DID THE METS GET ANY NEW PLAYERS: No.
NOT LINKING: If you are new this section is to catch you up without wasting your time. The Mets announced their AAA coaches. Yawn. The Mets are interested in Bruce and Reed again. Yawn. I am interested in the woman who plays Princess Margaret on The Crown. Sandy excited about TdA’s progress? What? Who cares, not linking. The newspaper is talking about 50 Cent’s first pitch from years back. Wow. Even the guys at AAIMBR didn’t make up an article this morning.
SLACKISH REACTION: Another day of Angry Twitter yesterday all because I pointed out the 15 years post-Doubleday have been just as successful as the 15 before. I was even told the Mets would have won the 2015 World Series if they spent more on payroll, presumably on either a backup defensive SS in case Chase Utley murdered someone or maybe for a bodyguard to keep Matt Harvey from talking to Terry between innings. Calm down everyone.
