Gary, Ronnie, I.M. Pei (and a couple of associates) didn't design the Louvre. They designed an underground complex and a glass pyramid extension of the Louvre. The Louvre goes back to 1793. I know you dudes are Ivy Leaguers and shit, but come on, now.

I imagine he'd refuse that assignment, become a freegie, and collect on the rest of his contract before announcing his retirement.

Gary was waxing poetically at length about how muscular Tyler O'Neill is, and then Tyler took his hat off and Mrs. Edgy said, "He looks like a tool." I pulled a muscle in my back earlier in the day, and I think that when I'm in pain, she expresses her sympathies by dissing other men, but his hair is pretty goofy.

Strange to see that only two guys in this Cardinal lineup have been hitting so far. They're in first place.

Do it, Mets.

Well we're scoreless through three and a half. Two hits for the Mets, and one for the Birds. Canó just ended the Mets' half of the inning with an egg popup to the pitcher.

NAME: Taijuan Walker AGE: 29 POSITION: Starting Pitcher Guy NUMBER: 99 LUFTBALLONS: 99 NICKNAME: "Tai-Weezy" fWAR IN 2021: 1.4 ZIPS PROJECTION FOR 2022: 1.1 Hey, folks! It's time for the next installment of the series no one is talking about! But the forum is dead and the FCC says we have to air something or lose our license! I'm Taijuan Walker. I'm a starting pitcher. And in 2021, I was a legitimate All-Star in my first half, and little more than a replacement player in the second half. I was probably hurt. I should know whether I was or wasn't, but let's just say that I was. So I'm back in 2022, and my season so far has been a microcosm — if not a micro-microcosm — of 2021. I contributed two lovely perfect innings, and I disappeared. But time plows on and so must we. This afternoon in St. Louis, I threw 64 pitches in a simulated game, and Burt Sugarman or whoever our manager is says I'm going to be back in the rotation this weekend! That could totally happen! What happens after that? I say the arch-filled sky is the limit. But reality has other things to say. What say you?

FreeDom!!!

Interesting that our first two PotW are starting pitchers, despite their shorter early season workdays. And neither of them are deGrom or Scherzer.

We're maybe going to have to be forced to figure out who has the Mets pitching record for consecutive strikeouts to start a Mets career.

I'm paid up through the 17th.

More importantly, neither has Dilson Herrera.

Some Joely drama is good Joely drama.

Check that bat for cork.

Isn't it really a "down-up"? I'd love to see the data behind inning breaks being a concern — with regard to pitcher effectiveness or pitcher health. I'd never heard of either version of the term until Luis Rojas.

Waddaya think of my new idea — working out J.D. as a catcher? The Clint Hurdle Option.

J.D. Boomage!!

Lugo news.

Hey, Megilly is back out there!

A true Stepford wife would indulge that shit.

The Rudi Stein Strategy has it's ups and downs. I was OK with Janky, too. Canha, not so much.

Canha should have been pulled for Nimmini.

Great to have another run home with the bases loaded and one out, but I'm guessing the long layover is gonna get Megilla pulled.

Guillorme is giving a Barry Corbin vibe now.

Seventy-eight pitches and 55 of them for strikes, and he's just put Walker behind him. You'd send him out for the seventh, right?
