  1. =batmagadanleadoff post_id=81610 time=1637634695 user_id=68] Yeah, I know all about Bauer but nobody knew how vile and disastrous Bauer's 2021 season was gonna turn out before he signed with LA.
  2. I voted for WHO??? solely because I like Mr. Met's arched eyebrow.
  3. There are a lot of Hall of Really Good players among the newcomers. David Ortiz is the only one I consider a shoe-in. My ballot: David Ortiz Jimmy Rollins Alex Rodriguez Barry Bonds Roger Clemens Sammy Sosa Todd Helton Manny Ramirez Omar Vizquel Joe Nathan
  4. I had to go with THUMB WAR because it was the most ironically innocuous summation of the entire issue (especially compared with the excessively hyperbolic GO TO HELL, FANS!).

Tuesday Night Mets Club just went and bought up 24 of them to see the Giants, Braves, Cardinals, Nationals, Brewers, Astros, MFYs, Reds, Rockies, Dodgers, Cubs and Marlins.... all on Tuesday, in various locales around the ballyard. Looking forward to Happy Recaps with Bernie Sanders.
  6. Your cover model looks like she might need a wall for support as well.
  7. It was a thing on SportsCenter during the Dan Patrick/Keith Olbermann era as well.
  8. "Blitzkrieg" means "lightning war," so one could say that Thor's homer was a "Blitzkrieg Bop."
  9. Shouldn't arguments about signing/not signing Syndergaard be in one of the 2 or 3 other Thor threads instead of the memory thread?
  10. http://leaptoad.com/mets/gamedetail.php?gameno=9176September 14, 2018, Fenway Park. The Red Sox were on their way to 108 wins and a World Series championship. The Mets were probably already eliminated from postseason contention. But on this night, in a ballpark full of loud traveling fans from the 7 Line Army, the game was all Mets. Noah Syndergaard pitched 7 innings, allowing 3 hits and 0 runs with 6 strikeouts. Meanwhile, the Mets offense uncharacteristically went off and scored 8 runs. I cheered like an asshole for every Mets hit and every Syndergaard strikeout while my Red Sox-loving kids jammed their elbows in my ribs to try to get me to stop embarrassing them.
  11. I don't usually go for negative news covers, but "OH, BLEAK!" is boss-level punmanship.
  12. Well, if Johnny Murphy and Frank Cashen's love child is not available, I suppose this will do.
  13. I want to vote for all of the Mets beating the Yankees covers.
  14. One thing about seeing all these tabloid covers all in a short time is that it really emphasizes how many freakin' injuries this team suffered.
  15. Ferreira already declined to interview with the Mets.
  16. Because the Mets front office (whoever that is) are https://sny.tv/articles/mets-discuss-kris-bryant-scott-boars-gm-meetingslooking into talking with Scott Boras about Bryant.
  17. Yadier F. Molina.
  18. The nice thing about these tabloid covers is that they serve as receipts for anyone claiming that signing Lindor was not considered a good idea at the time.
  19. It appears that in the https://www.mlb.com/news/history-of-mlb-qualifying-offer-decisions-c300602464history of QO's, compensatory picks for the Mets have turned into Marcus Stroman and Francisco Lindor/Carlos Carrasco.
  20. I feel like all of those players should be inducted. And before anyone complains about "watering down the Hall of Fame," only 1.1% of all major league players have been inducted. Adding 9 players would bring it 1.2%. I think the Hall can handle that.
  21. He's on my Sentimental Favorites All-Star Team
  22. Benjamin Grimm wrote: When they're not playing baseball, they're out fighting ham. The eternal question: do they fight against ham or do they fight for ham's benefit?
  23. DODGED A BULLET is far more accurate than the headline writer even imagined.
  24. Valentine would keep the press busy with his oddities that they wouldn't be able to focus on the front office disfunction. Cohen might like that.
