So I got a note from SOURCE last night who opened my eyes to THING. Once SOURCE told me where to look it was all very very obvious. AND it’s right there if you can connect the dots.
DID THE METS GET ANY NEW PLAYERS: Nope.
SLACKISH REACTION: Pirates fans are starting a petition to get their owners to sell the team. I’d like to point out how foolish they are but I can’t fight a two front war.
Fat Tony is pleased. No more Rubin, no more Francesa, and now Marc Carig has accepted an offer he can’t refuse.
I guess now we know why Carig suddenly got feistier with Mets ownership – he’s reportedly leaving the Mets beat and signing with The Athletic to cover the Yankees. One wonders if the Athletic will also sign someone to cover the Mets and who that would be.
I am rooting for the Athletic, but as we saw the other day an exclusive only lasts for ten seconds in the age of twitter. That being said, if someone like Rubin wanted a few bucks for a Morning Briefing I would be all over it – AND then I wouldn’t have to write this disaster of an article every morning.
Anyway, I may decide to spend the $3 and subscribe to the Athletic. I spend more than that at the Donuts Chain every day so I guess I could pay A SECRET METS BEAT REPORTER PERSON $3 a month. Maybe.
The Walrus was Paul.
The Mets announced the 2018 Free Shirt Friday designs including the gem above. Here’s the full set.
Don’t read this article about 126th Street development so you can be surprised down the road.
From 1995: The Citi Dome is discussed
The Queens Baseball Convention is tomorrow. It is sold out. If you don’t have tickets don’t make the trip. Should be a fun day.
NOT LINKING: boring articles about Adrian Gonzales because he spoke to the press and we need to write something. One of the guys at the Amazing Apple Insiderized Mets Blog Report wants baseball’s pace of play left alone which of course is an incorrect take as bad as Christie blocking the Arc tunnel.
