Erasmo Ramirez seems like a good dude. His wife's posts seem to show up in my feed a lot, showing what life is like for baseball families.

I think they really want folks to take public transit, and I don't disagree. Problem is that the trains aren't convenient for anyone outside of the five boroughs or northern Nassau County.

This feels good. I like this feeling.

No runs in the second? THIS TEAM SUCKS TRADE EVERYONE

Skenes' girlfriend Livvy Dunne, something of a influencer-type celebrity in her own right. She's rumored to be dumping him for Carson Benge as we speak.

I have to disagree with Howie's assessment of the 1986 replica ring they gave away in 1987. I still have it somewhere in the basement and I recall it feeling pretty substantial. But my fingers were a lot smaller then.

That's why I brought it up! Figured there was a setting somewhere that needed to be tweaked.

Dude came right back and struck out the side. He won't give up another run today.

DAMMIT GEORGE

I've voted "for the first time" three times, I mean. Like I check the thread and it's like the poll has been reset. (Of course, now it's fine.)

I'm pretty pleased with this setup at my desk today. Video live and muted, Audacy up in the background with Howie and Keith. Hopefully it's not too far off on the delay.

George Washington forgetting the lyrics to the National Anthem feels very on-brand for 2026.

@Brock BeauchampThe votes don't seem to keep in this thread, by the way. I've voted three times.

Posted this on FB but I guess it makes more sense here. It's baseball time We're all here to be Amazed At baseball time The tarp is off and the game is played A pleasant good afternoon, everybody First pitch and we're underway Everybody clap your hands It's baseball time We'll sing "My Girl" And yell "heeeee struck him out" At baseball time, the merry go round Will be in motion There's a game outside in Flushing And GKR are in your ears And the only water flowing Is your sixteen-dollar beer And the Philly fans are weepin' Are the Braves fans they are too Well, tonight, thank God it's them Instead of youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Pitch the ball Let them know it's baseball time and Pitch the ball Do they know it's baseball time at all? The apple's up in Willets Point this afternoon C'e na luna Lazy Mary time Veterans and rooks, we'll put it in the books Do you know it's baseball time at all? Pitch the ball Let them know it's baseball time and Pitch the ball Do they know it's baseball time at all? Here's to you Raise your glass for Davey now We'll be back With the happy recap Do they know it's baseball time at all? Pitch the ball Let them know it's baseball time again

I assume our IGT conventions are still the same as the old days (winning starter has to start the next day)?

And after all that, Baty is DHing. So it's likely to be: 1288 Bichette 1289 Polanco 1290 Robert 1291 Semien 1292 Benge 1293 Peralta I assume?

Yeah, Edgy had Young on the roster. So prescient.

Ben Rortvedt also DFAed.

Roster is posted. Hudson is out, Lovelady is in. Benge making the team means Brujan is the odd man out.

And I'm assuming we put Peralta in the imaginary tenth spot in the batting order for this exercise, rather than zeroth, even though he is directly involved in the actual game before any of the other guys by definition.

Even though he will have a "1" in the Games column? I agree that he comes after the fielders, but I'd think being in the starting lineup has to be enough to make it as an official Met Count Met once the game starts. Even if the wild boar forces him into retirement when it jumps into the dugout after the first pitch, he still has a game played as a Met on his baseball card, just with zero PA. It's not like Jim Bibby or Ruddy Lugo, who were in uniform and active but never appeared in a game. Nobody does Mets pedantry like this place. It's why I'm glad to be back.
