    There are no pinstripes on their road uniforms. Just sayin'.

    Bruce had a knack for hitting home runs when I wasn't watching. He hit 29 homers this year and I think I saw three of them. Weird. Seemed like a good guy and wish he'd been traded for more than a dozen Chief Wahoo jockstraps. But the writing was on the wall when Sandy couldn't move him last winter or before July 31st this year. Which also means, don't expect a lot for Walker, Granderson or Cabrera, if they can even move them at all.

    This is stupid. And it all started with Ichiro, whose jersey should have read 'Suzuki'. Therefore, fuck Ichiro.

    Bleh. Not much there I like. And overpaying for free-agent pitchers blows up at least as often as it works.
  5. Lefty Specialist
    I have to think there's something wrong. Given his history there a high probability he's pitching with an injury of some kind.

    Can't spell 'Mess' without M-o-n-t-e-r-o.

    At this point it's all about avoiding embarrassment.
  8. Lefty Specialist
    Didn't watch, and now that seems like a good idea.

    Wright, much as I hate to say this, has to retire. If he can't work out his problems that are NOT back-related over the course of a full season, he simply can't be relied on any more. The Mets need a real third baseman next year, not some combination of TJ/Wilmer/Asdubal/Reynolds/whoever. Like I say, it pains me. Wright's been a good soldier; never came within a mile of trouble, was good with the media, never embarrassed the ballclub. If anything he was TOO nice. But the uncertainty about his status has messed up the Mets for two seasons now, because they're afraid to trade for an everyday third baseman if Wright is going to come back. David's made plenty of money, and I think if he can't play for the Mets he won't play at all. But there needs to be some certainty here so that the organization can move forward.

    Gotta play him every day, Terry. See what the kid is made of.

Picked him up for peanuts and he solidified the 8th inning in 2015 and 2016. Threw him in for the 9th inning in 2017 and did pretty well there too. He's been overworked, Red Sox, be careful with him.

    The guy pretty much had his life destroyed, but a nice gesture anyway. http://wgntv.com/2017/07/31/steve-bartman-to-receive-2016-chicago-cubs-world-series-championship-ring/

    Sox fans seem relatively happy on SoSH, so we probably got screwed.....
  14. Lefty Specialist
    Good? Bad? Indifferent?
  15. Lefty Specialist
    But that's the way the Mets do things.
  16. Lefty Specialist
    Hm. Looks like a two-step deal where we haven't seen step two yet.
  17. Lefty Specialist
    I think it'll be the dreaded 'bullpen by committee'.
  18. Lefty Specialist
    Three hours of shuteye sounds better than watching this.
  19. Lefty Specialist
    Trying desperately to purge him from the memory banks.

    It's not a political statement to say that Anthony Scaramucci is totally f'n nuts. He behaves like a coke addict.
  22. Lefty Specialist
    Well, THAT's an inning he'll remember.
  23. Lefty Specialist
    Ugh. Flexen wearing the dreaded Akeel Morris #64. Let's hope he fares better.
  24. Lefty Specialist
    Seems like he never hit a cheap home run. When he hit them, they went a long way. And when he was hot, he was insanely hot, like hitting 27 home runs essentially in three widely spaced clumps during the year.
  25. Lefty Specialist
    It sucks being sellers at the deadline. Go beat up on the Yankees, Lucas. Does Dom Smith get the call now? I hope they don't play Bruce at first.
