The 51s being tragically eliminated on on Labor Day Eve, Dario Alvarez returns to the big club, head hung in shame. Look at that face. Look for a guilty-as-all-Hell Logan Verrett to perhaps follow. The Binghamton Mets, continuing on into the post-season, get a brief shot of Vitamin D.

Pridie and Valdespin both returned to the majors following a PED suspension.

Nonetheless, this is probably getting at least a little overblown. Simplest explanation being the most likely, Harvey is probably just being politic and failing. Successfully coming down on both sides of an issue is hard enough for normal people, let alone a self-impressed jockface. Mike Puma's report this morning says that sources from both the team and the man say he's available to pitch in the playoffs, should there be playoffs. So what do we have that's new? A vain, over-celebrated athlete who has gotten the idea that he's smartest guy in the room when he's totally not. And that ain't new.

Chad Ochoseis wrote: s far as 2, Harvey has frequently shown himself to be a self-centered douchebag, but he's never shown himself to be a fool when it comes to managing his image. I would question that assertion. So would Qualcomm. I'm inclined to think, though, that yes, he will be pitching in the post-season, provided there is one to pitch in.

Edgy MD wrote: Best fat Met play since Rusty Staub in the LF/RF game in 1985. Went looking for this play and I found this mostly wonderful tribute video set to a song about Staub (with perhaps too many minor chords). The catch comes around 2:10. He makes the shoestring catch in fair territory, and his momentum takes him to the rail, and into the arms of his adoring fans. bNAykT_ZxgI It ends with footage from Rusty Staub Day.

Joaqu�n F. Arias is a name heard round Baltimore of late.

Fourth quarter boy now has a 4.18 ERA. And a slick way of throwing to first.

Nope. Mike Baxter.

Then he said, "But I sure know how to hit!" And Ka-POW!!

That play was incredible. "He was all, just fuck this shit, I'm throwing this however I want." � Ms. Edgy

Rockin' Doc wrote: I was responding to Ceetar's defense of the Mets ownership and his assertion that the "narrative" that Mets don't invest in making the team is "tired". I was illustrating that there was a reason why the story has persisted for so long, because there is a longstanding factual basis for the argument. It's pretty shortstanding, and certainly not decades. And of course, trend lines being funny things, the payroll spending trend is up since 2013, which makes sense.

You also initially stated that the trend, such as it is, has occurred over decades, when in fact it's occurred since 2011, over four years. The facts are bad enough, but the difference is important.

There's a lot of ways to describe the Mets payroll, but I certainly wouldn't call it flat.

Smart move putting Lagares in right, I guess.

Love me an ol'-style 3-6-1.

Robles still quick-pitching dudes.
