    British woman is making a few bob as an advertising copywriter, when the wartime shortage gets her suddenly drafted into helping script a film to promote the war effort. Finding the world of propaganda films to be hamfisted and ridiculous, she takes the bull by the horns, navigating an unfamiliar environment to turn around a shit production just as Britain is turning the war around. In the end, what you get is an old-fashioned picture about making an old-fashioned picture. And hey, it's got Bill Nighy, so you know it's not all bad.

    I could use a club! Managing the Tampa Tarpons gets old!

    Why do you hate Ashie? I'm wearied by continued reports that X team (the Mets) can't trade for big league talent because they don't have the prospects. As if their players graduating to the majors and not appearing on prospect lists suddenly makes them untradeable. Every team has enough talent to trade for any player in the league, just about. It may not match up as a good deal, but the idea that a trade is suddenly out of the question is absurd.

    Reporting on a story that somebody else broke and giving the original scoop as your source is still reporting. Sharing in the report that talks "don't have much traction" and that the Mets "might prefer a free agent" is providing context. You're complaining that there's no context at the same time you're complaining that the context is so mitigating as to discredit the lede. Meanwhile, poor Ashie is dying for a rumor. He finally gets one and you hate on it coming and going.

    Why is "reporting" in quotes?

    I am reading what you type. I promise.

    I tend to think that no non-tendering him was the extension. Or that the Mets think so. The ice is thin.
  11. Edgy MD
    I don't know. If you're confident in the information, and it's relevant to the question at hand, you share it. And as it turns that he has the source to back it up, I'm not sure what the problem is.

    He's also not the centerfielder he was, and it created a political to-do when it was suggested that he might be moved to a corner. He wouldn't have the sort of equity with a new team to dictate where he'd play. But that wouldn't be much of an issue anyhow in Metland, where they've spent much of the last two years forcing a corner outfielder into center.

    Though the Failing Ultimate Mets Database and the Fake News Mets by the Numbers don't include him, Olympic gold medalist and Nazi humiliator Jesse Owens was ... briefly a coach for the Mets! Yeah, it was as a spring training instructor, but still! Here is as as newly signed player coach Yogi Berra and GM George Weiss celebrate his first day by attempting to cripple him.

    Thirteen months ago, the talk was all Andrew-this and McCutchen-that, and, well, though nothing came of it, it looks like he never fell off the Mets' radar. Ken "Pee-Wee" Rosenthal with the scoop.

    That's a real budget buster. It was either the ABBA reunion or a mobile-optimized site this year. Tough choice.

    Are we making progress on the long-hoped for Roxette appearance?

Sure, but this is information that Dowd appears to have gotten as a sleezy little bonus during the gambling investigation. He may have even passed it on to authorities.

    Somehow not set free by the Mets in all that emancipation they were doing was Angel Chalas. Angel had appeared for the DSL Mets 2 back in 2016 getting into 14 games and wracking up an impressively large 9.49 ERA. Oh, well. Nowhere to go but up, right? Well, Angel only appeared in one game this season, entering briefly for the DSL Mets 1, facing three batters, and walking them all. After he was relieved, all three of the runners scored, giving Angel an ERA of ∞. That's the sort of thing a man can't achieve without aspiring to it. He just has to.

    I'm all for he blowing up of territorial exclusivity. It's just one more un-American practice the anti-trust exemption lets MLB get away with. On the other hand, there is a team in the Mets' back yard. Or maybe their side yard.

    The world doesn't work that way.

    John Dowd works for President Trump, when most Washington attorneys wouldn't touch him, so I'm reluctant to endorse him for anything. And he's 76 now, and facts from days past tend to get rubbery as time recedes and arteries harden, but the Dowd Report is 28 years old, and in substance, it's held up. Every part of it. That Rose's defense is reduced to arguing not against the basic facts of the case, which he acknowledges, but against nuance of what he knew and what state he was in, suggests he doesn't have a leg to stand on.

    Braves: Jon Schuerholz.

    OK, then, I'm hot. What is ... Scott Rolen?
  24. Edgy MD
    Who is Ken Griffey?

    Andy Pettitte.
