while I like Dom, he's redundant...he's a 1B (Pete owns the position, so he's just a caddy); he's a DH (not the hardest position to find someone that can do what he's done so far); he's a LFer (he's somewhat defensively challenged in the OF, and his offense there isn't even league average for LF)...is he really bringing anything (so far this season) that a Mark Vientos, a Jake Mangum or even a JD Davis couldn't? problem is though...Dom has floundered offensively since the beginning of 2021...so realistically, would he fetch more than a mediocre reliever or 5th starter anyhow at this point? Trading him at the end of 2020, he had value...but did he retain any of that value?

80% chance of rain for Friday night. Saturday's game is on FOX: https://506sports.com/mlb.php?yr=2022&wk=1https://506sports.com/mlb.php?yr=2022&wk=1 Sunday's game is on ESPN (ugh). I didn't realize that Joe "I like to hear myself talk even more than Tim McCarver did" Buck is no longer doing Fox baseball...I just found out this week when I saw an article about Joe crying that he no longer will be doing the World Series

thanks...I saw on several articles on sportspyder that he had surgery on his hand, but they didn't state how he got injured...last thing that I knew it was Rocky the flying squirrel that crashed into a wall and got hurt; I hadn't heard that Travis J also had gotten hurt

so...how did Jankowski get hurt?

speaking of Houstan...anyone other than me here watch the animated "Apollo 10 and a half"? Watched it with my family... considering it was historical fiction, they had a good amount of real historical information in it...I was entertained like I was a kid again

too bad it wasn't Myles Straw...he can fly and play a solid center field

Is Guillorme the 'emergency catcher' or has been lobbying to try? is this what you referring to (trying to make it sound like Omar said it): He said Guillorme has told him he's even ready to step in as catcher in an emergency situation, if needed. Showalter, who had significant time to study his new players this past offseason during the owners' lockout, said he asked around about Guillorme and the infielder has been “as advertised.” Added Francisco Lindor of Guillorme's all-around impact on the Mets: “Every team needs a player like that.” https://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/mets/ny-luis-guillorme-super-utility-infielder-20220524-ul7imeqcf5czvdl5pnpmm6dvci-story.htmlhttps://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/mets/ny-luis-guillorme-super-utility-infielder-20220524-ul7imeqcf5czvdl5pnpmm6dvci-story.html

She's probably thinking about me right now. hopefully she's a little less annoying when she's not acting like Flo...lol...personally I like the Doctor Rick Progressive commercials better...since my wife needs Doctor Rick tutorials

apparently Zinter never played for the NY Mets...he was initially billed as a top catching prospect, but was only marginally better than Steve Chilcot...played a total of 84 MLB Plate Appearances in his mid 30's for the Astros and D'Backs

Edgy MD wrote: What year did you grad? 1991...I took the slow route to my degree, graduated high school in the Hudson Valley in 1983...I got to see a bunch of the future Mets play for the Binghamton Mets play...Fonzie as a shortstop, and then Ordonez as well...Butch Huskey...Alan Zinter (catcher, think that he played for the Mets afterwards, just not successfully)

And, in case you're wondering what spiedies are (I had to look it up), they're apparently a Binghamton-specific type of sandwich: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1017420-spiedieshttps://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1017420-spiedies My daughter went to college there for four years and never mentioned them. Later spiedies are pretty good...kind of like a shish kabob turned into a sub sandwich... by the way, I also went to college at SUNY Binghamton, aka University Center at Binghamton, aka Binghamton University (and about 6 other names for it over the years) Each year, they have a Spiedie Fest and Balloon Rally at Otsiningo Park in Binghamton...it's pretty big for that part of NYS https://www.spiediefest.com/https://www.spiediefest.com/ https://www.bonappetit.com/story/spiedies-binghamton-new-york-sandwichhttps://www.bonappetit.com/story/spiedies-binghamton-new-york-sandwich

did anyone ask Mitch about his ex-girlfriend's cat? I'm sure that he's never been asked that one before...

I had never heard of the proposed I-92 until then...Anyone else notice that they drew I-87 in Vermont, instead of New York? Kind of funny timing on seeing this: my wife and I just traveled from northern Vermont to Maine this week for our 30th anniversary and there is really no good way to get to Maine from northern Vermont. Didn't realize that we were significantly north of our destination...I saw the GPS route as we were traveling and it wanted us to head towards Boston, which initially made no sense to me. Here is what I found about this proposed highway...apparently they had a lot of ideas dating as far back as 1944, and none of them took off... http://www.bostonroads.com/roads/I-92/http://www.bostonroads.com/roads/I-92/

Until this season, I have watched using the mlb.tv app...I cancelled during the lockout, and haven't felt like paying again yet, so I've just been watching the 6'ish minute "condensed game" on the mlb.tv app (condensed game, and 3 minute recap are free with a free subscription...plus they generally have a "free game of the day" which is occasionally the Mets

Waiting to watch the game on MLB Network...unfortunately, MLB Network had the Dodgers/D'Backs at 4pm, and only the top of the 8th in that game...

thanks MFS62

Not sure where I should ask this question but...I have noticed over the years, that the Mets tend to only hit well in Queens when the weather is warmer... So my question is: Is there a place to find splits based on weather/temperature conditions?
