Some of these guys who I haven't really seen in years, I feel like if I ran into them on the street I'd be like DAMN I KNOW YOU FROM SOMEWHERE WHERE THE HELL DO I KNOW YOU? Like, in context, hey, that's Ray Knight. But if I saw him at the grocery store, I'd be staring at him awkwardly trying to figure out who he was.

    Val's plan is pretty solid. Just to pick a nit, I'd swap Colorado and Milwaukee. It gives the NL "North" the Cubs/Reds/Rockies/Cardinals, which still makes some sense (Cincy to Denver is a three-hour flight), and the AL Central the Brewers/Royals/Twins/Rangers, which also makes sense. Plus, since you're moving Houston back to the NL where they belong, it returns the Brewers to the AL also.

In that LCS Beltran hit .296 with 3 HR's and had a 1.054 OPS. Stole a base and played brilliant defense. He's as much to blame for the 2006 NLCS as Piazza is for the 2000 World Series. Agree. I hate the whole anti-Beltran narrative. He's an all-time Met.

    I have no interest in McEwing at all. Acta, I guess.

At least since Lou Gehrig died of Lou Gehrig's disease. "We used to tell him, 'Hey, Lou... there is a disease with your name ALL OVER IT, pal."

    https://deadspin.com/how-unh-turned-a-quiet-benefactor-into-a-football-marke-1819064622 Being in public higher ed enrollment & communication, this story touches like a million nerves for me. Really, really interesting.

    Gwreck wrote: At least 8 I'm tempted to take the under just for shits and giggles, but that's probably about right. Have to figure that at least seven are probably locks: Familia, Harvey, deGrom, Ces, Thor, Matz, Conforto, for either long-term commitment or low trade value or both.

For one game they were named after a local side dish known as "salt potatoes," basically, russets cooked in water liberally salted and served with melted butter. They made some pretty cool hats, jerseys, and swag to go along with it. Gotta be the same office that turned us from the Isotopes into the Green Chile Cheeseburgers for one night. And the Rochester Garbage Plates. Edgy MD wrote: Reverse the parent team's colors and call them the Syracuse Orangemets. I actually think that might be neat, if a little gimmicky. Maybe as a one-off. Also, yes, it's awesome when worlds collide.

    I hope we keep the Binghamton connection too.

    All the MFY fans on my various feeds are going BANANAS over some sort of baserunning gaffe by some dude who came in to pinch-run. Tough noogies, MFYs.

    I was positive Bill Virdon was dead. Apparently not.

    "I'm just saying that with all this ACA stuff, I figured it was important to get as many surgeries as I can now before it's too late."

    Lefty Specialist wrote: Josh Donaldson batting cleanup. Kewl. I just wish it was the Josh Donaldson who hit a ton of homers for the Jays last year, but the Wilpons instead signed a different guy nobody'd ever heard of, also named Josh Donaldson, out of the Frontier League and just hoped for the best. #MetsGonnaMet
