#LGM has been gaining traction on social media since the 2015 playoffs, when the Mets lost in the World Series to the Kansas City Royals. It's shorthand for a catch phrase that was only created during the Mets' second — and last — championship season in 1986 as a song to help drive the team and its fans to victory. I remember us all sitting mute from 1962 to 1985, groping for some pithy expression with which to collectively urge our team forward. Thank goodness somebody came along during the franchise's twenty-fifth season to suddenly craft the musical answer to our prayers from which we could derive a handy phrase. Speaking for myself, I wasn't one to wait, often rallying my section between 1979 and 1982 with a hearty chant of "Struggle on, ye Metropolitans!"

Them 122 RBI would put him within two of the all-time Mets record!

He got chubby.

I'm big, I'm bad, I'm awful slow for a middle infielder, and I'm living proof that the Mets aren't afraid of really big depreciating contracts, as long as they make two kinda big really depreciating contracts go away. I've been an All-Star eight times, I'm quite possibly a drug abuser, and I bear the taint of an ex-Yankee (the mark of Canó!). I'm your new Mets secondbaseman, quite possibly your future Mets firstbaseman, and the notion that I'll be the first-ever Mets full-time DH is not an eventuality outside of the universe of the plausible. I'm also 36 years old, and I guess I'm a controversial subject. Remember when every columnist was writing "The Mets look good this year, but they need to get Alfonso Soriano"? The Mets didn't need to get any such thing. It was just that a former Yankee star sent into the wilderness coming back to join the Mets is an attractive story line to write about. Well, they better get writing. Because the Mets have finally acquired Alfonso Soriano, and his name is Robinson Canó, or something. But I'm more than that. This is my team of destiny. My agent is a New York rapper, I have a wing named after me at the Hackensack University Medical Center (and yes, apparently, Hackensack has a University), and Dad says I was named after the Citi Field Rotunda. But it all comes down to this: I'm 36. I've had a heckuva career. I've had 2,470 hits (more than Jim Rice! Or Pie Traynor!), and I've had 311 homers (more than Edgar Martinez! Or [for now] Giancarlo Stanton!), but if Roberto Alomar is to be any guide, I've well reached the age when a player starts to hack-'n'-suck, if you get my meaning. So that's the deal. All of that nonsense comes down to a single question: What do I have left? What do you think?

That's probably the sort of if they won't have an answer to until they need one, so I understand getting another shortstop-first option. Bad news for Luis Guillorme, though.

I'M named after the greatest mathematician in all of antiquity. And you know what my middle name is? "Euclides." That's right, I'm named after TWO legendary ancient mathematicians. Suck it. Apart from really interesting nomenclature, I've got plenty o' big league experience: 149 games with Miami, Pittsburgh, and Seattle. I also pitched for those Other Giants, as you can see above, with me pimping for Under Armor. That was fun, but it's kept me out of the bigs for a few years. What do I have left to offer now? A lot of people have opinions, but I want yours. And in honor of my namesakes, please show your work,

Somebody needs to change their handle to "Royal Weasel Now an Oriole."

That would be a pretty bold move with the Mets 12 games in front.

And by that measure, I, frankly ... didn't prosper. I mean, nobody denies that I appear to be a smart guy. A positive, forward-thinking and confident guy. But the proof is in the pudding. The proof is in the punch. And not a lot of folks went all that crazy for 2018 Mets pudding. 2018 Mets punch. I don't know if you're entitled to a mulligan in your first year. There's too much invested to give a guy an outright pass. But lets agree that freshmen get a little bit longer a leash. Well, I'm not a freshman any longer. Beyond that, the GM that hired me is gone. And the new guy has demonstrated no particularly need to redeem his predecessor's decisions. I'm on my own this year. How's it gonna play out?

Everybody say hi to Jeff W.!

His walk rate is generally pretty prolific, which is no small asset for somebody with an established ability to steal second. If nothing else, those are two tools Laggy has never really exhibited.

Well, you're Brodie Van Wagenen, you go out and get another righthanded centerfielder who gives you speed and lotsa defense. In fact, you give up three players for him. I'm Keon Broxton, and I'm that guy. Oh, you can scoff, but good defense has value, even in this whifftastic age. How that works out for me and Laggy, it's not clear, but it'll probably work out pretty good for Jacob deGrom. That's not nothing. So, how do you think this all plays out? i don't know anything. Even when I fight authority, authority always wins.

I don't know who you think you are, but I'm a major league outfielder, with two championship rings, and I'm possibly the father of genetics, too. I'm not sure. I'm on the fringes now, 35 and coming to the Mets on a minor league deal and hoping to win a job out of camp. But the truth is that I was kinda fringey even in my prime. Low power, medium average, good defense but nothing to reset your lineup over. But Bruce Bochy won two championships with me more or less playing every day in the outfield, so maybe he knows something you don't. Cool Gregor Blanco trivia: I have a twin brother named Gregory and a younger brother named Gregsman. And you thought Endy Chavez had a weird mother. But I'm not here for trivia. I'm here to kick as much ass as I can while I can. So be it. But how much ass will that be? If you have an idea, maybe you can clue me in.

Is Griff funny?

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5d/MikeBarwis003.jpg> How am I still employed by this team? Aren't I exactly the kind of guy who is first to get cashiered when a new regime steps in? Wright's career is over. How am I not getting more blame for that? Ray Ramirez used to get blamed or everything, and he was just a trainer. I'm the guy in the gym that's breaking all your favorite people. And ... excuse me ...LIFT IT, BOBBY! THAT'S IT, JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE!!! YOU WANT IT, BOBBY, YOU WANT IT!!!! Will it take the next injury and the next and the next before I'm sent out of town on the S.S. Roessler? Or will everybody celebrate how I turned this team into squad of scratchy-voiced mesomorphs? You've gotta tell me, man.

It's that time, guys. Scramble for whatever jobs you can get. It pleases me to see the Mets building up the outfield depth. At the start of the offseason, the Mets, had four outfielders on their roster, and Tim Tebow and a whole lot of floaters backed them up. Now it looks like Gregor Blanco-Rajai Davis-Kevin Kaczmarski-Rymer Liriano-Travis Taijeron opening the season for Syracuse. And Bingo has five guys breathing down Kaczmarski's neck.

Maybe you can put out a late night ad like ASPCA - "for only $20 a month, you too can help these poor suffering, underpaid ballplayers..." I'm not sure what you're objecting to here. Artificial controls on the market screw everything up. That's a conservative principle, or at least it used to be. Disallowing players from selling their skills on the open market, thereby restricting them to a nickel on the dollar for what they're worth, is wrong, and billionaires exploit it every day. Apart from that, the salaries of minor league players is nothing short of criminal. It led Ty Kelly and Matt Paré, along with Hunter Pence, to create just such a commercial.

1) There's a much bigger pie than we know about. 2) If Bryce Harper costs $40 million for 6-7.5 wins and Brandon Nimmo costs $1.5 million for 4-5.5 wins, most sensible GMs are going to go with Nimmo and try to use the huge among of savings to make up the difference at other positions. If Brandon Nimmo costs $20 million (or whatever the free market says he's worth, after all those sensible GMs bid him up), the calculation is very different. A bunch of those teams are going to be more interested in Harper.

Release younger players from the bonds of controlled salaries and and sole rights and the older players will be worth more money.

"Three for the Road" trivia: It ended it's brief run on November 30, 1976, at which time it was replaced in its time slot by 60 Minutes, which has been there ever since.

That's cool. Taijeron is also a new daddy. Any word on if he gets a Spring Training invite? And while I'm at it, any word on if it's correct to capitalize "Spring Training"?

https://cdn.newsday.com/polopoly_fs/1.19439212.1530029478!/httpImage/image.jpeg_gen/derivatives/landscape_768/image.jpeg> Dude, I made it to the bigs last year. And while it was mostly middlin' as far as performance, it wasn't without a highlight or two. I stuck around long enough to get 32 innings in, and I struck out twice as many as I walked. I mean, I came up from AA, man. And I there I was, part of a big league bullpen. I came up in late June and I stuck. The fuck. Around. I didn't embarrass myself. I mean, often this offseason, I found cause to say to myself, "Self (heh, heh), you didn't embarrass yourself." So, there I was, part of the squad, giving nobody cause to send me back down. But then they went and recruited over my head, and this offseason, I went from being, like, fifth or sixth on the relief depth chart to, like, 11th. It's a nasty business, but it's the one I signed up for. Competition comes and it's my job to come out on top. I hope to prove myself and come back, though. And you know why? Yeah, to get filthy dirty rich, sure. But also to get a taste of victory. THAT would be nice. Not only did I go 0-3 last season, but I didn't even get to appear in wins. Seriously. You know how the Mets kind of played respectably down the stretch after an awful summer? Yeah, that didn't happen with me. The Mets were https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/gl.fcgi?id=bashlty01&t=p&year=20184-20 in games I appeared in. That's hard to do when you didn't embarrass yourself. And I totally didn't! And they had to rally to get there! At one point, they were 1-17 in games I appeared in. That's 1962 territory! And, may I remind you a third time, I didn't suck! Listen I'm only asking you to believe in me a little here. I got my Tommy John surgery out of the way in the minors, and while I'm not trying to say that's the way deGrom did it, that's the way deGrom did it. So what do you say? Do you believe?
