    =kcmets post_id=132060 time=1689721830 user_id=53] I don't recall why he was scratched last time, but I believe it was migraine related and tonight is migraine related.

    Jerry Manuel used to answer any question that he didn't have a pre-packaged answer for with, "That's a very good question". It was a stalling technique for him to formulate a reply. He'd do it multiple times in every post-game press conference.

    Raises Robertson's trade value!

    We now return to your shitty season, which is already in progress......

    The Times has a piece up on it: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/11/sports/baseball/immaculate-grid.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/11/sports/baseball/immaculate-grid.html

    Immaculate Grid 100 9/9: Rarity: 180 IMMACULATE! 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 Play at: https://immaculategrid.comhttps://immaculategrid.com My first immaculate grid! I'm pumped! My rarities were Yogi Berra as a Met/Yank (2%), Tommy Davis as the 200 hit guy for the Dodgers (1%) and Jimmy Wynn, the Toy Cannon, as the Dodger/Astro (2%)

    After all that, my groin hurts, too.

    Senga really seems to need that extra rest. He's not a good pitcher on regular rest, but last night he had two extra days and Bazinga!
  9. Lefty Specialist
    Yeah, fell asleep before all the goodness. 4 in a row is nice but they really need another 10 in a row on top of it. That's the hole they dug in June.

    Grateful for a barbecue later so I don't have to watch. I need about 80 more barbecues, though.

    "Fourth place is not the goal." So I guess fifth place is the goal, then.

    =nymr83 post_id=130209 time=1687999464 user_id=54] I don't know how anyone would get the vibe that Steve Cohen wants anything other than to win or that 'flipping' the team is anywhere near the top of his priority list. Steve Cohen has enough profits. He doesnt need to invest his time in the New York Mets for that. His priority list for the Mets likely includes 1) winning 2) enjoying himself 3) improving his public image/legacy from being the guy who paid a gigantic SEC fine.
  13. Lefty Specialist
    Well, if the Mets put out the 'open for bidness' sign soon enough, a paid-off Scherzer could be very enticing to a contender with a rotation hole. This is where Steve Cohenbucks come in handy.
  14. Lefty Specialist
    Might be interesting, but there's not a lot he can do. He can cover the salaries of players being traded away but that's about it. I thought Uncle Steve learned his lesson last year when he got into Twitter fights with people. Maybe this is just a cleverly-disguised Chris Christie campaign event.

    A bad bullpen is not luck. It's design, or the lack thereof. Yes, they lost Diaz, but they have never made a real effort to compensate for that loss, instead recycling AAAA fodder back and forth from Syracuse. And a bad bullpen is exacerbated by starters who can't get out of the 4th inning. Neither of these things are luck.

  17. Lefty Specialist
    I don't know but I just feel like somebody should be punished for this game. Somebody besides us, I mean.
  18. Lefty Specialist
    No one is taking Verlander's contract unless Cohen pays 75% of it. Same for Scherzer. Move Canha, put McNeil in LF and play Mauricio at 2nd. Pham will have some interest, but trading him will seem more of a 'give-up' move. They were careful to characterize EE trade as dealing from excess.
  19. Lefty Specialist
    Nogosek- good stache, mediocre at best pitcher.
  20. Lefty Specialist
    Good guy who unfortunately only really hit for one month in the season and a half they had him. Big fan of Fogo de Chao- took the entire team (including staff, over 70 people) there when the Mets were in DC last year.
  21. Lefty Specialist
    I get Apple+, but I'll probably do radio anyway.
  22. Lefty Specialist
    Hmm. Probably too late for me to start now. Been to 22 parks: Defunct: YS 1 and 2, RFK Stadium, Memorial Stadium Baltimore, Veteran's Stadium, Shea, Joe Robbie Stadium, Turner Field Active: Citi, YS3, Fenway, Citizens Bank Park, Nats Park, Camden Yards, PNC Park, Pac Bell Park, Dodger Stadium, Petco Park, Busch Stadium, Wrigley Field, Rogers Centre, Miller Park.
  23. Lefty Specialist
    Oh man, fumft this team. They always find new and creative ways to screw up.
  24. Lefty Specialist
    Scherzer pitching like he heard me talking smack about him.
  25. Lefty Specialist
    It's pretty clear David Stearns will be in charge of the cleanup this offseason. Eppler's just marking time, which is one of the reasons they may not do anything splashy at the deadline. Buck, I'm disappointed. He always seemed like to most prepared guy in the room but he's made some inexplicable moves this year. Vogelbach's one-week 'vacation', the handling of Vientos, to name two. if this is a 77-85 type season, I don't know how he survives.
