The guys at 500 Level, you know them from fine Lyin’ Todd Frazier t-shirts that get you blocked if you mention them (SAD!) made this.
This CE5PEDE2 Shirt exists for some reason
Mets Police Morning Laziness: playing for one man unless that man is David Wright
Let’s start with some fun.

Blue Man Group?
Anyway I hate this team because
a) they are lame and won’t wear the caps.
b) they won’t let David Wright play. Here’s a recap of the bullshit simulated game They are also playing 18 innings today against the Marlins but if Todd Frazier only played 13 we fight stunt his development.
c) Their next big hire is stupid: The 2015 Blue Jays won 93 games. Mark Shapiro, now the Mets target to lead the rebuild then took over the Jays. The 2016 Jays won 89. The 2017 Jays won 76. The 2018 Jays are pacing for 73 wins. Seems like a no-brainer hire. Oh and Terry Collins having an expanded role. With Mickey Hodges coming back.
d) the booth was talking about how the game strategy was based upon getting deGrom innings to help his ERA and maybe get a win – so if they Mets aren’t trying to win and are just trying to help one guy then WHY CAN’T WRIGHT PLAY?
There was Actual News in that Jay Horwitz will be leaving his media relations gig to become head of Alumni Relations. The Mets were coy yesterday and there is a JH presser today at 2, but the news leaked out in about 5 minutes. Maybe the Mets need to get better at their media relations…oh wait.
So my total made up theory based on nothing is that Adam Rubin will succeed Horwitz. Adam has a sort of kind of similarish role with NYIT and hadn’t tweeted in like 15 days until I tagged him on a tweet – shortly thereafter he tweeted about Horwitz. I’m just floating this theory in case I am right.
SLACKISH REACTION: You guys need to get over this fantasy that JDG has a chance at the Cy Young. Scherzer has 17 wins and a 2.31 ERA.
Gary Cohen mentions wall for no reason after baseball already gone
Here is some pure Trackwalling even if he didn’t mention the track. Watch the ball. Look where the ball is when Gary says “near the wall.” That my friends is some pure Sterlingesque Trackwalling. Gare is on autopilot here and is saying phrases that just come to his brain when he’s going through the motions. This is a lousy call.

Verdict: Sterling
As always, thank you Nick for the hook-up.
Mets’ David Wright nonsense continues with basically a circle jerk of a simulated game with no grounders
David Wright batted two innings in his sim game against prospects Justin Dunn and Tim Peterson. He did not take anything at third because the grounds crew did not let him due to the field conditions. #Mets

Another excuse…oh the field is wet, guess you can’t field today….there’s no way to do this. There are no indoor facilities we could rent.
David Wright, who hit but didn’t field (due to the weather) in a simulated game today, updates his short- and long-term future: pic.twitter.com/aNl1Xps9CH

Today bulllshit. Think I’m nuts? Look behind David..what’s that….
…no not Jay Horwitz (who we learned earlier today will be leaving his current role to take over as head of Alumni Relations – but shhhh that’s a secret that will be revealed at tomorrow’s 2pm press conference, so act surprised) – anyway not Jay, look at the uncovered field behind David. It’s a shame he couldn’t take grounders on the uncovered field. More stalling. Bullshit.
Let David Play and Wear The Caps. This team infuriates me.
Hmmm now there’s another New York Baseball Giants logo cap
Hmmm, what an odd thing for New Era to make and The T-Shirt Guy to promote…
Now TTSG’s email did flag this as a Giants cap, but it’s still peculiar. Why are we are we marketing that NY to Mets fans?
I think something is up as I laid out here last week.
AlsoI refuse to believe the three items below are “Frequently bought together.” Are there really that many people buying a throwback Giants cap, a woman’s tee and a black hoodie? Come on website algorithm, who ya kidding?
