Well, I asked please.

Meanwhile, some people here are contorting themselves into triple pretzels trying to convince everybody, against all logic that Jeff Wilpon is either a competent owner or that he doesn't matter to the Mets fate and that Steven Cohen doesn't really want to take over the Mets. Don't "some people here," please.

Yeah, this is going to go pear-shaped early. And if this cuts Rendon out of the picture, it's probably the wrong call to make right out of the box. I'm not as concerned with what this does to Cole's asking price (Gerritt or Hamels), so much as what it does to Syndergaard's. Looks like it's the first players' market in a few years, though.

Fuck, they're dropping like flies. Not only was he considered the global iron man among catchers, he also was the most successful manager in Mexican League history.

Interesting. Basquiat and Fab Five Freddy both appear with Blondie in their "Rapture" video, shot around the same time.

Rojas had been the teams most successful minor league manager in recent years (probably the last decade), and had interviewed for the big job. He's part of the Alou baseball dynasty — son of Felipe Alou, brother of Moisés Alou, cousin of Mel Rojas, and nephew of Jesús and Mateo Alou.

Simmons had probably been the best catcher on the outside looking in among eligible candidates. There was a time after Johnny Bench was elected that the Hall of Fame didn't induct any catchers. It was as if Bench had become the new standard. Johnny went in 1989 and it wasn't until 2000 that Carlton FisK went in on his second try, the Hall taking an indifferent pass on Simmons, Joe Torre, Darrel Porter and others. It took six elections to get Gary Carter in. And maybe sometime in the ensuing years, the Hall remembered that there used to be a different standard for catchers — not to measure them necessarily against all-star hitters at other positions, but to accept that they still get more wear and tear and are responsible for a lot more before they ever get to the plate. Mike Piazza and Ivan Rodriguez were pretty easy calls in recent years, but I'm glad to see reconsideration of the more historical standard for catchers. Rick Ferrell and Ray Schalk had offensive numbers far below Porter and nobody wants to burn down the Hall over them.

You bitches forget about his 2018–2019 transformation from puffy to buffy. https://thenypost.files.wordpress.com/2019/04/chris-flexen-2a.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&w=618&h=410&crop=1>

"I know. Let's make a Jackie Gleason Show reference. That's still a thing, right?"

You know, the Mets cut Gagnon free way back on November 20, with Drew reportedly close to joining a Korean team. But there's been no subsequent report of him signing. Maybe Flexie stole his job.

Four sons. Two became producers and two became actors, one of which pre-deceased Kirk by overdosing at 46.

Pretty good minor league career did not translate. Plugged a hole in the rotation for a while down the stretch in 2017, and he was something noticeably less than Lugo and Gsellie were in 2016. Appeared in the disastrous season-ending 11-0 loss to the Phillies, giving up six runs (five earned) in an inning and a third. I hate eating shit in the last game of the season.

I'm on board the Folly Rancher Express.

Brad Broccoli was probably the right guy to sign out of himself, Luis Avilan, and Donnie Hart, But Avilan has that lefty thing going for him, and, in rejoining the roster, Brockport knocks out Daniel Zamora, low man on the totem pole. But since DZ is also a lefty, Paul Sewald and Tyler Bashlor are also under the gun.

Two Queens names in one candy bar!

Losing Kenedy Corona stings. He was on my All-Metly Sounding Prospects Team.

He's got six children and one a step-child.

While not really serious about the Céspedes, no I didn't mean to be misleading. I wasn't really dividing the season into two temporal haves, so much as speaking of the ebb and flow of the season. The Nats were the best team at the finish, but at almost no time from April to August would I have called them that. And yeah, at some points the Mets looked better. Sometimes a lot better. Just stupider. And so, when the Mets were low, they were lower. The Braves were playing better than either one most of the time. But the Mets were seemingly playing them even going into that stupid Players Weekend sweep at home, when the Mets stupided away all three games.

I saw some truth in the News article, but I think I recognize the Wilpons more in the ceetar post.

Pie chart representing the birthplaces of players in the Mets' system (before today's transactions, anyhow). https://metsrostercentral.files.wordpress.com/2019/12/screen-shot-2019-12-05-at-8.43.36-pm.png> I started digging at this when I started to suspect that the number of players out of Venezuela was approaching, or even exceeding, those from The Dominican Republic. But they're not really there yet. While the Venezuelans draw close to even in the lowest levels, not as many have yet graduated into the higher levels. I wonder nonetheless if the Mets are scouting there more aggressively, relative to the Dominican, compared to other teams. It makes some sense, as both the Chavez and Alfonzo families seem to be permanent parts of the organization. I'm kind of surprised to see so few Puerto Ricans also. Also, they surprisingly don't have a single Canadian. GOOD!

Yeah, I'd be happy to replay last season with the same players and a different manager. The Mets were the better team than the Nats for half the season. The Nats just got hot at the right time. Hey, maybe in the replay, Céspedes doesn't fall into the hole!

I think the Wilpons are, like, the fifth-worst ownership group in the New York area, so I'm not so sure the chances of doing worse are that low.

Dude.

Thirty films. That's a nice round number. No need to cast aside the early stuff. Let them stand or fall in competition.

Desi is not the answer!!
