    So glad I had Matz AND Gray in my lineup for their starts this week. So much for my last-ditch run for the top.

DAMMIT JOSE WE'RE TRYING TO GET YOU RELEASED HERE CUT IT THE HELL OUT That's so early June. If he's not gone from this team on August 1, he won't be gone before October 1. In fact, I'd guess a whole other Jose Reyes countdown is on. Twenty... Nineteen... Jose Reyes, 2019 Met. I wouldn't be surprised if those two dingers meant he had a shiny new contract waiting for him at his locker. Fans love the guy, you know. When we walked around the stadium during the last homestand and talked with every one of the 3,152 people who showed up to our last home game, they all said "we're here because of Jose Reyes."

For a song that clocks in a 4:50, there aren't a lot of words. In Chicago's defense, they *did* write it in the middle of the night.

They'll end up treading water and hoping for the next Michael Cuddyer -- some old geezer by baseball standards who was an all star six years ago, to wildly exceed expectations. Jeff: "Wait, is Cuddyer still available? Someone call his agent."

Ah, yes. That's just what the GM of the Braves said in the winter of 1969, when the Mets refused to part with six players (IIRC, Seaver, Koosman, Jones, Harrelson, Grote, and Amos Otis) for Joe Torre. He made a snide remark that the Mets had a lot of untouchables for a ninth place team. Six players for Joe Torre?!??!!

    Ceetar wrote: I don't think Happ is really much of anything to be excited about. Agree. Fills a need for the MFYs, I guess, and two more or less MLB-ready minor leaguers, even if they're utility guys at best right now, are better than nothing.

The Yanx, the Cubs, and the Brewers are said to be hot on the trail of his tail. Looks like Happ to the Yankees is done for Brandon Drury + other stuff. Outfielder Billy McKinney, sez the internet. So basically eight or ten JA Happ starts in exchange for spare parts.

    There is virtually no reason to keep Bautista on the roster at this point. I'd rather have the low-A flier for him.

    NO. DISLIKE.

    How about we not find out who our new closer is tonight? Just win this fucker.

    Centerfield wrote: This is good. Now we have a good bat off the bench for when Reyes needs a blow. Guarantee he gets two ABs this week to Reyes's twelve, and then they waive him to make room for Vargas or something.

That's good, since that's where he's going to play here next year assuming Rosario remains viable at SS. Unfortunately, Todd Frazier isn't going anywhere, and even if he does, they won't spend the money on Machado when they can re-sign Reyes much cheaper.

    41Forever wrote: Pitcher Daniel Poncedeleon making his Major League debut, 15 months after a line drive fractures his skull, goes 7 innings without giving up a hit. The last inning was a little shaky, but he got out of it. The true baller move would be for him to retire after the game. Doesn't get much better than that, Daniel. Frayed Knot wrote: Gary Sanchez loafed after the ball as it rolls part way towards 3rd base. He belatedly realized what was happening but rushed a bad throw to the pitcher covering. This is an "I Miss Old George" moment. He would have traded Sanchez first thing this morning for scraps.

    There's ZERO logic to Flores 1B/Reyes 3B over Flores-McNeil 3B/Smith 1B. Zero.

    Jacob Rhame: Turning Japanese I really think so. Drew Smith: Running off the Rails in a Crazy Train This literally made me LOL.

    I would also love to have him back this offseason. A good dude by all accounts. Closing is tough -- people will always remember the blowups and not the 1-2-3 innings -- but I was usually very confident in him to get the job done.
