you, as the owner, will remain on the hook for any legal liability I cause by still keeping the car. And I keep your money. Naturally.

Johnny Lunchbucket wrote: Yes like that And coming soon, Tommy Davis to be featured on a Batman Mets card. Wait, you must mean J.D. Davis, not Tommy Davis, right? Nope, we mean Tommy Davis. Not Rajai Davis? Tommy, not Rajai. Well how could this be, you wonder? Tommy's long retired, so he wouldn't be on a 2019 base card. He was on the Seattle Pilots in 1969, and was not a member of the Amazin' Miracle Mets. That rules out a Batman69 card. So how would Tommy Davis be featured on a 2019 Batman Mets card? You'll have to stay tuned in here. It's all part of our exciting new subset. We love subsets.

The chess match continues. Cohen uses the media to leak that the Wilpons have acted in bad faith. Wilpons, knowing they will never will in any court of public opinion, counter by reminding Cohen that they have the "Commissioner" squarely in their pocket. Bad faith? Are u kidding? My memory of the Einhorn deal, according to Einhorn, is that Wilpon was trying to set up a situation whereby down the line, MLB would not approve Einhorn and that Einhorn would forfeit whatever money he had put down to buy the Mets.

Lotsa news at Typewriter Headquarters - still home of the finest Batman Mets cards in the world - but not for long. We're building a new home to make your favorite cards. We're getting so many letters, so much fan mail here, that the old place isn't big enough to hold all your mail. It's like the Miracle on 34th Street with all the bags and sacks of mail we're getting. Especially after that Joan Collins You Look Familiar! - Space card. Wowza! Just wait until we start breaking out the Julie Newmars. Meow!

Will these be produced? Thank you. Joe Fonebone You mean like this baby that combines our league leaders subset with the Batman69 line? More of these to come, including 2019 league leaders. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49497911667_de0f5bcf1a_c.jpg>

I wonder if this is Steve Cohen flexing his muscle to get more control over the team. It's not likely someone would outbid him. Yeah this is the thing.... Yeah. What youse guys are saying. If the Wilpons don't have the money to run the team anymore, as was being reported... if they don't have the money or the credit to buy out the Katzes, then they're gonna have to sell eventually..... to somebody. If not Cohen, then somebody else. What a scumbag family they are with the Mets. We saw the same crap with Einhorn. They're looking to sell the team and keep all the money that would come with such a sale while writing in all kinds of sneaky traps into the deal that would let them keep on running and even owning the team -- after selling it. That's a neat trick.

Yesterday's Typewriter Chewing Gum launch of the new Batman subset -- You Look Familiar! went over so swimmingly well, that we're gonna treat youse all to another sneak preview -- a Super Bowl weekend preview -- again, from the Space line of You Look Familiar! Look for more of these in specially marked randomly selected future packs of Batman Mets cards at a store near you -- now in three varieties -- Space, Clarksville and Balloon. Have a happy Super Bowl. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49474027653_8ea16c6d42_c.jpg>

Looks like someone changed their vote from Streakers to Jog. It was 10-7 Streakers, then 9-9, and now 10-9 Streakers.

Typewriter Chewing Gum is pleased to announce a new and exciting subset to our line of Batman Mets cards -- You Look Familiar! This subset is further subdivided into two other subsets (subsets within subsets) -- Space and Clarksvllle. So without further ado, let's break out the first You Look Familiar! card, Space variation. Also, Bud Harrelson gets a face-lift and a video accompaniment. It's all happening on Fonebone Friday. The Terry Bashlor base card: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49468747406_1d363e6630_c.jpg> The Terry Bashlor You Look Familiar! - Space variation: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49468747446_9fbceb02f1_c.jpg> Bud Harrelson69 with a video introduction: [YOUTUBE]Df065FbBa68[/YOUTUBE] https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49468976792_5442c409f7_c.jpg>
