    Does anyone have Grimace's number?

    I hat baseball.

    Pretty generic, but I prefer that to embarrassing...which these certainly had the potential to be. I do appreciate the background texture. It gives them a little grit that fits in with the style of NYC. https://i.imgur.com/lT8xXgd.png>

    The season is very young…but this team is tough to watch.

    Too much time and dough for a guy that has never thrown a MLB pitch. I'm fine with the Dodgers taking that risk instead of us.

    Frayed Knot wrote: Don't have a handle on any of the other four names involved, but I think we all know how this plays out: Kelenic finds himself by May and by July has agreed to an eight year deal buying out all his arb years plus the first few FA seasons for well under market rates. Four All Star games later he'll be a FA in his early 30s as the Braves won't resign him. After that, the Mets will sign him to a six year deal, he'll suck the first year, be injured for the second, be suspended for PEDs in the third then the Mets will pay him to play somewhere else for the remainder (prolly SEA). He'll be part of a World Championship team for SEA at age 38 and Heyman declares SEA the winner of the original deal.

    I've considered the idea of taking the family on a London vaca centered around that weekend, but as I add up the costs, my head spins. Maybe...but prolly not.

    I liked it. It's not a great movie, but it made me remember what a fan of David Fincher's direction I am. The dark and light, zoom/focus shots, elaborate camera follows...the guy has a technique that I love. It made me go down a rabbit hole of his music videos and I realized the guy basically defined what sex and sensuality was to me as a 14 year old. The only gripe I really had was that there wasn't a lot of origin on why I should root for this guy doing what he did. For such a cold and calculated guy, I didn't believe in his motivation for his actions. It is based on a foreign graphic novel that I haven't read, so maybe it was being true to how that is presented. But overall, I enjoyed it. Yes, the fight scene was great and The Smiths were a good choice.

    =Gwreck post_id=140582 time=1699296357 user_id=56] Counsell to the Cubs.

    I was being half-sarcastic, too.

    =kcmets post_id=140425 time=1698969664 user_id=53] deGrom got his ring. 2-0 2.67 ERA whopping 30 innings pitched. He and his family must swell with pride.
  14. TransMonk
    I don't think I could have picked a less appetizing WS...though, I don't hate either of these teams, so at least I'm not rooting against anyone. Scherzer was never anything more than a hired gun for us. He wasn't here long enough for me to consider his winning elsewhere. Jake on the other hand...
  15. TransMonk
    I've always considered MIL a AAAA team.
  16. TransMonk
    Out of that group, I prefer Maddon.
  17. TransMonk
    I'm not a Buck apologist, but I'm not convinced there is anyone out there who is a definite improvement upon him...especially in 2024. Counsell? Meh. He can take a good, healthy team and get them to 90 wins, but he has been pretty terrible at doing much more when the calendar flips to October. Is that enough? Not for me.

    Twitter scuttle is saying Eppler is being investigated by MLB for improper IL usage. https://nypost.com/2023/10/05/billy-epplers-mets-resignation-came-amid-mlb-investigation/https://nypost.com/2023/10/05/billy-epplers-mets-resignation-came-amid-mlb-investigation/

    Hope they have a plan.
  20. TransMonk
    Yes. I feel like he is a net-positive known quantity. I'm not interested in cycling through the Callaways and Rojases again.

    I endorse this move.

    I'm ashamed to admit that I've been playing this game since this thread started and today was my first Immaculate. I usually stop playing once I get one wrong. I'm an immaculate or nothing kind of guy. ⚾️ Immaculate Grid 160 9/9: Rarity: 173 IMMACULATE! 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 Play at: https://immaculategrid.comhttps://immaculategrid.com @immaculategrid x @baseball_ref

    Target Field is a really nice park. They do a great job of honoring ex-players and not just the ones in the HOF or with retired numbers. I love that the stadium is located right downtown. The food was decent and it was easy to get around the place. My expectations for the game were low and the Mets didn't disappoint. It was great to see the youngsters play, but some of them look absolutely lost at the plate. It seemed like Senga bounced the majority of his forkballs. The walks killed us and throwing the ball around the field defensively looks like the Bad News Bears. That said, the Locastro diving catch was amazing.

    Here at Target Field. A very lovely park. An usher is giving out Mets/Twins baseball cards. I got Teufel. There are many sheriff officers roaming the grounds with assault rifles. I thought for a second that was just how Minny police roll. A better guess is that Chris Christie is in the park tonight.
