  2. Lol. Wonder where that $2500 for every Met win that went to the Katz Institute for Women's Health will go to now?
  3. These are before the deal fell apart, too. I was always "He's going to give them billions and they'll STILL control the team for 5 years? How is that possible?"
  4. AAAA. Seen enough.
  5. The Rays knocked off the two most hated teams in baseball back to back and belly to belly. That alone earns them a ring. Go Myliobatiformes!

Later He seemed to smile quite a bit after parking that comment in the right field seats for the home run that sent them to the World Series.
  7. I'd love to see the Dodgers hit a grand slam in the 15th inning of tonight's game.
  8. The play that affected the design of the 10 dollar bill. Saw it on Broadway, loved it, signed up for Disney+ just to see it again. Loved it again.
  9. Cody Bellinger is becoming this generation's loathsome Los Angeles "pretty boy" camera pet. I think he only demonstrates enthusiasm when he knows the camera is on him and the mention in another thread of Steve Garvey reminded me of this. Later Bellinger just took that comment and parked it in the right field seats.
  10. Excellent. https://www.statesidestills.com/prodimages/troyer_verne_austin_powers_10079l.jpg>
  11. Went there drunk with friends once, and only once. Skinned my elbow on something but was otherwise undamaged. But I swore I'd never go again. There was a lot of "Whatsamatter, you CHICKEN????' going on.
  12. The Athletic usually has discounted subscriptions. I got mine for $36 a year. I've broken down and subscribed to a few things this year, given the fact that journalism is under attack from so many sides.

There's a lot of uncertainty about next season. Well, if there's one guy who can afford to pay top free-agent money for a player to perform in an empty stadium all year, that guy is Steve Cohen.
  14. The sooner the better. Help the Wilpons pack if you have to.
  15. Steve. F@cking. Cohen.
  16. But seriously, who would plunk down money on 2021 season tickets? We still haven't gotten a refund for our June 2020 tickets. Steve Cohen better Roto-Rooter Ye Auld Customer Service department while he's at it.
  17. This auld season should be forgot. The dying gasp of Wilpon foolishness and incompetence. Begone, ye wretched refuse.
  18. I was struck by how....typical this story was. Gritty band about to break big, dumps the one who wants to stay punk rather than go pop. Early '80's levels of drugs and partying. The health scare. The loss of a private life and eternities on the road. The pressure to follow up after a blowout debut album. Going from holes in the wall to stadiums opening for the friggin Police. Betraying their manager when they became big. Fights over who's the most important band member and splitting into sides. Then the collapse and breakup. The arc just writes itself. But I'd forgotten just how many good songs they had. It was an interesting watch. Loved the story of returning the white towels to Macy's after the first album cover shoot.
  19. As the kids say, OMG. If Jeff Wilpon had any role in this team going forward I would have had an aneurysm. What an ass. Ann Richards' line never fit anyone better; "He was born on third base and thought he hit a triple". He should just take the damn money and go hide in an eastern European country.

He's not necessarily a villain (although, y'know, Cano/Diaz), but I would think the new guy with infinite resources is going to want a guy he picks running the show. And being a part owner and doing a proctological examination of the entire organization as due diligence in making the offer, I'd expect some changes. Rojas shouldn't get too comfortable either.
  21. It's a sigh of relief rather than squeals of joy. There's much that needs to be fixed. Money isn't everything; you need baseball smarts, too. I hope Cohen isn't a meddling owner and that he hires the right people and lets them do their jobs. Oh, and keeps the sexual harassment to a minimum. Brodie probably shouldn't get too attached to the office furniture.
  22. I'll take the super-rich real Met fan over the celebrity fronts for not-nearly-as-rich faceless investors any day of the week.
  23. That's the problem with being a sharp-dressed man.
