Hello USA. I’m back and ready to pick up heavy stuff, put it down, with proper form, while stretching accordingly.

SLACKISH REACTION: Baseball has a fighting chance to get some attention with Red Sox-Dodgers, a far more attractive matchup than the hell that would have been Brewers-Astros.
The first four games of the World Series are scheduled for 8:09pm which is horrific but not 9:09 horrific. Next Sunday’s game starts at 8:15 because reasons. I won’t watch any of it.
Good stuff from me yesterday, baseball has not had a memorable team in 14 seasons. Think I am wrong? Click!
We’ve covered this before but OMG we have to discuss it again. You people really need to get your act together at the bagel store. It just took me 35 minutes because you are all ordering Taylor Ham nonsense. Here’s a recap of what to do….
- There are no new flavors. It’s the same ones as last week. Next week will have the same ones. We are maxed out on Bagel Technology. In the unlikely event a new flavor is developed, there will be a sign. Step away from the glass, your server is not giving you the “good” bagels because you are pointing.
- Go to the super market. Buy yourself some butter. Buy your self some Taylor Ham. Buy yourself some bacon like my family does. It is cheaper and you will cut down the line.
- Have your GD order together. Here was mine, “Eight plain.” See how easy that is? Two words. You put 8 bagels in a bag and I am done.
And you didn’t think I was gonna not write about video games, did you? I am addicted to FIFA and chasing “coins.” My kid is making fun of me. Gotta buy packs lol.
I thought I would actually click on the crap on the other blogs today. Maybe they have good stuff? Let’s see…
The guys at the AAIMBR want us to know that Doug Melvin could be the Mets GM. Let’s click….
Kristie Ackert spoke to a colleague of Melvin’s from the Brewers who said he’d actually be a good fit for the Mets, and is very open-minded about analytics. (via AAIMBR)
So basically they do links. Yawn.
The next AAIMBR has the Winter League result from 10/20. Hey, at least that’s different. Let’s take a look…
There was a lot of scoring in this game, but, the Mets players weren’t a part of it until the top of the ninth inning. After a lead-off single by Abraham Toro-Hernandez, Peter Alonso would absolutely destroy a 0-1 slider, pulling it over the left field wall for a two-run homer to give the Scorpions a 6-5 lead heading into the bottom half of the inning. (via AAIMBR)
OK that’s actually not that awful. However the next story on their site is “Dodgers returning to World Series” so even an infinite number of monkeys with type writers will accidentally write one OK blog post before devolving into score recaps.
Next at the other other AAIMBR we have “Playoff History: Jacon deGrom’s 2015 MLDS heroics” which sounds like worse filler than someone scraping the bottom of Lids looking for a cap to post.
When we think back to the 2015 postseason, many of us fast-forward to the World Series and the mistakes made there. However, there were many great performances by New York Mets players throughout the playoffs. (via AAIMBR)
Is that not exciting? My favorite part is the link under New York Mets which is probably some sort of SEO ranking Google trick that I am too stupid too learn.
So there ya have it. When I do NOT LINKING every morning, that’s why. Look how much time of yours I just wasted with just those excerpts. Imagine if I had wasted your time with “What Jacob deGrom needs for another stellar year in 2019”
