Also, I can tell you, at a Syracuse Mets game (which I missed dearly this past summer), that Timmy T gets the biggest applause when he comes in to bat and strike out late in a game.

I still and will always hate the DH. I don't care how much it helps the 2021 Mets roster. If you can't field a position then take your sad ass glove and go home. Start humping a desk like the rest of us.

I & II are among my favorite movies of all time but I've never even been tempted to take a gander at III If you liked I and II, don't watch III unless they change it. (maybe even if they change the ending) Trust me (and almost every film reviewer on the planet) on this one. Later It had a couple of good scenes, and, honestly, it had the potential to be a good movie, while not anything even in the ballpark of the two movies in the series that preceded it. But man, Sofia Coppola, for all of her later-to-emerge directing prowess, was both bad at acting and bad at being good looking. I never could get past the point that Andy Garcia could bed an in-her-prime Bridget Fonda 30 minutes into that movie but later fall desperately in love with his own ugly cousin.

I'd like him more if he wasn't such a shitty online troll. I mean, that's OUR job, not his.

One final note. As good as this is for the Mets, I will miss the aesthetics of watching Cano play. The smoothest player we've had since Beltran. Turned the double play so seamlessly. Ridiculously talented player. Enjoyed watching him hit, also, when he was plugged in, he really could stroke a ball and find the hole. Of course I think the many repeated nagging injuries is a sign of someone who's using el dopa to keep their body from coming apart like the car at the end of the Blues Brothers movie. QfN1GRqKXpM

I love me some job titties.

I say they sign him and then Gilooly him, take out the kneecaps. Say, there you go, how you like that? Hit that home run off of Aaron Heilman, do ya? Leave him writhing in the street with the Mets jersey over the shirt and tie.

I think Nimmo and Rosario are the most likely trade candidates. Ol Steve-O can make whomever gets them take Cano as well and just eat that contract with his sexy deep pockets that he has.

=metsmarathon post_id=50543 time=1605206908 user_id=83] is marcus semien something we would be interested in if we'd think our current crop of infielders and spare parts might be better served in servicing the rotation?

That's really a tentative offer, but I'm not worried - I work from home and sit at my front window and I can tell you there's no shortage of dogs shitting in my front yard.

Agreed. Wants to pitch in NY, ended his tenure on a sour note, wants to redeem himself with fans. Also getting nearly $19m coming off an injury so it's a good move for him. I like it. One piece filled in with others on the horizon.

Before I click on it, let me just say, I hope I made a dick joke in there somewhere.

These are all super terrible.

Yeah I hate the top 3 reveal. It's reality-show-stupid.

=Centerfield post_id=50227 time=1604863288 user_id=65] All kidding aside, Brodie Van Wagenen is the worst GM in the history of the Mets. And that's not due to his track record as GM, though there is enough there to make a strong case. Brodie is the worst, not because he failed as GM, but because he never tried. Every other Mets GM had one primary goal. Make the Mets a better team. Some were better, some were worse, but all of them worked toward the same thing. The last few have had to overcome Jeff Wilpon to make that happen. Not Brodie. Brodie's job wasn't to make the Mets better. Brodie's job was to make Jeff look better. I mean sure, he would have preferred if the Mets won, but as long as there was no heat on Jeff, Brodie had done his job. That's why he was hired despite not having any front office experience. He didn't need it. Jeff was going to call all the shots. Brodie was just PR and spin. So fuck Brodie and his lies, and his double talk. I don't know what's next on the agenda for Jeff Wilpon, but I hope it has nothing to do with my life, and I hope he takes his smiling salesman along with him.

Officially announced -- The Mets have announced the departures of Brodie Van Wagenen, Omar Minaya, Allard Baird, Adam Guttridge and Jared Banner. Bye bye, boyos. Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya

Was their closer for a spell, I think, over the last 2-3 years. Has some good stuff though I wonder if he has any clue where his pitches are going. So he'll fit right in in the Mets pen.

I hate all these pretty much. No action shots, no good news, stupid repetitive headlines. Be better, NY rags.

Went with the three sequential pitching poses. I do love that bent back elbow shot.

I long for action photos. Most of these would not prompt me to drop $2 for the paper.

"Bang the Can Slowly" is a quality pun.

Went with the two "Yo"s and Make it Rain. That's for strippers!

He was spending the money right up until the rug got pulled out from underneath him by the Madoff thing. I feel like the K-Rod signing was the last big one right before his bank accounts crumbled into dust, like Kirsten Dunst and that French lady in "Interview with the Vampire."
