    I'm so happy I know who Pumbaa and Timon are.
  4. Lefty Specialist
    Boy, a healthy Pollack would be very helpful to the Mets.

    I'm not for censorship normally, but those pictures of Thor and Jake in MFY garb should be banned.

    Weren't half the Nats Boras clients? They haven't been to the World Series in a while. Correction- ever.
  7. Lefty Specialist
    All kidding aside, it's something you at least have to look at.
  8. Lefty Specialist
    But we already have Todd Frazier at third. (Ducks and runs)

    I looked at that picture thinking Mr Met might be saying, "So Billy, have you ever been to a Turkish prison?"

    Fear and Loathing with Lost Vargas - Genius.

    Good thing they're not in Vegas any more.

    "Putt Stops Here" made me giggle.
  13. Lefty Specialist
    Wow. None of the above.
  14. Lefty Specialist
    Worth kicking the tires.
  15. Lefty Specialist
    Well, they already know who won everything, so they take the top three votegetters and stoke up the excitement.

    Alderson as Monty Hall is hilarious. Everything else was depressing. This is not going to be a fun Derby.

    Let's not worry so much about fixing the strongest part of this team and start addressing the weaknesses.

    He gets Yankee money.

    Tom Seaver once said that Mays and McCovey were the scariest back-to-back players he ever pitched to.

    Yeah, that's my biggest question. Why do this at all? Most potential candidates scurried like cockroaches in bright light when the Wilpons came calling. in fact, no one did. it's a great job, one of thirty. Running a baseball team is something few people get to do. it's a power trip. etc. People like to switch jobs, try new things, etc. Why NOT do this, if possible? Latest on Mets GM search: Levine, Cherington decline interviews; Mancuso: Gary LaRocque Turned Down Mets GM Job Add Mike Chernoff to the list of established baseball executives not interested in working for the Mets. The Post’s Joel Sherman reported Sunday that Dodgers vice president of baseball operations Josh Byrnes also won’t interview with the Mets.

I know Mickey is generally expected to be safe, but it's not out of line for someone to ask about the manager. But Puma got him to say he really likes Jacob deGrom! Hey, I like Jacob deGrom too! Can I be GM?

It seems like BVW is leaving a TON of money on the table by taking this job. Why do that? Yeah, that's my biggest question. Why do this at all?

    I wonder what other GM's are thinking. He's got clients scattered through baseball, and he probably knows things about their players that maybe they don't even know. Does so-and-so have a secret drug habit? Is someone closer to TJ surgery than they know? Does somebody beat their wife? It's a strange place to be in. Will he cheap out on Jacob deGrom or sign him to a long extension? Many questions, few answers. Knowing the people he'll have to deal with, the Wilpons, will he truly have the authority and the money to remake this team? And if he doesn't, why would he want to take the job at all?
