Is it my screen or do the Diamondbacks uniforms include blue auras around the trim?

If you think about it, it's worth losing the series. I mean, what price can you put on perspective? https://metsinpeace.files.wordpress.com/2019/06/screen-shot-2019-05-31-at-9.08.51-pm.png>

No, you're not. And I'm not trying to prove or disprove anything. I'm just trying to work from facts and reason. Canó was already the slowest secondbaseman in the league, and that feeds into declines in most secondary facets of his game, and we've seen that already. If that's the fact, he better be hitting like an MVP to make the trade worth it, in my book. And while he was still perfectly good 35-year-old hitter in the games he did play, an MVP he was not. And even, then, Roberto Alomar hit like and MVP the year before he became a Met, but his first season with the Mets, he hit like a sucker. And with him too old use to defense or baserunning as weapons, he was a bench player that the Mets were using full time. Canó could probably be a perfectly good complimentary player or part-timer, but at that salary, for those years, and looking to him to play every day, bat third, and show value until he's 41, is probably not the safest bet.There's certainly some factors on the other side of the equation, but not enough to make me celebrate that deal.

A person who misses half a season because he lost a leg is probably a poorer bet to perform than a person who misse shalf a season to train and serve stateside with the Marines. A person who misses have a season because he got shot in the head is a poorer bet to perform than a person who misses half a season because of a prior commitment to play Premier League Soccer/Football. I didn't support the trade either. There is plenty to dislike about it.

Because I am a creature of logic.

The interesting thing is that the trademark shouldn't really be available, as those that gave Tom Seaver the nickname were referencing a once-beloved-but-now-largely-forgotten cartoon character. [YOUTUBE]CAU3FNua3cE[/YOUTUBE]

Of course it matters.

=batmagadanleadoff post_id=11597 time=1559230367 user_id=68] We gave up our top prospect to get a 36 year old who missed a nice chunk of last season. Guys that age who miss that much of the last season fare dreadfully historically.

splurk.

Forsaking the bunt when they have the shift on kills another

Gosh, Mick. First base open means something.

Bellinger. Easy out.

If not for Ryu Oh, we might have scored a run Vargas may have even won The Dodgers would be blue If not for Ryu

There 'tis! Leadoff double by LaCock.

Runs, now. [YOUTUBE]g4-2onb62y8[/YOUTUBE]

WtF, Gomez? Heads in the game, folks.

Official scoring rules are stupid. How is that a triple?

I'm not sure why you think your right to an opinion needs to be asserted. That's not in question. As for rights, I don't need to be told when and what to agree with. Come on.

Tom (as well as many other pro athletes) joined the National Guard so he wouldn't get drafted and have to go to 'Nam. So let's take patriotism out of this. I find nothing wrong with using a famous moment of achievement after a struggle as the theme of that cover. It was tastefully done. And Joan Payson was the mother of the organization. It was born to her. Later Doesn't 100% of everybody know that Seaver was a Marine reservist? I mean, your statement is neither here nor there, but it's just not true. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3b/Tony_the_Marine2_1969.jpg> As for taking patriotism out of this, you brought patriotism into this initially, didn't you? The statement here as to the appropriateness of the artwork is from Gil Hodges, so your argument's with him.

Also, the whole country's weather is topsy-turvy right now with weird pressure systems in places they're not supposed to be, smashing into each other and creating dozens of tornadoes. Maybe the air in Chavez Ravine was particularly thinner than usual. I know I can't recall ever seeing Dodger Stadium play like that.

=dgwphotography post_id=11584 time=1559227686 user_id=78] It also seems like Dodger stadium was a launching pad last night. I don't understand how Pistol Pete's first homer went out.

The pitches they were missing did seem to be fantastic pitches that the batters couldn't touch. And then the next one would be a meatball. The only really good pitch that somebody got a hold of was the one Bellinger hit.

Nobody's more excited about this victory than the teenage members of Van Halen. https://www.floridamemory.com/fpc/ddughi/dnd0939.jpg>

I want to know more about the real Walt Michaels.
