Mets down, 4-1. 　　"Honey, I think the dog needs an out." 　　　　"OK, I'll take care of her." 　　"Are you walking that way?" 　　　　"Yeah, why?" 　　"I was going to go with you. We need some things from Safeway." Family walks down to Safeway. Dog, who has grown rather immobile, gets towed in a wagon, but we put her out every few houses to sniff and maybe go pee or poo. We get to Safeway, and the wifey goes in for a few things. I find a strip of grass to put the dog out, but she just lies there until her mother comes out of the store, at which point, I pick her up and put her back in the wagon. We head back toward home and I get back to the screen, and realize my glasses are missing. They're just readers, but I've grown dependent on them. I squint at the screen and notice the Mets have fallen into a deeper hole, 6–2, and I feel sad, as well as stupid. My wife says not to worry, because I have backups, but shit, I just know I lost them bending over to pick up the dog one of the 11 times while I was out. So I grab my phone to use as a flashlight and head back out. I have to squint like a mofo to read the apps and get my flashlight working, and retrace my steps, taking time to search on any strip of grass we put the dog out at. The good news is ... I find my glasses! The bad news is ... they're all the way back at Safeway! The other good news is that the Mets got a run back, and Nogo had a sweet inning while I was typing this. The other good news is that I'm not going to ask my doctor if I need Keytruda. Let's go, Mets!!

Centerfield is where it's going out tonight.

Keytruda may help you with your cancer, but it will fuck you up every other single way.

Oh, that's what folks used to say about Sanchez' glove.

I wouldn't draw such conclusions.

After Johnny Bench got elected to the Hall of Fame, they went an awful long time without electing a catcher. From the beginning, it was assumed there was a different offensive baseline from which to measure catchers, as compared to other positions. But after Bench, it almost became like there was a new standard. Well respected defensive guys with a mixed offensive record that were welcomed in years past got shunned. Good hitters who didn't necessarily maintain their best stats in their later years wallowed in the back end of the voting. In recent years, that seemingly has abated. But For what it's worth, I first noticed that after Bill James observed it. He was more interested in the quick pass that Darrell Porter and Ted Simmons got, I think, than Munson. The 1930s version of Bob Boone and Mike Scoscia also might well have been inducted.

Staying low: Ron Hodges 2 HR 4 RBI in 1975. Are we restricted to one per post? Later Yes, as it says up top, we are limiting answers to one per post. Unfortunately, that answer fails on all three fronts, and costs you three points.

Good show. 40 piazza 120 1999 Since we already have the mostest RBI for 40 homers, I'm going to assume you mean this to be a guess for the leastest. A weak showing of 120 measly RBI.

Amazing to see The United States giving Japan a lesson in cartel capitalism.

I'm not sure I do, either. In fact, I probably never would have suspected such a thing, and wouldn't have started wondering about Ford doing some sort of back-door financing deal, if it wasn't for all the icky marketing of this latter film that's been seemingly targeted directly between my eyes.

Jim Marshall 3 HR 4 RBI 1962 Later I'll assume you are aiming for the "fewest RBI" column, but please specify going forward. Jim is one of the three correct answers for that column, and helps you to garner 15 points. cal sharpie wrote: Carlos Beltran, 41 homers, 116, 2006 -- most RBI Brilliant. Reaching back for that former record holder, and gaining a piece of the lead! Oooh. This one just came to me. Donn Clendenon, 1970. 22HRs, 97 RBIs. Most column. Not quite.

You get 15 big points for the mostest guess though. Way to go!

That's two guesses, hotshot.

The name of this quiz is MET POWER ROI! We're looking for the Mets who got the least RBIs and the most RBIs out their homerun output in a single season. So, some guy may have hit 10 homers but only driven in 21 runs, while another may have hit 10 while driving in 99. We're looking for those guys. Each answer should have three components: PLAYER, RBIs, and YEAR. Plus, tell me the homerun total you are answering and whether you're going for most or least. So you would answer, "For eight homeruns, Joey Sodexho had the least RBI, driving in only 13 in 1966. You get five points for each correct element (meaning one answer can net you 15 points), and lose one point for each incorrect element. As we proceed, we will presumably have answers filled in that are partially correct, so we will need partial answers to complete them. Hours of fun is in store. Please, only one answer (with up to three elements — PLAYER, RBIs, and YEAR) per post, no consecutive posting, and no looking for answers on the internet. We are committed to fair play. Also, the incomplete year of 2023 does not count. Good luck! Feel free to jump on some of the gimmes while your fellow posters are off looking at porn.

The Mets try to build on their resurgent homestand by invading Chicago behind the arm of Kodai Senga. Drew Smyley, who has built a long career out of stubborn mediocrity, is off to a terrific start for the Cubs, and he defends the honor of the Wrigley faithful in this one. I imagine the Mets aren't going to set a record in terms of most opposing lefthanded starters, but it kind of feels that way. Game starts at 7:40 which I suppose will never really feel right at Wrigley. But since pretty much the entire league is filled with guys who were born after the lights went up at Wrigley, I guess it's actually a thing. The lights at Wrigley are older than most parks at this point, I suppose. Speaking of lefties, check out Mr. Met muscling up! https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CRiv4hPVAAEWgVT.jpg>
