Clayton Kershaw is totally out there! I mean, he's totally recovering from shoulder surgery and totally expected not to be ready for opening day, but he's TOTALLY out there. Heck, so is Greinke, if you want to get two Hall of Fame-bound question marks.

I think we can be assured by the high sarcasm content that Frayed Knot was not serious as to the wool and his eyes. As for Houser, he's started 97 games for a team that's pretty much been the class of their division over the last seven years. He must've been found passable at something along the way.

Good to see Scott's not a bitter man. He has some reason to be. Worth noting, of course, that a lot of water's gone over the dam since pre-2021. OE: Also kind of worth noting that the Brewers PoBO at the time was David Stearns.

Houser currently slots in as the Mets #3 starter, knocking Tylor Megill out of the picture for now. You could see that as pretty good news if you feared for the depth of the Mets rotation, but you could see it as bad news maybe if you were hoping for better news. News can be like that. His nickname is Doogie.

In "Juiced!" — the opening episode of Season Two of Atypical — the installment opens with a flashback to 2004 in which the family dad Doug Gardner is shown rocking a rather tasteful blue Mets hat. The fictional Doug gets some serious fictional points, as he's not only supporting the Mets, but supporting Art Howe's fourth-place 2004 Mets. He's giving it up for Matt Ginter. I checked to see if Michael Rapaport, the actor behind Doug, has similar loyalties, and yeah, he does!

Clearly the Mets hate Crows. Coleman leaves the system having never appeared for a Mets affiliate. Pete Crow-Armstrong got to at-least tear it up for six games with St. Lucie before he got moved.

Sure, career American Leaguers are playing the game in a parallel shadow universe. That's always been kinda true for me. James Shields' appearance on the ballot suggests a question, though: Who was the last active Devil Ray? Scott Kazmir? Is it possible that that the question has not been decided?

Interesting to see Beltran get the check but not Jones.

Well said. Plus "Let's face it ... ." I kind of like "To tell you the truth ... ," though. I usually find it used when the speaker is turning over one of their own cards that they'd rather not be showing, rather than as a pretext to hide the truth. 　　"Ready for the big presentation?" 　　　　"To tell you the truth, I don't think I'll have all my slides ready." 　　"Looking forward to the dance recital?" 　　　　"To tell you the truth, I'd rather be home with the game on." 　　"How's your life been lately?" 　　　　"To tell you the truth, it's been pretty much a shit show." The speaker doesn't end up looking good, but at least gets some frankness points. I tend to know where I stand with "To tell you the truth ... ."

Jeter Downs gets put on waivers by the Nationals and fulfills his birthright by being claimed by the Yankees.

Indeed. The odds against that wish being what they are, wise ones like yourself find ways to wrest meaning from what remains.

Wanting to see one more championship for your team before you die is pretty much true of every fan ever of every team ever.

"Let's be honest" is a pretty fair indicator that you're about to hear a pretty selective interpretation of the truth.

Josh Beckett and Brad Penny are part of group of three-to-five pitchers in my head: May or may not have started with the Marlins. May or may not have moved on to or finished with the Dodgers. Were borderline All-Stars for a few years there, but were never that great. Were nonetheless kinda known for having a superstar's arrogance. Possibly had a career-defining big moment in the post-season that elevated their profile. Possibly dated Alyssa Milano. Possibly enjoyed cocaine and/or HGH. Possibly soaked a rich team for a rich contract and an unproductive tenure during the second half of their careers. Were possibly involved in a couldn't-keep-it-zipped or couldn't-hold-his-liquor type of scandal. Are pretty easy to forget today despite having been pretty prominent/semi-nortorious just a decade or so ago. Maybe "Dated Alyssa Milano" will be the third column in a future Immaculate Grid.

I went with Medwick too. Pulled a 28 rarity score. https://metsrostercentral.files.wordpress.com/2023/12/screen-shot-2023-12-19-at-10.55.50-am.png> Should have gone with Don Drysdale as my .300-hitting Dodger, but for some reason, the name Drysdale kept eluding me. Despite his Hall-of-Fame eminence, he gets entangled with Don Larsen and Don Gullet and even Don Sutton in the Great Continuity of Don in my brain.

Texas Rangers broadcaster C.J. Nitkowski takes his trade to Atlanta. He says he wants to be closer to family. How do I tell C.J. that his family is from Rockland County?
