Francisco, this is how a MAN handles things.

Let us all root for Mr. Escobar to have a great season as he understands the relationship between the customers and the employees, unlike some people.

 

The Mets are in first place so none of you will care.

The Black Institute called on New York City officials May 19 to launch an investigation into whether the Mets were compliant with their economic development goals when constructing Citi Field under a Bloomberg-era contract.

The demands come on the heels of “Foul Ball,” a report detailing accountability issues that plagued the construction of Citi Field and called into question whether the construction project met its economic development goals, based on a lack of monthly workforce utilization reports and unwillingness from elected officials to meet regarding the issue.

Wait, is this saying that there was a major “development’ project and some rich people talked to their buddies in the government and the only people that made out on it were the billionaires?  Shocking, to say the least!

Anyway the Mets are in first place!  Stop asking questions!

I did a search for “Joel Youngblood” with a date range from 1970 to 1985.  Google did not spit out much, but this is a really fun read about the 1981 season when Youngblood didn’t have a starting role….but he was on the All Star Team!

 

People around the team translate that managerspeak as follows: Only Mazzilli and Youngblood are day-to-day. Valentine, who has won two games with his bat since joining the Mets, would have to go very bad indeed to be benched. And at the end of last week, Wilson had hit in 20 of the last 25 games and was batting .299 to help the team into second place in the NL East. So that leaves leftfield, and two players feeling left out. The erstwhile Italian Stallion, Mazzilli, had been a dour horse around the clubhouse before returning to the lineup. He wants to find the old swing, and he knows he must play every day to find it. And Youngblood, as always, wants a job. In addition to being bullish about his hitting, Youngblood also knows he’s a good fielder—his arm is accurate and strong. “What do I have to do?” he asks.

Here’s a question,

Do you actually like these Mets?

I get that you like that they win.

But are you like, cool its Mark Canha?  Hey look its my favorite Met Chris Bassitt!

I understand why you like Vulgar Pete even though he is an affront to Let’s Go Mets.

deGrom is one of ours, and Max was fun and has “IT” – but neither or playing.

So, I ask you, and I need you to be honest.

Do you like these Mets, or do you just like that there are some guys in Mets shirts in first place?

I’m not saying I dis-like them (except Lindor who I hope his milk is always sour) – I’m just saying I don’t LIKE them the way I liked Seaver, Mazzilli, Keith, Wright or Murphy.

So….now that you’ve thought about it instead of reacting to the headline – do you like THESE Mets?
