I remember the second of a pair of consecutive highly ineffective starts in the midst of a Cy Young season came in Texas, and he was visibly crying after exiting the game. I also remember how mockably fugly the new Rangers stadium is.

I have an I Don't Care card too. It's funny how these lamentations suggest most of us have such a card of varying degrees of effectiveness, but Muffy gets no play in this thread, despite (1) leaving under the designation of He's a Met. He just is. (as Lunchie put it at the time), and (2) turning into a no-doubt All Star and MVP candidate for a few years after initially leaving. Lamentations are stronger for the guy who left and declined than for the guy who left and improved. I'm not sure what that means, except perhaps that I Don't Care cards are powerful talismans that require further study.

Not a ton, necessarily, but a ton of Syndergaard. Obviously, his home-growniness is asterisked, as is Wheeler's, having started with a different organization but joining as minor leaguers. I don't know how gut-wrenching Alfonzo's exit was for other folks, as the Mets sort of walked away from negotiations on that one. I didn't like it, though. No sir. Muffy? How about Muffy?

He didn't start on opening day until 2019, seeing Colón, Harvey, Syndergaard, and Syndergaard get the nod over him from 2015–2018. I fretted that such minor insults to his person would accumulate on the road to this day. This was mostly irrational, but it stuck with me. If anything, the real frustrating pricks must've been the unholy lack of run support. Despite the alleged fragility, he's been the Mets' best player almost every year since 2014, and damn close in the few years he wasn't the best.

Mets roster Central wonders if and when Dave Racienello becomes the bullpen coach. He's been the bullpen catcher since he was younger than all the players, and now he's older than them all, so clearly bullpen catcher has a lot more job security than bullpen coach, if less seniority and status.

One of the harshest things about losing an ace (and deGrom is an ace among aces when healthy) is how far you have to look down the depth chart to see where you are. You lose the #1 thirdbaseman and you look to #2 thirdbaseman. Maybe that's Howard Johnson replacing Ray Knight and everything works out for the best. But when you lose the #1 starting pitcher, the #6 starter enters the rotation. Right now, Elieser Hernandez, Joey Lucchesi, and Tylor Megill are floating around the fringes as placeholders, but their position in and around the rotation is a little bit less symbolic and a little more concrete than it was 24 hours ago.

WOW. My memory is that he was inscrutable, and trying to predict what he'd do was folly. The guy's cards were always close to his chest. Except, of course, for the idea that maybe he kept his cards close because this was the card he always knew he'd be likely to play. I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't want to play for me.

As you see from that poster, it apparently has Comedy! Chills! Chuckles! And if you can get all of that from your DVD purchase, that's money well spent!

Also, Jimmy is from Elizabeth, New Jersey, official Tony Soprano territory.

In New York, cryptocurrency is a sponsor. With Tampa Bay, cryptocurrency was how team pay salary! I tell you, in New York, you hit homerun, they give giant apple popping out of outfield. With Tampa Bay, you hit homerun, they give permission to eat outfielder's apple!

I am too, and that shot got my vote. Still, it's good to see Plummer's moment live on.

He and older brother Jim — who survives him at 87 — retain the record for most wins by a pair of siblings, at 529, 18 more than Cy Young combined with any of his non-cooperative brothers and sisters. He reminds me fondly of that run in the 80s when George Steinbrenner developed a yen for rounding out his rotation with the oldest guys he could find — Perry, Tiant, both Niekros, Tommy John 2.0. Good times. I also remember him showing up for an Old-Timer's Day or two with custom uniform top featuring the chestplate of every team he played for.

Yabbut, playing first base, carrying extra belly, at 37, in a winter league game, a year removed from his last MLB action, covered in ads from head to toe, and creating a dangerous situation by losing his head is probably not the swan song he wanted to write.

Fie on byes!

That makes some sense. Catching instructors are a good thing to have, but they don't have a lot to do during games. Bullpen coaches have a lot of in-game duties in their job descriptions, but at all other times, the players in their unit are the responsibility of the pitching coach or coaches. So a bullpen coach/catching coach hybrid is a workable way to operate.

They didn't do so hot with a few names. Fman, you've got to BE the offseason you're waiting for. I gave you old skool Dan Warthen beefcake, and I'm not apologizing.

Word.

Thrill to the future legends and future not-so-muches as we revel in the introductions from the 1988 AAA All-Star Game! [media=youtube]VHz_dndF35Q[/media] Come for the Steve Finley goosebumps. Stay for the hot, sexy Dan Warthen jitters!

Does this mean Sherlock takes over in-game bullpen duties?

That's a shame. Nobody stuffed a PitchCom into a hat quite like he did.

Considering the strong season that Vientos had in AAA and the one Mauricio has had in AA and so far in winter ball, I'm looking at it as more of an upgrade for Parada and Williams (and Alex Ramirez) than a downgrade for the Vientos and Mauricio. One must acknowledge that a disproportionate bulk of Parada's and Williams' rankings come from their draft pedigree, but Parada played two years in the ACC and a brief summer in the Cape Cod League, so evaluators have certainly seen plenty of him. It's an encouraging list from where I sit.

Gary, like many, jumps off the bandwagon when Springsteen stops using black-and-white photography on his album covers.

That's something. I thought the Mets were happy with Chavez as batting coach, not that moving to bench coach isn't sort of a promotion.

As Europe braces for war, a British socialite in a fictional country heads home on a train to be married. After receiving an untimely blow to the head, she's befriended and looked after by a fellow traveler — an older fellow citizen who is also traveling alone. When she awakens from a brief nap, her companion is gone (!!) and the other passengers deny having ever seen her. A Hitchcock film that shares several elements and actors with 1940's Carol Reed-directed Night Train to Munich. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/1e/The_Lady_Vanishes_1938_Poster.jpg>

Speaking of WW, I was recently thinking of Rocky Cherry, who was was grabbed by the Mets in the 2008 Rule V Draft, and released during camp the following spring. He didn't have much of a career, and most of the very modest press he did manage to get was due to being the son of a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. I could have him mixed up with another Rocky Cherry, but unless I'm mistaken, research shows that he ended up marrying ... a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader!

Man, stealing my Dansby Swanson-to-Boston guess is totally uncool. It was the one guess I was banking on.
