SLACKISH REACTION: Rotten loss for the Red Bulls who will find themselves in a pickle Sunday needing a win and some road goal action. I’m mad at MLS and FSI for advertising “7” and giving me 7:25. I understand that “7” is going to be 7:10 or such but 7:25 ticked me off.
Meanwhile in Actual Mets News….
The Mets released Aoki. I am sure Aoki had two names but I don’t remember what the other was. I don’t know what number he wore. I’m not sure I witnessed him playing any games as I checked out not because the Mets sucked but because MLB plays 4 hour games involving relief pitchers. Some day Greg Prince will write about Aoki and remind me this happened.
NOT LINKING: The Mets blew off Wally Backman. Are you surprised?
Callaway, Syndergaard and Strawberry were all goofing at the Knicks game instead of being 100% focused on winning the 2018 World Series! Oh wait, Strawberry is retired. Anyway if Matt Harvey hit a Knicks game you’d ask why he wasn’t home working out.
