    Pete Alonso is a beautiful, beautiful beast.

    No McNeil. No Conforto. And no Nimmo, who's not so hot this year anyways. Still, with deGrom pitching, the Mets'll probably score negative five runs tonight with that lineup facing Scherzer. . It'll be negative six runs until Alonso crushes a solo homer to make it negative five.

When I decided to do a Lobaton cover I googled "Vietnam 1968" and that famous Pulitzer prize winning "Napalm Girl" photo came up. Sometime after I finished that cover, I decided to google "Napalm Girl " because I had this nagging feeling that the photo wasnt from 1968. I had read up on that photo years ago and I vaguely recalled it being from the 70s, which it turns out it was. 1972.

If he sticks around, he'll start moving up on the list: Bud Harrelson 274 George Bamberger 208 Joe Frazier 207 Jeff Torborg 200 Mickey Callaway 199 Frank Howard 116 Roy McMillan 53 Salty Parker 11 Mike Cubbage 7 Well, Mickey stayed around long enough to pass Torborg, Frazier, and Bamberger. That's something, I guess. Bud Harrelson 274 Mickey Callaway 209 George Bamberger 208 Joe Frazier 207 Jeff Torborg 200 Frank Howard 116 Roy McMillan 53 Salty Parker 11 Mike Cubbage 7 it'll take a miracle for Callaway to catch Buddy.

    Roth is largely known for "Goodbye Columbus" That's a humongous understatement.

    I don't want to argue, but everybody's everybody and it was posted here. Claiming that we're unable to discern net payroll after insurance offsets is insulting and then sprinkling in Trump and Hucklecheeks aggravated me. I'm sorry. Yeah, everybody's stupid. But according to the Wilpons, not me --- the idea being that everything the Wilpons say is true just because they say so. And then I segued to Trump and Huckabee for obvious reasons. (Psst: Because Trump and Sanders do the same) Obvious to everybody but you. But you're primed to go after me as soon as you see my name on the post, before you even read the goddamn post. And why would "sprinkling" Trump and Sanders into the post aggravate you? Because if that really does aggravate you, then I'm inclined to do it some more. What are you? One of those ********** New Yorkers who live north of the boroughs and voted for the orange scumbag.

    =Centerfield post_id=10571 time=1558392866 user_id=65] I don't have the words. I can't even blame this one on the Wilpons.

    I bet Cespedes is at least 40 years old.

    And speaking of covers, this is the magazine and article that put Darryl Strawberry on the National map. https://www.sicovers.com/content/images/thumbs/0003060_keith-hernandez-of-the-cardinals.jpeg> https://www.si.com/vault/1980/04/07/824536/next-pick-strawberryhttps://www.si.com/vault/1980/04/07/824536/next-pick-strawberry

    These covers hit the newstands within a coupl'a weeks of each other. More than anything else, this derby is reminding me of just what a humongous big deal Darryl Strawberry was from about the end of his minor league stint through his sophomore season. No. Actually, since his High School senior year.

    Johnny Lunchbucket wrote: Collins was better than expected in a lot of ways but his time came and went too.... I liked Collins, too. But he was at the end of his rope when the Mets hired him, with nowhere else to go. The one characteristic any potential manager needs to succeed with this franchise is the ability to get right in Jeff Wilpon's face and tell him to go fuck himself whenever needed. But that's the one characteristic that Jeff is screening out for, more than any other. Talk about a Catch-22.

    Edgy MD wrote: I totally would. And you check all their boxes. You have no experience, no other options, no leverage and nobody else would want you. The perfect vehicle to receive all of Jeff's tantrums and nutty egomaniacal ideas. Know what other Mets box you check? The willing to work for no money box. The miser Mets made Mickey the 26th ranked manager by salary. All the headaches of managing in America's biggest market but without any of the benefits Mickey should rightfully expect. The Mets haven't hired a good manager in more than 20 years. Don't expect another one anytime soon. Two first place finishes and one good manager since eff Wilpon took over almost 30 years qgo. https://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/mlb/2018/08/27/mlb-managers-salary-rankings-how-much-paid-2018-baseball-season/1111776002/https://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/mlb/2018/08/27/mlb-managers-salary-rankings-how-much-paid-2018-baseball-season/1111776002/
