I really, really don't trust Reed Garrett.

Mark Vientos adding a little insurance.

Butto also pitching like he wants to make the playoffs.

Peterson's coming out? Still don't think I trust the bullpen that much.

Peterson managed those troubles like an ace. Rockies have a guy on third with no outs.

Peterson rocks. Never thought I'd say that. Braves still up 2-0.

Peterson's pitching like he wants to go to the playoffs.

Peterson has 69 pitches, 55 strikes. Still doing well overall.

Getting a little sketchy. Needs just one out to get out of it. Braves have Chris Sale going, this will be a tough one for the Rockies.

Braves up 2-0.

Braves up 1-0.

Yeah, the media is hyping it up to make headlines. Ohtani could have a 50-50 season. He's not going to lose the MVP Award, I don't think.

Lindor is the man. Great trade. Setting himself up for a Hall of Fame career. Rockies-Braves still 0-0.

Go Mets and go Rockies!

I hope the Mets win.

Today's offering: Who was Mike Ferraro? Mike Ferraro was an American Major League Baseball third baseman who played for the New York Yankees and the Seattle Pilots/Milwaukee Brewers. After his playing career, he transitioned into managing in the Yankees' farm system, where he found success and eventually became the Yankees' third-base coach in 1979. Ferraro was involved in a controversial play during the 1980 ALCS, where Yankees owner George Steinbrenner blamed him for Willie Randolph being thrown out at home plate, leading to a public tirade against Ferraro. Despite the fallout, Ferraro continued coaching, including stints with the Cleveland Indians, Kansas City Royals, and Baltimore Orioles. He briefly managed the Indians in 1983 and the Royals in 1986, taking over after Dick Howser was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Ferraro's managerial career in the Major Leagues saw him compiling a record of 76-98. He passed away in Las Vegas in 2024 at the age of 79. His cousin, Dave Ferraro, was a notable bowler and was inducted into the Professional Bowlers Association Hall of Fame in 1997. Who was Danny Fife? Danny Wayne Fife was a Major League Baseball pitcher who played for the Minnesota Twins in 1973 and 1974. A multi-sport athlete at Clarkston High School in Michigan, Fife excelled in basketball and baseball at the University of Michigan, where he served as basketball captain in his senior year. Although drafted by both the Milwaukee Bucks in the 1971 NBA draft and the Detroit Tigers in the MLB draft, Fife chose to pursue a baseball career. He signed with the Tigers but was traded to the Twins before the 1973 season. Unfortunately, a sore arm cut his baseball career short after the 1975 season. Fife then returned to the University of Michigan as an assistant basketball coach before becoming the varsity basketball coach at his high school alma mater in 1983. Over 36 years, he led the team to 29 league championships, 30 district titles, 13 regional titles, and 2 state championships, making him the third-winningest coach in Michigan high school basketball history with 701 victories upon his retirement in 2018. Fife was inducted into the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame in 2019. He passed away from complications of Alzheimer's disease on May 30, 2024, at the age of 74. Who was Hank Foiles? Henry Lee "Hank" Foiles Jr. (June 10, 1929 – May 21, 2024) was an American professional baseball player, best known for his career as a catcher in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1953 to 1964, particularly with the Pittsburgh Pirates, where he was selected for the 1957 All-Star Game. Foiles, born in Richmond, Virginia, excelled in multiple sports during high school and college before signing with the New York Yankees in 1947. After several years in the minor leagues, he made his MLB debut with the Cincinnati Reds in 1953. Following brief stints with the Cleveland Indians, he found his stride with the Pittsburgh Pirates, where he enjoyed his most productive seasons. Foiles was notable for being the first major league player to use contact lenses. Although his performance declined later in his career, his strong defensive skills kept him valuable as a backup catcher, leading to various trades across multiple teams, including the Kansas City Athletics, Baltimore Orioles, and Los Angeles Angels. In his 11-year MLB career, Foiles played in 608 games, with a .243 batting average, 46 home runs, and 166 RBIs. Later in life, Foiles was inducted into the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame in 1987 and filed a notable lawsuit against the Baltimore Orioles. He passed away in Newport News, Virginia, on May 21, 2024, at the age of 94.

Neither of the options match how I feel about it. The 1962 Mets will always be the 1962 Mets, whether they have the record or not. I'm ambivalent to it. It was bound to happen eventually. It's not that I want or do not want it to happen, but it was bound to happen, so why get emotionally involved one way or the other.

Rich Hill, who pitched for the Mets in 2021, signed with the Red Sox on August 17 and is 0-1 with a 5.40 ERA in 3 relief appearances so far. He had a 0.00 ERA in 2 innings for their Triple-A club in Worcester. Colin Holderman, who pitched for the Mets in 2022, is 3-5 with a 3.43 ERA and 10.1 K/9 in 44 relief appearances for the Pirates. He had a 5.87 ERA in 7 2/3 innings for their Triple-A club in Indianapolis. Adrian Houser, who pitched for the Mets earlier in 2024 but was let go, was signed by the Cubs on August 6 and went 0-2 with a 3.86 ERA in 4 starts for their Triple-A team in Iowa. He was released on August 31 and promptly signed by the Orioles. He has yet to play a game in their system.

You got the decades correct, well done. Also, Person is correct. 1. I had a T-Shirt night in the 2010s and was traded away the night of the T-Shirt giveaway. --originally posted by "jjpm74" Hint: Traded by the New York Mets with John Buck and cash to the Pittsburgh Pirates for a player to be named later and Dilson Herrera. The Pittsburgh Pirates sent Vic Black (August 29, 2013) to the New York Mets to complete the trade. Hint: Was a Baseball America top prospect in 2002 and 2003 and an All-Star in 2010.He finished with 159 career home runs, 21 of which came with the Mets in his lone year with the club, 2013. 2. Who am I? https://i.imgur.com/X4gPaD4.png> Hint: Played in the majors from 1970 to 1974, the Mets in 1973 and 1974. He had previously played for the Expos. He was 0-0 in 8 relief appearances with NY. 3. My last name consists of three words The last one meaning 'goose' I'm a pitcher, so you've heard That the Mets have yet to cut loose Who am I? Hint: Appeared in three games for the Mets in 2022; his last name translate to "Mountains of Geese." He's still in the Mets system. 4. Who am I? https://i.imgur.com/6bvfKwk.png> 5. From the back of a baseball card: "This player, a well-seasoned journeyman, gave the Mets strong relief from the bench in '90. He became especially valuable in August when Kevin Elster went on the disabled list and Howard Johnson moved to shortstop. This player filled in at third base and handled himself well. Earlier, his 11th-inning home run defeated the Expos 6-5. In '89, this player was the International League MVP as he led the league with 84 RBIs, ranked fifth with 15 homers and batted .295. At 21, he was the youngest player in the NL when he made his major league debut in '82 for the Giants at, ironically, Shea Stadium." Who am I?

Just finished this one. A high-quality game. I watched a little with the White Sox announcers and they sound so done.

Mets magic number to secure that third wild card spot now down to 26. It's all clicking. High-quality game.

Just like that, Danny Young has made 32 appearances for the Mets this year. That's crazy.

Stewart was running like he was running to catch McDonalds before it closes.

Red Sox defense blew it on that most recent Mets run.

Franco and Sasser are correct. As for the decades, you got 2/3 correct. Want to give it another shot? The unguessed decade is a bit more recent. Two new questions have been added. 1. I had a T-Shirt night in the 2010s and was traded away the night of the T-Shirt giveaway. --originally posted by "jjpm74" Hint: Traded by the New York Mets with John Buck and cash to the Pittsburgh Pirates for a player to be named later and Dilson Herrera.

The Mets have had winning records in three decades. Name those decades. 4. My last name consists of three words The last one meaning 'goose' I'm a pitcher, so you've heard That the Mets have yet to cut loose Who am I? 5. Sometimes I was another name Clumped in with the Big Three I didn't do much with New York But got back a great 1B Who am I?
