    I just bought one for my son (half-price!) and deGrom is now Jacob. And Noah is there, too.

    Heyman didn't vote for Piazza because he "looked the part". Idiot. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/writer/jon-heyman/25430742/why-bonds-and-seven-others-got-my-hall-vote-though-not-clemens

    Playing your divisional opponents 18 times. Getting the west coast trips over in 2 weeks (SD-LA-SF).

    There was way too much time spent on fans rather than on highlights. E.g., we didn't get to see Nieuwenhuis's HR in the 2d game of the sweep @WSH or anything from the 3d game but they showed Beltran's strikeout three times. I hope that we get a better record of a great season than this artsy-fartsy thing.

    Running the bases "as if he thought he was invisible". His terrible World Series. His statement about homosexuality. Thanks for a great run in the playoffs but don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way to Washington.

    As CF said: "The deal itself is not the problem. What the deal represents about the Mets and their offseason plans is the issue." Not a bad move in the proper context where he's a 4th or 5th OFer but because it means no Yo, no Span, likely Granderson staying at leadoff, too many expectations/lots of pressure for d'Arnaud and Conforto, I voted dislike.

    A step up from Kirk. Could be part of a good platoon because of his splits but he has a negative defensive WAR. BUT not as good as Yo or Span. A decent, cheap option with emphasis on the cheap.

    There might be a new model. Things change year to year.

    May 29 is now a night game thanks to ESPN. The Mets might lose two 1 PM starts as a result because the next day (Memorial Day) they have a scheduled 1:10 start at home. I'm thinking that they might move it to a 4 or 7 PM start.

    CF explains my point better than I did about it possibly being tougher to pull off the same trick. I wonder if other teams are planning on using that model (stay close, make a big strike at the deadline and save a half-season of salary, which might account for the slow free agent action).

    Set your VCR's: Fox Sports 1 will show "Tears of Joy" on December 27 at 6 PM. Also that night at 9 is a two-hour film on the World Series. I assume that it will only show Game 3.
  12. bmfc1
    I agree with CF. The Mets will add Ryan Rayburn or someone like that, a righty reliever, and go to Spring Training as the favorites in the East. I think that they think that they can pull a rabbit out of a hat again at the trade deadline, if needed, but other teams have seen that trick so it will be tougher to pull off a second time. I fear that they are relying too much on anticipated success by d'Arnaud and Conforto and the health of Wright. Getting a better bat for the OF would help prevent such reliance. Maybe they'll sign Span for a short-term deal. That helps "lengthen" the lineup as he leads off so Granderson can move down. http://nypost.com/2015/12/18/mets-checking-in-on-familiar-of-as-lagares-replacement/

    Brandon Phillips to WSH. He'll have more opportunities to extend his Citi Field hitting streak.

    On the eleventh day of Metsmas The Metsies sent to me: An eleven game lead in September A ten foot shorter right field Nine Muffies bungling Eight Bartolos jiggling Seven pleas to please buy tickets Six Kirks a-hacking FIVE N-L FLAGS! Four front-line Aces Three wins 'gainst LA Two shortstop's broken ankles And some memories of Dillon Gee. On the twelfth day of Metsmas...

    Sherman opines today that the Mets are better off with Span because Yo takes away AB's from Conforto.
  16. bmfc1
    Before Game 5 of the World Series, when there was really nothing to say but someone had to be the face of the team at the obligatory pre-game press conference, he represented the team and did so with confidence and class. And we don't know the extent of how his veteran experience helped the team, especially the young players. Perhaps there was no correlation or perhaps his demeanor helped in ways that we don't appreciate.

    "Here's $6 million. Take the season off."
  18. bmfc1
    I wonder what it's like to be able to walk away from $12,500,000. This frees money for Cespedes or Span.
  19. bmfc1
    I'm with d'Kong76. While the season doesn't start tomorrow, Heyward was the biggest prize. If the Mets sign Cespedes, or perhaps Span, + Colon + Blevins + a right RP, they'll be fine but it's disappointing that they didn't even make an effort here (because they would have told us if they did, as they did with Zobrist).

    Future NY Post back cover after Cabrera wins a game: "METS KICK ASD"
  21. bmfc1
    If Zobrist would rather play in the second city and not the first city for the team that was swept rather than the team that did the sweeping, screw him.

    I'm OK with the Mets making decisions for baseball reasons (obviously). They made lots of good decisions in 2015. I'm not OK with the Mets making decisions for monetary/Madoff-based reasons. After 7 home playoff games, all of the extra tickets sold in August and September, the increase in season ticket holders, merchandise, et al., it's time to put those excuses to bed. We were told "if you show up, we'll spend money." Fans showed up so do what you said. Why don't they want Heyward? Is it because of money or a baseball reason (e.g. they don't need a corner OF'er)? If Todd Frazier is available, then why don't they want him? Is it because they can't find a position for him or they don't want to add a big contract? I hope that they aren't planning on "staying close" again until July and making another big deal because there is not guarantee that they will, in fact, "stay close" and if so, if a Cespedes will be available.

    The choice certainly wasn't based on working for a better team.

    I hope that Pawlecki didn't just sit on the bench during his honeymoon.

    I'm really enjoying these threads. Thank you BG. BTW, some of my criteria: if more than one cover has the same picture (likely from the AP) or caption, they are disqualified.
