You don’t suck at anything. This place is not dying. And I’ll follow you and the other guys anywhere. I agree with this! Thank you for all you do!

Brock, any relation to former Met Jim Beauchamp?

Sounds like he is headed to the Tigers on a three-year deal. So, does this mean the Tigers are more open to trading Skubal?

If Pete ages better than expected and gets in the 450 homer range, I think he has a shot.

I think it's fantastic! Good for Carlos, and good for the Mets! I do care about this stuff.

I got your back. Let's go **** up Eugenio Suarez. LOL!

I go to a lot of games by myself. And I'm OK with that.

Tom's family is auctioning off some of his memorabilia. https://sports.ha.com/c/search/results.zx?si=2&live_state=5318~5319~5322~5321~5324~10458&dept=3923&consignor_no=26&auction_name=50083&sb=1&mode=live&page=48~1&layout=gallery I'm sure all of these will soar above my limits, but its neat to see some of the cool rings players get for being All-Stars and such.

Three-time Met Rene Rivera will be taking the helm of the West Michigan Whitecaps - High-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers -- this season. https://www.milb.com/west-michigan/news/whitecaps-welcome-rene-rivera-as-new-manager

I took my wife to a game at Great American during Suarez's first stint with the Reds, and snagged some sweet seats in the second row, behind third. My wife sent me to get her a drink, and apparently when I was gone there was a pop foul near the stands and Suarez jumped to get it -- this was before the nets -- practically fell on top of my wife. She always tells me that my one job at a ballgame is to protect her from foul balls. She says I failed, but Suarez did it for me. I noted that Suarez did not bring her a fancy raspberry margarita in a collectible stadium cup, but I did.

I heard once that the team wanted to be known as the Twin City Twins and had the uniforms and everything ready to go, and then MLB decided that not using a city or state name was too radical and made them change to Minnesota Twins. But they kept the caps. I love the Twins ballpark.

Newest Met on a minor- league deal! Depth for sure.

And there is our No. 1 pitcher! I hate to lose Sproat and Williams. But we were running out of spots for Jett. Much stronger rotation with: Peralta McLean Manaea Holmes Peterson Senga Tong

A change of scenery could help him. He can be down the lineup in a less-pressure spot.

Was nice to see Wright pick up votes. I don't think he'll ever get voted in, but it's nice that he can remain on the ballot and be part of the conversation each year.

Not a bad trade if Baty is filling that utility role that Acuna filled.

Is that $60 million a year?

Not just a disaster for the Mets. A disaster for baseball.

Works for me!

Assuming they bring in an ace, like Valdez or Peralta, that's still getting to be a crowded rotation. Scherzer or Verlander, to me, would be taking the place of an end-of-the-rotation guy. I'm sure Sproat or Scott or Tong would go in a trade if that's how we get an ace. Not sure what they can do with Senga. But it's still getting crowded there! Imported ace McLane Manaea Holmes Peterson Senga Possibles: Sproat Scott Tong

With Bregman heading to the Cubs and the Red Sox needing an infielder, I wonder of the Mets can create a package around some of the infield depth and prospects to pry Jarren Duran?

I went to see the Mets in Detroit on Sept. 1. After the debacle in Pittsburgh I was hoping to get to see at least one Mets win in person last season, and the Tigers were good while the Mets were reeling. I was surrounded by Mets fans in the stands Bottom of the fifth, Mets are ahead 6-5 after Juan Soto's grand slam. Gregory Soto pitching, gives up a single to Spencer Torkelson, strikes out Riley Green, then gives up a single to Andy Ibáñez, which moves Torkelson to third base. Stanek comes in to replace Soto and immediately throws a wild pitch to allow Torkelson to score and tie the game. You gotta be kidding me. Mets went ahead to win 10-8, with Soto driving in six of the runs. There was much joy. Footnote: The Tigers have a thing where you can buy a game-used ball online, and you can pick the game. I wanted a cool souvenir of that special game and went ahead and ordered one. The one the Tigers sent me was the one thrown for the wild pitch. Whenever I somehow get a game-used ball I put it in one of those holders that have a spot for the ball and a baseball card. I discovered there are no Mets cards of Ryne Stanek. Closest I could find was a Topps Now card from 2024 that had several players on it. Travis Jankowski got a Mets card in the 2025 Update Set for playing in four games. Stanek gets nothing.

Cowtipper, where are you seeing this? Because the HOF Ballot Tracker is up to 37 percent and has Beltran at 89.2 percent and Jones at 82.8.

Not a good look for the Tigers if they are sincerely trying to hold on to Skubal. Trying to paying him just $2 million more than what Frankie Montas got is not going to make him want to stick around.

Bonilla had a .779 OPS his first year. Solid, but didn’t live up to expectations. He took off from there. .874, then .878, then .984. With two months left in his contract he was traded for one of the best prospects in baseball. It's been a while. Was Alex Ochoa considered a top prospect at that time?
