I voted Jose too, but I would put money on him winding up in a Ducks uniform before the season is out.

One of a record eleven Mets in the midsummer classic, after recording 30 saves with a 1.13 ERA in the first half. But he blows up in two key August games and we never trust him EVER AGAIN.

"It's like acquiring Yoenis Cespedes at the deadline." .280/.330/.560, with 24 home runs in 58 games in August and September en route to an eleventh-place MVP finish despite playing less than half a season.

Looks like a very real possibility that I'll be in town with nothing to do on April 9. Is that part of your Tuesday plan? Does anyone have an extra ticket? (If not, they're running a $5 special right now.) (edit: You say you're skipping that game in your original post.)

1-3, 4.35 in 48 games out of the pen. In Syracuse.

I guess I'm in LS's camp with a sprinkle of smg thrown in. Yeah, me too. He's the type of guy where you say "if Keon Broxton gets 400 PA, then this team is in trouble."

Retired by opening day.

6-17, 2.13 ERA. Or 17-6, 2.13 ERA. There's no in between.

I'm going to go way the hell out on a limb and pick Dario Pizzano. Who the hell is Dario Pizzano, you ask? I had no idea either until I looked at our https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/NYM/2019.shtmlspring training stats and thought "who the hell is Dario Pizzano?" Dude went .272/.348/.425 across two levels in 2017, and .285/.361/.433 in AA in 2018. Doesn't seem to do anything exceptionally well (averages <10 HR a season, doesn't steal bases), but he makes good contact (average K and BB numbers). Played college ball at Columbia, so he's not afraid of NYC. 28 years old in April, so it's time to take the next step. Rise to the occasion, Dario!

In honor of the song, we should start using #LGMG instead.

.290/.360/.470, with 28 home runs and 122 RBI en route to a surprise fifth-place in the NL MVP balloting.

They also issued a dignified uni number (7) so I'm not crossing him off the list unless or until we sign Bryce Harper, then I'll reassess. You're probably right. We're going to look back in September in be like "how did Gregor Blanco get 140 AB?"

Won't make it through the spring.

Our stadium here in Rochester has a nut-free section, and I appreciate that. And if we decide to sit elsewhere, then I'm 43 and I can handle myself if someone near us is eating peanuts. I don't like it, but I also don't make a scene (or even say anything) - we'll just move if there's space for us to do so or if the smell is particularly bad. It's not worth the aggravation on anyone's part for me to say anything, and as I said, I could have avoided it by sitting in the allocated section but chose not to do so. But that said, CF's point is spot on, as are all of his similar points about things like smoking. Is it "harder"? Yeah, maybe that's one perspective, but it's BETTER for everyone involved, and that's really the ultimate point. There are plenty of things/vices/foods that people do/eat/drink, or can do/eat/drink, that don't impact anyone. Want to eat an Almond Joy in my office? Go for it. Doesn't bother me in the least, because that doesn't affect my allergy. But a Snickers? Yeah, it does. Want a cigarette outside the building where other people have to walk? Fuck you. I spent a night in the hospital two years because I inadvertently ate a nut, and it fucked me up for a few days after that. Your right to enjoy a peanut at a baseball game doesn't supersede my right to breathe. Maybe banning peanuts at the ballpark is "too far" for some folks, but if it keeps people from having deadly allergic reactions, yeah, I'm down with that. Nobody's saying you can't have nuts, much like nobody's saying you can't smoke. You just can't do it in tight quarters where there's the potential for injury. Your right to swing your fist ends at the bridge of your neighbor's nose. Our neighbor has a windchime on their porch. DRIVES. ME. BANANAS. But it doesn't cause me any harm, so have at it, friend. But there's a difference between "doesn't cause harm" and "literally could kill someone."

Can't wait for Chris Flexen to miss most of 2019 and 2020 when he blows something out: https://the7line.com/blogs/the-7-line/mets-pitcher-chris-flexen-has-undergone-a-big-transformationhttps://the7line.com/blogs/the-7-line/mets-pitcher-chris-flexen-has-undergone-a-big-transformation

On behalf of all of us who have nut allergies, this is fan-goddamn-tastic. We have had to move our seats dozens of times over the years, at stadiums of all sizes, because someone around us had a bag of peanuts and was just throwing shit all over the floor. (This isn't an issue with Cracker Jacks.) Fuck peanuts. I hope they go the way of the bee.
