  1. =G-Fafif post_id=118116 time=1676084388 user_id=55] Lee cleared waivers and has been outrighted to Syracuse.
  2. Sandy Alderson's son Bryn* leaving his role as assistant GM. Good luck, nepotism beneficiary. *stupid name alert
  3. My realigned divisions would look like this: NL East NYM PIT PHL WAS NL Central CIN CHC STL MIL NL South ATL MIA TB Charlotte? NL West LAD SD SF ARI AL East NYY TOR BOS BAL AL Central CWS CLE DET MIN AL Midwest TEX HOU COL KC AL West SEA LAA OAK Las Vegas?
  4. I had a similar thought this morning. A realigned NL East of NYM, PHL, WAS & PIT makes sense to me, assuming that at some point MLB will go to 8 divisions of 4 teams. Let ATL & MIA pick up some other pair of local teams (Tampa + some expansion team in the Carolinas?). Same thing on the AL East side - NYM, BAL, BOS and some 4th team that is geographically not too far flung (TOR, CLE, or DET being the most logical choices, probably TOR which would allow them to keep CLE & DET in the same revised division with the White Sox).
  5. Yeah luckily Bowden is pulling all of these proposed ideas out of his keester. As for relegation, it's too un-American to ever happen here (and TFG for that, I might add). It's one step removed from asking baseball players to stop using their hands on the field. #nosoccer
  6. Ray Knight in white satin Never reaching the end
  7. These hats are really nice. I would shit in like 2/3 of them.
  8. Didn't specify his walk up music so they used the Mario Bros theme (the Mario bros being plumbers and all). We watched him a bunch in the Cuse, too, but that HR is about all I recall from him.
  9. I feel like I watched half of these dudes here in the Cuse last year
  10. Nothing is Easley, though time gets you worrying, my friend, it's o.k. Just take your life easy and stop all that hurrying, be happy my way. When tension starts mounting and you've lost count of the pennies you've missed, Just try hard and see why they're not worrying me, they're last on my list. Nothing's Easley.
  11. =batmagadanleadoff post_id=117654 time=1675310662 user_id=68] Brian Bohanon Died in the church and was buried along with his name Nobody came
  12. I prefer my Syracuse Mets related news headlines to be less chokey and murdery than this
  13. Lock up the squirrel nuts for everybody
  14. =batmagadanleadoff post_id=117127 time=1674444378 user_id=68] WBC might be the thing for which I have the least shits to give about anything involving MLB players. I don't think I saw more than half an inning of WBC, cumulatively, in my entire lifetime. Single elimnination finals and semis? Really? In a sport already reeking with luck and randomness. And I though MLB playoffs were a degraded and compromised tournament.
  15. =bmfc1 post_id=117039 time=1674222238 user_id=73] Negative view: these players are risking injury by playing intense games in March (games that will quickly be forgotten) when they should be ramping up for the season.
  16. I like it - that much earlier that there will be actual baseball to watch on TV.
  17. Particularly cool that Howie and Gary go in together. I very much associate them with each other in terms of tenure and general excellence.
  18. I would have gone with "Pham Bam Thank You Ma'am" as the thread subject. Good OF depth signing (career OPS at Citi Field of 1.029). Darin Ruf, don't let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya
  19. The Q&A starring our own local cast of idiots and fanbois is a fantastic re-read. I'd love to get another Met in here for that.
  20. The DH option is not an insignificant one. That will help lots of aging sluggers like future Pete.
  21. Bob Alpacadaca wrote: Edgy MD wrote: As the Braves have demonstrated, frequently young, pre-free-agency players are signed above and beyond their arbitration value in exchange for an extension beyond their arbitration eligibility. That allows teams and players to split the risk. It's a path the Mets have only occasionally taken, but their young stars have frequently been pitchers, with whom the risk-reward ratio is different. But Alonso and/or McNeil would definitely be candidates for that sort of contract. Agreed. Alonso is an elite power hitter who seems to love playing in New York and appears to embrace a leadership role. Lock him up now and ensure someone doesn't come in with a crazy offer in two years. ^
  22. =batmagadanleadoff post_id=116804 time=1673813397 user_id=68] Sneak Preview! 2022-23 Typewriter Chewing Gum Limited Mets set - Code Name: Rum Raisin. Available now at a store near you.
  23. I think Mancini is the one most likely to earn his salary in 2023.
  24. They should give him all the cash they were going to otherwise give to Correa and extend him out for several years.
