Mets Pete Alonso on pace for 77 Home Runs!

 

The future Home Run King, Pete Alonso, hit another home run last night – with 10 HRs and 23 RBIs, MVPete is on pace to hit .293 with a record shattering 77 HRs and 177 RBI!

Pete – if he can keep his dopey Fs in his pocket – is baseball’s best hope.  He can fill Citi Field while Steve plays the villain and spends money – Pete plays in New York – there’s the whole Polar Bear thing…..and he’s more interesting than Judge (who we saw last year, nobody really cared)

Break out the juiced balls and don’t ask questions – the new Home Run King is on his way!

Pete Alonso on pace to hit 72 HRs with 153 RBI!

Pete Alonso is going to have to pick up the pace if he is to become the Home Run King.  Earlier in the season he as on pace to hit 80, but with 9 HRs in 20 games he is on pace to his 72.9 – and since you can’t hit .9 of a home run, that’s “only” 72.

Hopefully a combination of warmer weather, MLB marketing, and magic baseballs will help Pete pick up the pace so he can back to The Chase For 80.

Combined with Pete’s .286 average and his 153.9 RBI pace, I think it’s safe to say Pete could win the MVP this season.

Earth Day Mets Cap blows opportunity to look good

Wow New Era blew it on this one.

METS looks terrible on caps.

The Earth Day Caps are all this cool orange.  Let’s see…what sort of color would pair nicely with this orange….I dunno?  BLUE????

Some thought starters for what they could have done…

Before you point out that these two caps exist already – I still think the Earth Day orange, which is different, would go nice with the blue.

Also, the below is a fashion jersey design from like a decade ago.  I own one of these in Actual Jersey.  One of my faves….

 

A’s plan to move to Las Vegas before the Climate Emergency forces them to move again in 2040s

Hey you know what’s a bad idea – moving to a city in the desert that’s going to have water problems in the 2030s!  But it’s not like the A’s haven’t moved before and it’s not like they won’t move again!

Las Vegas is the fastest-warming city in the United States, its temperatures having risen 5.76F since 1970. A June study of coroner data by the Las Vegas-based Desert Research Institute found a correlation between heatwaves and heat-related deaths in southern Nevada, both of which, they say, are on the rise. And a recent Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) report warns that without global action to reduce carbon emissions, the city will probably experience 96 days of heat above 100F by the end of the century, including 60 days over 105F, and seven “off the chart” days that would break the current heat index.

Anyway, the Times has the story of the A’s planned move.  The 2024, 2025 and 2026 seasons in Oakland should be fun!
