What day is Buddhist Christmas observed?

Yohan had been designated for assignment by the Sox, so this likely was an impulse, pocket-money deal. Those are easy to pull the trigger on, on the face of them, but they create the same sort of roster pinches that made Chicago DFA him in the first place. The Mets have nobody with options left in their bullpen for Ramirez to displace. These problems tend to be solved by injuries or somebody being ineffective enough to survive a DFA of his own, or maybe everybody being so effective that they suddenly have value on the trading market. But a bullpen of guys without options costs ya in terms of flexibility.

If you've heard that diagnosticians are waiting for swelling to go down, I would imagine it's because they are. Why would anybody intentionally delay diagnostics and treatment of their own high-investment players? And then concoct a cover story?

Using that for what?

I guess I can see those two over Wagner. It's not particularly my position, but whatevs. More in line with him, I might agree about "We stink" though I probably disagree about who "we" are and why those people stink. I think we ought to have a more nuanced approach to defense than the binary "great" or not. Yeah, Andruw Jones won 10 Gold Gloves, but that was probably at least a few more than he should have, as we who might stink a little just accepted his "great"-ness as a constant state, when that's just not the way things work. As for Chase Utley, the next Gold Glove he wins will be his first. The way I remember it — with scant examination of the record — was that he had a good prime with his glove, but was largely pedestrian the last nine or 10 years of his career. A strong prime, though. Jimmy Rollins is tougher to get behind. He did have 470 steals, and that's not counting the MVP award he stole from David Wright.

I know the MFY are hated for their traditions, but they do have it right with frequently trotting out a recording and a video montage of MFY Fan Robert Merrill for anthem performing duties. I don't know if that's right or wrong. It's probably neither. There's a perfectly legitimate argument that the idea, such as it is, is not for the anthem to be "performed" at all, but for it to be sung by assembly. To the extent that a person is introduced to present the song, their role is not meant to be as a performer, but as a leader for the assembly to follow, as they choose. To the extent that they just cue up a zombie recording, I guess you can say that he's "leading" more than performing, but it's certainly phoned-in leadership. But maybe it's very phoned-in-ish-ness is what makes it right for you. How can it be much of a performance when it's the same old same old, nacht after nacht?

Number 4 is Kelvin Chapstick.

I kind of look at this offseason's non-tendering of Luis Guillorme as sort of similar. Despite Luis being a glove-first guy and Turner being the opposite, both were carrying a little extra in the saddlebags, both had seemingly leveled-off in their development to judge from the back of their baseball cards, both were overcommitted to look-at-me facial hair for not-quite-established players, but both had visible talent that you could reasonably fear that a new environment/organization could tap where the Mets had failed.

McNeil should buy him a car.

Number five is Mike Jorgenson, though I'm not sure why anybody would "cringe" over a 20-year-old who gets two hits in 14 trips to the plate.

Funny that the only baseball shot in that Reggie Jackson collage is an image of a weak-assed baseball card cut out of the back of a Twinkies box.

I wouldn't have voted for Rice or Puckett too, but it's 2023, they're Hall of Famers, and the world spins on. It sure seems small to be trying to downgrade these legacies now.

That's a weird career arc.

Could have gone right down the middle with Robbie Alomar.

Fun irony is that the Union and the Confederacy initially had debate over who really should have ownership of the song during the Civil War. As the song is set during a battle in Maryland, a border state, historical dibs were unclear but the North's claim on the song held. But deeper irony came from the reality that the South's anthem, "Dixie," was written Daniel Decatur Emmett, by an anti-slavery Northerner. "The Star-Spangled Banner," was written by slave-owning Southerner Francis Scott Key, whose Civil War-era family supported the Confederacy. In the end, it's culture warring, and not worth the energy. Stand if you want to stand. Sit if you want to sit. Kneel if you want to kneel. If you own your own team or venue, you can decide whether or not to play it at all. Culture spreads by living it.

It must've bugged him that he went to Yale, but Jay Hook was the coverboy of Sarcoscope magazine.

Apparently, almost immediately after his release by the Mets this past summer, catcher Oscar Campos caught on with the Tri-City ValleyCats for his third tenure with the club, and immediately hit two homers, one in each game of a doubleheader, on his first day back with the team. That's impressive as he barely ever played with the Mets, getting into eight games with Brooklyn back in 2021, three with St. Lucie in 2022, and just a single game with Syracuse in 2023. Had the team re-signed him, he might have gotten into a negative number of games in 2024, and they'd he'd end up owing the team $$. The "Tri-Cities" in the team's name refers to Albany, Schenectady, and Troy — which together make up New York State's Capital District. Other familiar names to toil with the ValleyCats this past season include Aaron Altherr and Garrison Bryant.

Undisputed best hitter on the Mets for about 13 or 14 innings.

The article continued with: Beltrán simply filed that in his memory bank and promised himself never to do that should he land in the manager's seat someday. From that moment on, he never asked Randolph for a day off. He just waited to be told to sit, and his teammates followed. “Ask to see how many players went to Willie after that,' Beltrán said. “Nobody. We could be falling apart.” On the one hand, the account is colored by Beltrán's own ambitions to be a manager and choosing to explicitly contrast himself with Randolph. On the other, the team did, pretty literally, fall apart, putting into the books one of MLB history's all-time great first-place collapses down the stretch.

Those interviews were always something of an awkward listen because Jay would pair elderly guys with middle-aged guys, so the cadences of the chat would fluctuate wildly. Good on Ken to show up in uniform, however. Wagner and HoJo can learn something there.
