Slapstick is a maligned form. This was an excellent example of it. Its like watching the game MOUSETRAP, as you watch the ball roll, the wheel turn, the boot kick the bucket, and the trap come down. It's about the movement of objects in space, cause and effect, and its cinema in its purest form. Story? Characters? not so much.

i'm about the Wilpons as i am about Trump. I'd vote for a frog rather than the current moron-in-chief, and that's true for both the country and the Mets. And as Fman said... that hiney! And ARod will be able to get our hitters... um... beefed up! JROD for PREZ!

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

FK, it's interesting (at least to me) that we had the same idea about who to include (with us having identical lists) but different philosophies about how to rank them (at least toward the bottom). We both weighed ABs/IP/G appearances as criteria for inclusion, but once having included a player, i chose to list those who made a net positive contribution in more limited opportunities over players who had a net negative impact in many more opportunities. IOW, once I decided a player should be included on the list of 30, their greater (-) WAR weighed even more heavily against them the more they played.

i enjoyed it, but i fail to see what the big deal was.

=Centerfield post_id=33150 time=1583875502 user_id=65] Conforto's injury throws this into question. But if he's ok: 1. Nimmo - CF 2. Davis - LF 3. McNeil - 3B 4. Alonso - 1B 5. Conforto - RF 6. Ramos - C 7. Cano - 2B 8. Rosario - SS If Conforto is out you replace him with Dom Smith and switch him with Cano in the lineup. If Ces is healthy then you start him instead.

just saw it. i haven't read the book, so i had nothing to be disappointed by. So i liked it ok as a noir-ish adaptation of THE POWER BROKER. I had no problem with the era it was placed in, or the ages of the characters. And this was the first decent Willis performance in maybe a decade. But I found the Tourette's thing a pointless affectation and unnecessary for the story. You could have made the character an outsider/loser in any number of less distracting ways.

Kalenic is among the top prospects in baseball.

Edgy, you misunderstood me. I meant that, even assuming Arenado is still a great gg-caliber 3bman, how much more is his great defense worth over merely good D (like McNeil)? in any event, if the deal unloaded Cano, i'd be all in on that. But no, i don't think they'd do that. We'd have to include even more or better prospects just to get someone to take his contract.

But how much more is having great defense at a corner worth, rather than merely good defense?
