  1. I like stress-free games. We get them so infrequently.
  2. It was completely driven by Rusty. Really surprised they couldn't find someone to carry on the mission considering how much good it did.
  3. Playing guys out of position always seems to work out well for the Mets. Not. If Smith is going to be Alonso's caddy, so be it. A start every two weeks and a couple of late innings for defense. But he kind of proved he's not a left fielder last year. Jeff McNeil's not a left fielder either, but at least he's got a little speed to make up for it. The problem is that they have too many bats for too few positions. What happens when (if?) Lowrie gets back? Cespedes? Smith is going to have to go down to Syracuse where he's got nothing to prove. If he could catch or play short, fine. But they can't really maximize his value at the major league level. On the one hand it's a happy problem to have, but it's still a problem.
  4. Smith was Alonso insurance, just like Adrian Gonzalez was Smith insurance. I think Alonso is a keeper, even if he slumps a bit as the league adjusts. So if we can get a piece of value for him, I do it. I'm guessing Frazier can be an effective backup at first if needed.
  5. Countrywide Sports rabble-rousing again. Casey looking like he's just been told, "sorry, we're out of onion bagels". Yankeeness automatically disqualifies any cover. 1986 Doc for the win (in my book anyway)

  8. Looked like Harrelson was about to drop a baseball on Rose's crotch. In retrospect, he should have. But Keith is just so flamboyantly.......Keith.
  9. Can it keep raining until deGrom is off the injured list?
  10. Is SNY doing live coverage of the surgery? If so, maybe they'll interview the Dr. while the operation is taking place the same way they conduct interviews while the game is ongoing. Gelbs: "That was a tricky manipulation of the inferior vena cava, Doctor. Where'd you learn that technique? Is it okay that I'm not wearing a mask?"
  11. I'd rather sign Gio since it looks like he'll opt out of his Yankee deal today. He'd be ready to go right away; Keuchel would take at least a month. Time's a-wasting.
  12. Glad they got the W last night because I have no confidence in Sexy Flexy.

  14. =Centerfield post_id=7776 time=1555767396 user_id=65] My brother is a doctor in St Louis. He confirms that there are MRI machines there.
  15. I caught it on Wednesday but I guess my sarcasm was too subtle.
  16. Well, fumft. "Dallas Keuchel, white courtesy phone....."
  17. My policy: If it makes you look like an a-hole, don't do it.
  18. Tough to pick. I blame Familia but not Diaz. BVW for assembling a team with 4 third basemen and not enough in the bullpen. You can't have a horrible pen, bring most of it back and expect miracles. Blame Cano for leaving his hitting skills in Seattle. I'll adjust as needed.
  19. They're 10-7, but it's an ugly 10-7.
  20. Wow! Piazza with a train running between his legs! Jay Hook with a boundary layer hanging over his head! Gil Hodges and his secret plans! Countrywide Sports looks like the National Enquirer of sports....Revenge! Scandal! Secrets revealed! Fueds!
  21. =dgwphotography post_id=7458 time=1555459533 user_id=78] I just turned on the game. What in the Hell happened?
  22. Will rarely unfold his arms. Even drives with his elbows.
  23. What exactly is Gelbs grabbing for there?
  24. Hmm. Toughie. Hipster Thor loses, but I'm unsure about who wins.
  25. =Fman99 post_id=7347 time=1555413634 user_id=86] I went to bed when Fammy loaded em up. I can't stay up just to watch that kind of nonsense.
