I had to be clear to my guys it was voluntary lest I get sued for any injuries (not that saying so was a defense) but I have 3 commits so far and hoping for as many as 8. We have some serious Park-Slope private-schoolers in the group, you know they don;t like leaving the borough. I have an eleven-year-old with very little baseball ability, unfortunately.

Seawolf Toby Handley leads the nation in triples with 8 and has a .351/.484/.619 slash line. Was drafted by Houston in the 33rd round last year but didn't sign. Have to figure he gets the call from someone in the middle rounds this year.

Bought our tix for Saturday night vs the Angels.

Better to play shorthanded for a week, then retro-DL him, and once he gets it checked, he winds up needing to have the thumb amputated. [/mets]

Wasn't watching, just popped onto espn.com to check the score.

I was on the Kevin Gausman train, but he got lit up yesterday too. I don't know.

I love how the MFYs are paying tribute to 2013-14 Jeets, going 1-12 with 8 Ks in the first four innings while the Astros scored nine runs.

Obviously, the Mets are trying to rectify the central point of this FiveThirtyEight piece: The Mets Aren’t Even Best At Getting Injured https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-mets-arent-even-best-at-getting-injured/ First of all, yes we are, sabermetric injury stats be damned. Second of all, that picture is the most perfect picture for an article ever.

See if Buddy is willing to foot the bill to make the Ducks a AAA franchise.

Centerfield wrote: This whole Wilk trek is why you just cannot have your Triple A franchise in LV if you play in NY. This distance has had a tangible effect on many games and it's foolish to put yourself at such a disadvantage. I remember reading a few years ago that teams that were closer had soured on the Mets for some reason. Not sure why, but I'm sure Jeff Wilpon is part of the reason. (only half kidding here) I hope that when their contract runs out, we can relocate to Syracuse or someplace along the east coast. It's all a matter of contracts and timing with these affiliations, but you're so right. IIRC, the local teams balked, including Buffalo, and then it was some sort of waiting until the carousel stopped and Vegas was the only option left kind of thing. Wikipedia says "The Bisons' agreement with the Mets ended after the 2012 season due to Bisons' management being dissatisfied with their drop in attendance and poor performance during the Mets era. The Bisons enjoyed only one winning season out of the four years that they were affiliated with the Mets," but the citation link is broken. It was a similar issue that caused the Rochester/Baltimore breakup, though.

Seventh 7: Kevin Mitchell (giant leap forward here) I guess that happens when one guy has a number for the first twenty years of the franchise.

My favorite Jim Abbott story is how my best friend - an MFY fan, too - was offered tickets to a game at Yankee Stadium but turned them down... and Abbott pitched his no-hitter that day.
