Men’s New York Mets New Era Graphite/Cardinal Shea Stadium Titlewave 59FIFTY Fitted Hat

Hey here’s a fun link to a good recap of a fight between the 88 Mets and Cubs! There are photos and a video and everything.  Good job by the guys at Bleed Cubbie Blue.

Under the headline “Eric Kay’s attorney says others, including Matt Harvey, gave Tyler Skaggs drugs” the LA Times writes

Inside Room 205 in U.S. District Court in Fort Worth, a federal prosecutor, during a 30-minute opening statement, told jurors that evidence and witness statements — some from as many as seven former Angels players — will prove Eric Kay, a former Angels communications director, guilty of supplying the drugs that led to Skaggs, a popular 27-year-old Angels pitcher who died after choking on his own vomit in a suburban Dallas hotel room.

…

Kay’s lawyer countered the prosecution’s narrative with a bombshell allegation: By Kay’s account, Matt Harvey, Skaggs’ teammate, could have provided the drugs that led to Skaggs’ death.

…

The defense attorney told the jury that, according to Kay, Harvey gave Skaggs pink pills he saw crushed to powder on the desk in Skaggs’ hotel room the night he died.

“Those are Percocets from Harvey,” Wynn said Kay recollected Skaggs telling him.

 

Obviously as much as I enjoy goofing on Matt Harvey for other things, there is nothing funny about a man’s death.

The baseball media with no baseball to cover will soon start paying a lot of attention to this story. I find it odd how little attention it has gotten so far.

Where is David Wright?

 

It occurred to me at 5am that as part of the Old Timers’ Day announcement, David Wright was not mentioned.

Why not?

Mike Piazza appears to be grabbing the traditional “Franchise” role held by Tom Seaver, and I don’t think it is his to take.

David, where are you?  Why are you letting Mike be Mr. Met?  David has been so invisible that it took me almost a full day to even notice he wasn’t coming.  Out of sight, out of mind.

Why isn’t David Wright, 39, coming to Old Timers’ Day if Daniel Murphy, 36, is? Look, we all know that David is physically unable to play, but come out and wave, and take back the throne from Mike.

Mike had tweeted this…

Which led to numerous responses along the lines of great to see ya….then we come to this chain…the final gif is a “crybaby”

What does Mike Piazza mean here?  Are the insurrectionists crybabies?  Are people against insurrection crybabies? Are Mets fans?  Who are the crybabies Mike?
