SLACKISH REACTION: I really enjoyed the Mets game, even though they lost. (1) Todd Zeile is bringing out the best in Gary. (2) The game was under three hours. (3) Pete Alonso has become a thing – I was actually like “oh cool, Pete Alonso is going to bat in the 9th.” THAT is what baseball needs. Badly. They should be marketing the heck out of this guy and creating some bullshit rivalry with Judge.
Now…as awesome as Alonso has been….let’s just enjoy it. I’m looking at you dear reader, and really at you over there in the t-shirt section. Let’s just appreciate that it’s been a fun 6 weeks. Let’s not put him in the Hall of Fame. Let’s not compare him to Pujols or someone. Let’s not make him The Next Somebody. Let’s not start doing big heads or t-shirts or dressing up like Polar Bears. Let’s just let him be Pete Alonso and let’s enjoy THAT.
Uh oh: Mickey Watch Watch
