    cocky from yesterday's immaculation, i rocked a fucking two today. awful. i could've had a three, but i put juan samuel in the wrong spot - and he would have worked in two of 'em! simply awful.
  2. metsmarathon
    i kinda expected that, actually, at the start of the season. its just that i expected their records to look quite different.

    if we can't catch the braves, we can catch the nationals instead!

    Fucking hell. Oh, fucking hell.

    Immaculate Grid 87 9/9: IMMACULATE! 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 Yass! Howie Kendrick (8) Bryan Harvey (3) and Nolan Ryan (44) Andre Dawson (5) starlin Castro (18) maddux (33) Scherzer (52) piazza (13) Seaver (58) Castro was my biggest guess. I was worried I was conflating him with someone else. Whew.

    i'm paying attention. it's all i got, aside from a futile hope of being somewhere in the scrum of a distant second place for ottoneu, if my pitching ever stops sucking. (ahem sandy)

    I thought I had a shot today, then whiffed on my first guess. Immaculate Grid 86 7/9: ⬜️⬜️🟩 🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩 O's/a's: I was thinking Miguel tejada and my brain gave me Melvin mora. A's/twins: I could t quite pull terry steinbach out of the deepest recesses of my brain and stumbled with Ted Lilly, who seems like he should've been a twins pitcher. Rickey finished off the a's row. Robbie alomar (2%) Dave Winfield (9%) and Gwynn filled my padres obligation. Frank Robinson (23%) was my oriole masher. Hopefully I do better next time.

    Immaculate Grid 85 3/9: ⬜️⬜️🟩 ⬜️⬜️🟩 ⬜️⬜️🟩 I am so bad at this.

    i find myself wishing i had more of a comprehensive knowledge of loogies, as i figure they tick a lot of the boxes on multi-team players. granted, i whiffed on a bunch of met-connected correct answers today, so really, I just suck at this.
  10. metsmarathon
    man, i'm struggling to connect teams to players. just utterly failing to connect the dots. there's probably a hundred guys who played for both the dodgers and the white sox, and i cannot think of one. not even the obvious choices!

    =batmagadanleadoff post_id=129258 time=1687275241 user_id=68] ... the way to fix this bad Mets run is to retire Gary Carter's uniform number.
  12. metsmarathon
    And as I post about it, the feed is now interrupted by a “we're having technical difficulties” splash screen with super cool generic upbeat music. I guess that's better than the Mets some nights.

    Is it just me (or Directv) but the audio on SNY is glitchy AF.
  14. metsmarathon
    Goddamnit nimmo. What the hell. I expect better. He was damned near caught on camera mouthing a very bad word, to match his very bad failure to catch that fucking fly ball.
  15. metsmarathon
    damn. we really need pete out there, and i was certainly looking forward to seeing if he could make a real run at 60, or more. get better fuckin' quick, pete, and get back to mashing.
  16. metsmarathon
    I'm starting to really hate this team… who - the braves, or the Mets? Yes.
  17. metsmarathon
    ask me if i give a shit. if he was still a yankee fan, ok, maybe i'm annoyed right now. but this...? please. i have yellow skies and entire countries burning to the ground to worry about. where the hell am i going to get my maple syrup from if canada burns to the ground, damnit! priorities, people - sheesh!
  18. metsmarathon
    it feels a little like he never got off it.
  19. metsmarathon
    i feel so bad for jake. and for the rangers, and for baseball fans in general that deserve to have such an incredible pitcher as he out there throwing gas and making hitters look foolish. and also for the hall of fame, which is now not very likely to see his bust enshrined at all.
  20. metsmarathon
    this sucks for jake. i really hope that he can get figured out once and for all. he's simply too delightful a talent to not be on the field. i wonder if converting to a closer would even be a good idea for him. obviously he's not being paid to be a reliever, but if it might help keep him on the field more...
  21. metsmarathon
    daniel vincent frisella and mark vincent bombeck ...if we're being generous

    =batmagadanleadoff post_id=126967 time=1685485131 user_id=68] Was checking out the 2016 MLB June draft, where the Mets drafted Alonso late in the 2nd round (25th pick, 66th overall), two picks before the Jays drafted Bo Bichette. Alonso, Bryan Reynolds (also 2nd round), Bichette and Shane Bieber (4th round) are the prizes of that draft. Alonso might very well be the best pick of that draft as things are turning out. The first round was an unmitigated disaster, with the most productive first round pick, to date, might be Padres selection and current Met Joey Lucchesi. The Mets first round pick in 2016 was pitcher Aaron Kay.

This is something I wish MLB wouldn't do i think it would be a lot cooler if each team got to wear a uniform in the colors of one of the various armed services. like, i'd love to be seeing the coast guard mets play the space force guardians. how fucking cool would that be? on the other hand, i'm of a mind to generally agree with the anti-military-camo uniforms. i mean, it's certainly fine and proper to support the troops and blah blah blah, but this always tends to veer just a little too close to flag-fucking.
