Apart from where one may stand of the significance of the hat issue, HAT'S MORE LIKE IT shows a facepalming inability to land a pun.

He was. Stairs goes downstairs.

Your new Phillies hitting coach is Canadian puckhead and former fat guy journeyman* outfielder Matt Stairs. He replaces the recently discharged Steve Henderson. Wait a minute ... Steve Henderson is available? * 14 teams, counting the Chunichi Dragons

That's what you get for hopin'.

Up until 2016, the Mets had drafted position players first five consecutive years. I don't think it's true that they've ignored building a core of talent there. It's just that the pitching established itself first, for multiple reasons, some tying back to the previous administration, and some reflecting benevolent fortune.

It's amazin' that it's multiple days and that's the only emergent detail, a detail which was more or less leaked previously.

Three more bases, Indians.

That's the way to get a baserunner.

Bauer!

Trevor Bauer? Did he say Trevor Bauer?

Rajai came to play.

Chappy fooling nobodies.

It's a shortstop showcase.

That's what you get for turning the game over to a true Yankee like Aroldis Chapman, Cubs.

HOLYFUCKINGSHIT!

Way to show some heart, Cleveland.

Oh, Chapman. Now I'm totally not rooting for the Cubs.

Mike Napoli: future Met.

Thirty-four homers in the leadoff slot. Who do you think you are — the Mets?

Because I don't have much of an eye for industrial art, but it's so obvious from the lines and stylizing. And what un-natural act is that shrimp doing with the state of Florida? FFS, think of the children.
