SLACKISH REACTION: I was asked why I haven’t posted anything about Syndergaard’s TJ urgery apparently being successful. Well, I haven’t heard anything official.
Noah doesn’t seem to have released any information. And the Mets neither emailed me a statement, nor did they post anything to their own twitter account. Perhaps the Mets realize that “Hey we know you need masks but Syndergaard’s TJ surgery went well” isn’t the best optic whether or not my phrasing is loaded and unfair or not.
As I mentioned in a quick post last night there are some Empty Calories articles about “the Mets still are looking for a buyer” floating around. Remember back when we used to care about such things?
The Daily News writes about Citi Field workers not having been paid yet.
I’ve been super-political on twitter this week…and by political I mean just trying to point out smart things (hey we should socially distance) from crazy things (hey let’s reopen) and so far haven’t seemed to chase anyone. As The Last Republican and leader of the RATS (Republicans Against Trump) I am surprised I haven’t chased everyone since 99% of you would by definition not be in that corner, but I guess that goes to show how crazy times are. (By the way here at Last Republican Headquarters we denounce hate and racism, and don’t want to build ridiculous walls,) Don’t worry this will be back to baseball in a second….I’m heading somewhere with this….
So I hope that Trump here is telling the truth and all the media got the story wrong because this broke my brain last night. The bold is mine, the words from The Washington Post.
President Trump on Saturday denied an ABC News report saying he phoned former New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez to ask for help responding to the coronavirus pandemic.
“More Fake News!” Trump wrote in a 12:40 a.m. tweet.
Earlier, ABC News’s John Santucci and Katherine Faulders reported that Trump sought input on the coronavirus response from Rodriguez and actress Jennifer Lopez, his fiancee.
Citing multiple anonymous sources, Santucci wrote that Rodriguez was one of many people called during a “marathon day of meetings earlier this week.” (Via Washington Post)
A-Rod?
I spent last night muttering A-Rod to myself for about two hours.
I wouldn’t even ask A-Rod’s opinion on the baseball schedule.
I really hope the man didn’t have five free minutes this week to speak to A-Rod. Maybe Trump and Gelbs should flip roles.
“Mr. President (Gelbs) what’s the plan?”
“Gary, Dr. Fauci told me….”
So far so good.
Now let’s imagine the Mets are losing 5-2 and Gary says “let’s check in with Trump. Donald?”
“Gary, I don’t know what Rojas is doing here. I really don’t. I know the guy before me would ask fluff questions…I’m not doing that. We’re losing 5-2…how are we losing…we need to WIN…..we have this beautiful team, the best team, the greatest team, all these wonderful players and this big beautiful stadium and we’re losing 5-2….”
I may have just solved everything. Paid for by Gelbs/Cuomo 2020.
Picard Spoilers next….
OK I gave you two days – did you watch Star Trek: Picard? Spoilers coming.
This thing was awful. The finale was the most awful. I feel bad for Media Goon who gets about 4 emails an hour from me on this.
So let me get this right….Riker shows up to stop the Romulans…..the Romulans are trying to stop the robots from KILLING EVERYONE AND I MEAN EVERYONE EVERYONE but Riker is there to stop them. How does that make any sense? What if Riker succeeds? Is Starfleet’s plan to have Riker buy time so “J.L.” can make one heck of a speech?
And let’s not even talk about the android body Picard. Seriously? Hey guys now that we have that tech can I get one? And can I get one like today not when I am old? Or maybe you could make one of me at I dunno say 35? Thanks in advance.
This show was terrible, but what’s terrifying is that Discovery is worse. I actually hope there is not a Picard Season 2. I will just head-canon it that the android stuff was all a dream as his neurons starved of oxygen death.
Anyone still reading this? Isn’t it great that I don’t have to watch baseball this weekend? I have so much more free time!
Today would have been 4pm, with Vulgar Pete bobbleheads. In the rain. I thought Mets fans don’t like day games Mets?
