Duda, one yr, off the bench pinch hitter/a Smith hedge & Smith needs a day off guy. No OF unless we have a 10 run lead, lol. I doubt he would take that. He should be able to find more playing time in the A.L. no problem. Always liked Duda. And liked him more as time went by. He worked very hard to make needed improvements. And he learned to shut off the crowd completely. May as well have been empty stands to him. That's important for a guy who hears as many boooo's as cheers. Unless the Mets know something we don't about Smith I want to see him out there the most. Did he get injured a lot in the minors? Yes, he gets a full shot.

GAH!

This is how stupid I am. I zipped thru this thread to see if anymore "C" words were dropped. I figured with that thread title it would be ohhhhhh so tempting. BUT I CAN"T SEE HIS POSTS!!! lololol Now my PM box is full. I wonder which PMs I'm going to delete....... Honestly, not yours Bats. All were interesting, informative, or encouraging in my graphic/card/colorization work. You can be such a great guy when you want to be! WassupWidDat!??

This post was made by batmagadanleadoff who is currently on your ignore list. Display this post. No thanks Board Bot.

You know what batmags. I'm no drama queen and I'm enabling you to turn me into one. I've been thinking about this for a half hour so it's not done in haste. From this moment on you are blocked. And I've never blocked, or even considered blocking, ANYONE here. And I was closer than....well, a closer friend with you than any other board member. I enjoyed all our communications, whether out here or thu PMs. I enjoyed all your Metly contributions and even your sometimes piss poor attitude. I even had to ask someone how to do it. And I'm not going to ask anyone how you unblock someone. So, bye bye. You don't fuck with a kid from Queens. Done & done (washes hands)

And for those of you who would advise me not to quit my day job.......

Your childish fun for my respect. It would really suck if the trade-off ended up me deleting my account here because every single one of us is not taking a stand against your putrid behavior. I REALLY think you contribute A LOT more Metly stuff than I ever do here. Carry on ****ing, my friend.

I knew that once. For TMF: "Only once!" Just once?

One might think that 35 HR, 100 RBI guys are a dime a dozen until you remember that the last time the Mets had one of those was David Wright in 2010. Wahowzers! counting stats. Duda hit 30, then 27. 20 last year combined. Cespedes hit 31 in 2016. Literally 37 players hit 30 home runs last year. 89 hit 20. guys like Nomar Mazara and Tim Beckham and Tommy Pham. All very interesting but it's the 100 RBI that blows my dress up. Also, you guyz are all becoming waaaay to funny and bursting my dream of becoming the first "sit down, internet comic".

^ And you're all becoming great photo manipulatists as well. WTF? And Grimm.....EVEN THE DOG HIM/HERSELF! (orange & blue) Well, maybe only Grimm and batmags. And dinosuar jesus. And..... *goes to look in old Wilpon In History thread. Zvons new catch phrase : "You're waterin' me down. bro!"

Only like it. Because it's the least the Coupons could do. To our owners: We have REAL needs u guyz! Saw Coupons=Wilpons somewhere and it cracked me up. Probably read it here.

My remark is Smith and McCutcheon both wear 22, so it's an efficiency play. HA! Holy Jeebus, I just saw the tractor hammer picture. HOLY GUACAMOLEE! Granderson and Zeile were both good hires who went to the world series. Bay was a swing-and-miss. A swing and a miss and a WATCH OUT FOR THAT WALL! ... I just don't want to lose Nimmo in our long term plans unless there is a good trade return. ^This So after sleeping on it and trying to sell myself on Bruce I find I'm still pretty underwhelmed. Some thoughts: *This serves to eliminate a lot of options. You have to figure all other OF options are gone. So no McCutchen, no Cain, and no stunner for JD Martinez. You also have to figure this eliminates Duda. I thought that if the Mets got a RH top of the order-ish guy (McCutchen, Cain), then Lucas might be a bargain basement 1 year power fill in as a hedge for Dominic Smith. *Bruce is probably the "big splash" for the Mets. They will cite his 30+ HR's and talk about how they got a legitimate power guy for the middle of the lineup. Bruce certainly has power. His HR's were no doubters last year (this is something I was worried about having seen him play in that bandbox in Cincy). But he's really just not good at anything else. Was hoping for a guy that hits for average, gets on base, and does damage against elite pitchers. Right handed would be a plus. Bruce does none of this. *This "second tier" contract is such a Mets move. Granderson, Bay, Zeile. And allAdat. Replacing a very lamented John Olerud colored a lot of Zeile perceptions. TRUTH BRUTHA! And I agree with much of what has been said here. If I quote you all this will go on forever. I really enjoy reading you guyz (re:Mets) more than any other sports/Mets/baseball site/blog/page/or msg board. And I become better informed as I do. *lifts glass Here's to the CPF going on forever & ever, amen. I just PMd batmags that I don't even own a high horse, so I will stop with these kinds of posts in the future. I'm simply not contributing anything to the conversation. But I do want you guyz to know this because I may not have another chance to say it. You're the best Mets fans known to man and the universe!

I'll have to look into McNally. He's, quite simply, the best there is. Exhibit A: http://blog.joemcnally.com/2015/02/26/ozzie-and-the-mirrors/ Well, duh on me. Of course I've seen that guys work. Excellent! And (drumroll please....) I LOVE THE GLOVE(men)â„¢!!!!!!!! Here's my effort at staging a fence catch:

Also, it's not because it bothers me or I give a shit. I may wince after the 2nd one but truly, I've used horrible language online at times, where I feel it was appropriate. I'm taking a stand here because we have some female members, maybe even some children of members, who read this board. It's simply inappropriate when there is a lady or a child in the house. And I know you don't care. I get that. If it wasn't that I feel that this msg board is a notch above all others I visit (Mets or otherwise), and truly a group of friends, I wouldn't have said a thing.

I never even look at the money anymore. Cuz it's crazy. Three years? I like.

Neil is the best DW. Sorry...that makes you second best Thanks, but I’m not even in the conversation. Leifer, Walter Iooss, Joe McNally are my favs Ioose would be in my book as well. And this is MY book so I can put you 2nd best if I wish. I'll have to look into McNally. Two versions of my Al Jackson colorization. One with a blurred background, one not. IIRC I've never shared the non blurry one here. That crowd didn't make the cut. I blurred the background because I didn't like the way it was coming out and I was sick of working it. Batmags, my friend. Every time you drop a **** in a post of your's (whether in jest or whatever), I no longer read the rest of your contributions to that particular thread. I just chuckle and wiz past em. I know you're just trying to ruffle feathers. I won't be ruffled. I know I'm denying myself some good info, view, opinion, or a just a good read. I'll just have to suffer that loss. I know you probably don't give a rats ass, but I do, so I am typing this. Just so you'd know. The next thread I open is always a clean slate, so if you want me to read what you post, again, please keep your ****s to yourself.
