    I'm okay with the older AL teams but Tampa Bay, Seattle, etc. are my bete noire.

    It was okay, just okay. Love and Theft, however, is pretty great.

    1. What will the Mets' record be? 82-80 2. Predict the NL East standings from 1 to 5: ATL-PHI-NYM-MIA-WAS 3. Will the Mets make the playoffs (if so, as the division champ or 1st, 2nd, or 3rd WC)? NO 4. If so, how far will they go? 5. Who will be the World Champion? ATL 6. Number of regular season HRs for Pete Alonso: 36

    I pulled a 3 today. Nobody over 0.8 C/AS Jerty Grote 0.4 C/MVP Ernie Lombardi 0.8 C/OUS Ramon Castro 0.5 3B/AS Ken Boyer 0.6 3B/MVP Joe Morgan 0.2 3B/OUS Jose Vizcaino 0.2 CF/AS Enos Slaughter 0.04 CF/MVP Joe Medwick 0.1 CF/OUS Chili Davis 0.1 Helped that I was living in San Francisco in 1982 when Joe Morgan made a big deal about how he could play 3b to get Duane Kuiper's bat in the Giants linneup and Chili Davis was the regular centerfielder. Joe Medwick and Enos Slaughter were lucky guesses.

    2 run lead in the ninth and Santana gives up a one-out double and he stays in to finish the game. No chance that would happen now or even that he would still be in there in the 9th in the first place.

    Yeah, Chris Hoiles rules though not as much as Turkey Stearnes.

    I pretty much agree with JCL. If the team plays well, there will be opportunities in the trade market if we want to make a playoff push.

    Both great movies. I'll add a few I've recently seen: Origins (based on Isabelle WIlkerson's amazing book, CASTE) Anatomy of a Fall, a French movie (with most of the dialogue being in English) that had me guessing all through it. Fallen Leaves (a movie from Finland with a couple of amazing performances). Also, like the two cited by Irish, very thoughtful. American Fiction, really fun and, being in the publishing biz, pretty accurate in too many respects.

    Opposite Fun Fact: When the Oscar nominations were announced we realized we had seen 9 of the 10 Best Picture nominees, all in a theater except for Maestro. So, Saturday we went to see the lone holdout, Anatomy of a Fall (really good). Have not seen the Indiana Jones movie.

    I saw it in the theater. Yes, long, but beautiful with great Robbie Robertson music and some wonderful performances. I had read the book - Scorsese cut out much of the birth of the FBI stuff which would’ve made it longer. I liked it a lot.
