Steve, this is really really sad.  You don’t actually think the Third Wild Card was an achievement do you?  While you’re at it, take all of them down.  The 2016 one is pretty lame too.

My baseball consumption is at 300% over 2024 as I  have no watched THREE games!

It was nice to see My Favorite Met, Juan Soto (still untarnished by vulgarity and/or being a jerk to fans like #12)

On TV the energy felt like a postseason game – that is to say, a postseason game called by an under-energetic past his prime Gary Cohen.   It’s been so long since I watched a Mets telecast that even Gelbs didn’t annoy me.

It was also interesting to hear Gary float the idea of juiced baseballs after Pete’s home.  You know what that suggests to me?  Gary knows the baseballs are juiced.

Some fools cheered Lindor during the intros.  Guys, you think Lindor would cheer you?   I hope Lindor gets Jury Duty and misses most of the season.

The second place Mets are just 1.5 games out of first place!

MLB doesn’t yet have the Wild Card standings up, but it looks like the Mets would be in the running for the tiebreakers for the Third Wild Card!

Oh, and nice jon Megill, who probably is the closest thing this flawed team has to an ace.

The T-Shirt Crowd wore their new horrific “Defender Jerseys” which honor the Atari 2600 Port of the video game Defender.

Those were of course defended by Media Shill, but he can’t even admit that He Struck Him Out is lame, so I am not surprised.

Seems some people think Senga pitched well.  4 runs in 5 innings are 4 runs. I don’t care if some of them were unearned.  Lindor didn’t walk a guy, and Lindor didn’t give up a double.   And I will remind you, I hate Lindor and cannot wait for him to be an ex-Met because of what he did to YOU.

The Mets do not have enough starting pitching.  You will eventually realize this.

ESPN has Lindor’s stats as the below.  I’m mad his OPS is that high.

Also it’s great they brought Pete back, isn’t it?  How would you ever replace these numbers?

Pay attention gang.  Both these players, and Steve, feed the media, so nobody who covers the Mets is going to critique any of them.

And don’t tell me it’s early.  It’s not early.  It’s Season 40 since the last parade.

Whoa WHAT???

The City has a VERY interesting piece under the headline: Mets Owners Are Already Drilling at Citi Field — Without NYC Casino Bid Settled

Hopefully this is just to distract us from the lousy baseball product.  The third place Mets are a game and a half out.  There shall be no excuses in Year 5 of the 5 Year Promise.

Completely unrelated, I find myself interested in campaign donations.  Hopefully one of the Queens newspapers will look into such things as I’d like to read about it.

Anyway sing it with me..

 Who turns unis into black?

Sees a park and thinks blackjack?

We do….we do!!

Last month, the owners of the Mets, who want to put an entertainment complex anchored by a casino next to Citi Field, began “exploratory boring” in at least two places to prepare for construction.

THE CITY spotted the heavy drilling in at least two places in the parking lot, which is legally park land that only the state can authorize for development — currently barring it from being used for the casino plan team owner Steve Cohen has pitched as a major economic boost for Queens.  (per The City)

 

I didn’t see any of the game but I see the Mets won and Lindor wasn’t playing.  That’s as good as it gets!

I encourage Mr. Lindor to take some time here.  Be with your family.     Take six, seven months of paternity leave. You can boo the fans when you get back.  The Mets apparently will be fine without you hitting .000

Congrats to Mrs. Lindor and Baby Lindor’s siblings!
