SLACKISH REACTION: A typical quiet Sunday here in the era of Newspapers Are Dead (no more Big Sunday Articles like we used to have).
The thing that caught my eye is that Wacha said on the conference call that the Mets told him he would start. Then they signed Porcello. Well, Porcello isn’t going to the bullpen. Nor is JDG. Nor is The Big Zero. And is Matz that kind of pitcher? That makes me wonder if they are back to being obsessed with trading Noah Syndergaard?
Meanwhile, I have been on a James Bond kick. Last night I finished OHMSS and it kind of really bothered me that Blofeld is a world class skier. Like I get there are a lot of fantastical elements to James Bond Movies, but Telly Savalas’ ski skills seemed a bit too much. Also Telly has a LOT of Vin Diesel in him. When they invent time machines I am going to make Fast And Furious ’68.
After OMHSS I put on Diamonds Are Forever (as part of the James Bond Rewatch). This is Sean Connery. He is 41 years old in 1971.
Bond looks so old that I am surprised Brodie didn’t give him a two year deal.
I need to get Media Goon to give in and talk James Bond with me on the Shark & Goon podcast. We will be recording an episode later today about The Mandalorian, but I really want to record a whole James Bond suite of episodes. The guy sits in a truck all day (Goon, not James Bond) you’d think he could find time to watch some James Bond movies. Also Goon stirs his martinis.
The bagels were excellent this morning in case you were wondering.
I love the Fozzie joke. I know it’s a hack one but I absolutely love it.
And my blog might suck, but you gotta admit at least it’s different.
