Today is Day 15 of the Mets not trading Noah Syndergaard.
At some point isn’t leaving the rumors out there detrimental? At some point won’t Noah, like any normal human, feel unloved and actually want to leave the club?
It is 2:53am. I have not slept in three days. I have THE VIRUS and I am actually starting to go loopy from lack of sleep.
Did you catch this week’s Simpsons? It was so spot on.
When Principal Skinner reveals that the Lisa-run school paper has lost an budget-crippling 30 bucks or so, he brings in a Billy Eichner-voiced grade school clickbait merchant to turn the venerable purveyor of Springfield school scandals into an online-only quiz and “You won’t believe what Milhouse looks like now” factory.

Can you imagine? A reputable website devolving into clickbait nonsense? Which brings us to the…
SLACKISH REACTION: Seems some website executives have had it with my commentary on their attention grabbing headlines. I am not popular in one of the tallest buildings in the world. Even the AAIMBR isn’t that mad at me.
The Mets did some nice charity stuff yesterday. I’m too loopy to recap it. LINK.
Seems the Mets want Chili Davis to be their hitting instructor. Whatever. Hitting Instructor is a Fall Guy job. So Chili will be fired before Jim Riggleman takes over in May.
I worry that Mr. Davis will want a uniform with his first name on it. I believe he wore Chili on his jersey at one point (yes, see here and read more here.)
Seems like Mr. Davis might have an issue with millennials.
“I guess I need to make some adjustments in the way I deliver my message to the millennial players now,” Davis, 58, told the Chicago Sun-Times. (via Mercury News)
That makes him my new favorite Mets coach. We need some old school coaching. Enough with this participation trophy nonsense.
Anyway, the Mets should issue him #29 so we can all dust off our old Ike jerseys. You remember Ike Davis, right? That was the guy that y’all picked over Daniel Murphy.
This Virus is awful. No not him, I mean he is awful, but I mean the one that is slowly killing me. I feel like Ike Davis Zombie.
I usually can fall asleep on a dime and I am NEVER up in the middle of the night. It’s too bad it’s not the MLB Playoffs, I could catch the end of a game.
