If you are new, let me explain how the Morning Laziness works and what it is meant for.
After Adam Rubin rode off into the sunset I decided I would do a Son Of Morning Briefing. Unlike the lazy people over at the Amazing Apple Insiderized Mets Blog Report (AAIMBR for short) I actually took two seconds to come up with something else rather than ripping off his TITLE and format. I did spend two seconds on it, but two seconds more than them.
The key here is to not waste your time, and I think that will be important today on Trade Deadline Day.
Should the Mets make a move, all sorts of “experts” will chime in. We saw this very recently with the Cabrera trade as everyone had an Expert opinion on some random AA pitcher in the Phillies system. Please.
Another example may be the R.A. Dickey trade. A lot of experts did not like this trade. Please.
So when/if the Mets move Wheeler and they get back some random names, ignore all the clickbait that follows. Nobody knows nothin’.
Another key of the Morning Laziness is the NOT LINKING section. This is where I mention articles but don’t link to them. The guys at AAIMBR all excited about their VODKA GUY WANTS TO BUY INTO THE METS story. That’s nice. Google “mets vodka” and you will seethe same guy said the same thing in 2011. See what two seconds of work can do for you?
As for anyone buying into the Mets and saying that they will “revive” them – a reminder that you’d be buying a minority non-voting share. So you’re just buying your ego letting you say you’re a Mets owner, while the Wilpons use your money. Good luck.
One last feature of the Laziness is the Slackish Reaction – whereas Adam would do game recaps two seconds after the game, I do mine hours later when I feel like it.
SLACKISH REACTION: The Mets were off so I played some Super Mega Baseball 2, FIFA and NHL 18. I would have played Turismo but I got hosed by a 9 hour update. Grrrrr.
Today I have to Actually Work (TM) so expect lots of trades when I am too busy to blog about them. I wouldn’t even be shocked if they trade David Wright because the Mets love doing things like that when I am busy.
In the meantime, speculate all you want about Wheeler, Mesoraco (I still don’t know how to spell it), or even Thor and Jake because here’s the thing – nobody knows nothin’ until it happens.
