Is it too late for a dark-horse late entry in the Tabloid Derby?
-
I'm a little suspicious about all this. It's just a weird arrangement, saying that Fred and Jeff are still running things for five years. If you're going to buy the Mets, why not just do it? Why have this bizarre interregnum where there are lame-duck owners? I need a little more confirmation before I get too excited. But yeah, I'm definitely determined to stay alive for five years and outlast the Wilpons.

There Used to Be a Met Guy Right Here 2019

Plawecki can't be any worse than Nido, can he? -
Count me among the Hader Haters.

2. Pete Alonso. Better than mooks like us deserve, as a person and a player.
-
So we go from the oldest pitching coach in the game to probably the youngest. Always liked Hefner, seemed to get the most out of what he had. Hope it translates.
-
Pinstripes and royal blues. Ditch the rest.
-
Not happening. Baseball in Florida is just not a draw. Never has been (except for Spring Training).
-
Eh, it's gonna be Jeter, Jeter, Jeter nonstop until next July. Hope it rains at his induction.
-
I went all-Alonso. And I loved Overruled.
-
I don't like CF's on the wrong side of 30.
-
That Post front page with Clinton is disturbing on many levels. Many.
-
Michigan connection All you need to know.
-
'Break A Leg' for Tejada is, well, cold.
-
'Naked Citi' made me laugh.
-
Too many good choices. Hard to decide.
-
Sophomore jinx. But if he hits, say, 38 or so, I won't be surprised. They'll try to pitch him differently, and I expect he'll be pitched around quite a bit. Important to have a good power bat behind him ready to clean up.

Millan choking way up on the bat even when he's posing for a picture.

=G-Fafif post_id=25979 time=1572911456 user_id=55] DeGrom and Alonso are CYA and ROY finalists, respectively. Jake's competition is Ryu and Scherzer. Pete will beat Tatis and M-M-M-Mike Soroka.

Now Pitching for the Mets, Perhaps
Lefty Specialist replied to G-Fafif's topic in New York Mets Talk
I didn't need any help forgetting about Walker Lockett. -
=Centerfield post_id=26045 time=1572982342 user_id=65] There is no chance Diaz (or anyone else) would be named the closer for 2020 while we are still in 2019. I think eventually, he will get that designation, but not until March of 2020. You will hear: *completely different pitcher *may have been tipping his pitches *fixed a flaw in his delivery *different mindset after experiencing a year in NY None of that will mean much, unless we hear: *the ball feels back to normal or *debuting his new changeup

Watching Nationals at the White House
Lefty Specialist replied to Edgy MD's topic in New York Mets Talk
=batmagadanleadoff post_id=26032 time=1572970522 user_id=68] It wasnt just a shutdown thing. Several visiting teams got the fast food treatment, including some college teams. And even the shutdown wasnt a legit excuse for fast food. The WH could've ordered out from anywhere. -
'Folly Rancher' is inspired.
-
Yeah, Diaz showed his ineptitude early (and often).

My biggest question about the Beltran hiring is this: Does he still have that gigantic mole on his ear? [YOUTUBE] [/YOUTUBE]
