if they dont like the rules they should start their own site. I see this as KARMA for 99% of their Mets content being so negative! The rules are in their collective bargaining agreement. It's not the writers that violated them, but the management. https://metsrostercentral.files.wordpress.com/2019/10/screen-shot-2019-10-30-at-2.42.17-pm.png>

https://deadspin.com/Deadspin staffers, given a mandate to stick to sports from the parent company who bought them up, responded ( or not) by https://www.lex18.com/news/national/deadspin-revolts-and-editor-fired-over-stick-to-sports-mandateblanketing the site in non-sports content. This included the prominent re-positioning of the https://theconcourse.deadspin.com/the-adults-in-the-room-1837487584Fuck these dipshits, I quit article that former editor-in-chief Megan Greenwell submitted on the way out the door this past summer, and which her interim replacement Barry Petchesky had the stones to quickly publish and feature with a strong social media push. Petchesky was probably signing his own death warrant at the time, but now his head has in fact rolled in the wake of the staff revolt. The Gizmodo Media Group are part of the https://www.digitalwritersunion.org/digital writers union (and fucking well done to them for that), wielding a collective bargaining agreement, so expect some well-written counter-attacks. As of now, all the content at the top of the page has been tagged STICK TO SPORTS. This has probably been simmering far longer than since the Greenwell resignation, with the writing staff openly questioning the business model imposed on the site as well as pushing back against attempted corporate editorial interference. Expect this to play out online even more than in the courts and arbitration rooms, because this group has not only learned to do their fighting in print, but they are also prolific as hell. And if more heads roll, it'll take them about two seconds to get a new site up and running and even some sponsorship on board.

And the Astros are going pretty meekly.

Justin Verlander is staring down the barrel of an 0-6 / 6.39 World Series record. "That's kinda bad." — Paul Sewald

Adam Eaton has a lot of Mickey Callaway in him.

I'm rooting for Houston, sure. On the other hand, they could be a dominant team for years that'll be tough for anybody to get past.

Berry dreams about doing something in the music industry. But he's not in LA. He's in Detroit, doing what folks do in Detroit, working the assembly line in an auto plant. Then he gets an epiphany: Why doesn't he create an assembly-line driven auto plant, but for music? He enlists the aide of a guy named Smokey, and together they assemble a small but committed family of composers, arrangers, choreographers, an etiquette teacher with a finishing school background, and they start to scout talent. In ten years they change the world of pop music, establishing a broadly accessible, stylish, sophisticated form of R&B and Soul. What's more, they churn out an unthinkable amount of hits, and they help turn anonymous midwestern nobody acts into legends. LEGENDS! [YOUTUBE]sTbb39iNNqo[/YOUTUBE]

After nothing was announced yesterday, I'm thinking the Mets have committed to Bogar, but they can't make an outright offer until after the World Series ends, and he technically becomes available.

Go, go, Guttridge!

Mickey and Yo make good subjects. deGrom without the mane, not so much. But I chose two deGrom covers.

It's going to be Armando Benitez. I just know it.

The Irishman is played by DeNiro, who has some Irish on his father's side.

So, is Houston going with Seaver or George Stone in Game Six?

He might just as soon end up in the Flush.

Is Steve Madden's current beat 'privileged young white people who've collapsed in the gutter during a night on the town'?

I remember early in Deion Sanders' career when he intercepted a pass late in the game and took it to the end zone while doing his check-me-out, high-stepping dance all the way, a TD which put the Falcons ... down only 35-7 I was thinking at the time that if I were his teammate I'd want to kick his ass over that. Turns out that was only the beginning.

I would expect it does. For one, he's a consultant with the GM on personnel decisions. For two, he's part of the package a player is considering pledging at least part of the next several years of his life to. That might be overstated, but I'd think a GM would be kind of shy about approaching players with leverage without being able to tell them who they'll be answering to.

Oh, yeah. Give in to the mystery, man. They can appoint Grady Little's perpetually confused younger brother, and he still comes in 0-0, without any "See you tomorrow" freakouts on his record — certainly not in a Mets locker room. I personally wouldn't care if they teased it out through the new year. I know it affects offseason player negotiations, so sure, you've got to make the hire ASAP and move on. But in the meantime, as far as I know, until they hire somebody, the next manager is John J. McGraw with a better sense of humor. Mickey didn't work out, but I still applaud the boldness of the hire. The next skipper could be a fart in a spacesuit, but he or she gets to put his or her name on a Mets era and it will stay there as long as there is a Mets. That's always cool.

The red-hot Nats: Because everything the president touches turns to shit.

Also, Track sez that Murphy isn't the only mystery candidate in the mix. This is thrilling.

Oh yeah. Things are going to get HOT in Flushing next summer. https://www.theherald-news.com/_internal/cimg!0/dt01prscslonzzgcoswmn8k0pq5iym5> Seriously, though, the guy has almost 1,000 NCAA victories under his shirt.

Asdrubal Cabrera, despite not debuting as a Nat until August 6, was 11th on the team in bWAR. He's also hitting .385 in the World Series. I suspect he must be hurt.
