Alright, which one of you jerks forgot to wear your offseason cap at a rakish, cancer-preventing angle?

Overpaying Cespedes is starting to sound better and better.

I thought both Colon and Niese looked great out of the pen. I'd be delighted if they kept both of them around, one as 5th-starter-til-Wheeler-Day, the other as spot-starter/long-man. Niese could conceivably become lefty-getter-outer-in-chief after Wheeler's return. I enjoy Robles and Familia, and hope to see Vic Black again. I guess Reed was pretty good; I just never liked him.

I left my fitted blue Mets cap at the in-laws' house after the NLCS sweep, and had to wear a less-lucky hat for the last two games. I should have known better; they jumped out to early leads when I wore it, and then locked them down when I took it off. My bad. Edit: I mean, I love my orange Mr. Met hat as much as the next guy, but it's clearly not the uniform for this postseason.

HOLY CRAP YOU GUYS THE METS WON THE PENNANT! We're going to the World Series!

Grandy with the leather!

Wasn't Columbia the home of the Capital City Bombers, former Mets SAL squad? Plus ca change, etc.
