SinceThe70s

I totally missed the part about Cashman. If Cohen is going after high end baseball executives that's a great sign that he won't be overly meddlesome. A few years ago my Islanders got new ownership and they managed to hire a GM and coach both with Stanley Cup pedigree. The team has been far more competitive the past two years. You rarely hear from the owners. Negative me thinks Alderson was 'signed' just to help get approval for the sale. I thought he was a great GM whose time with the Mets had run its course. Maybe it'll be different with the Wilpons gone.

On vacation in Valdez, Alaska and Jasper, Alberta. Both times from a safe distance whilst we watched knuckleheads who were at an unsafe distance. Jasper was just a single bear crossing the road, Valdez was multiple bears, including a mother and cubs chowing down on salmon. Good times.

Is this a Navy thing? I visited a frat bro who was Navy a few years after graduation and he had window shades fashioned from beer cans and fishing line. Also Florida. But he was originally from Jersey.

Anyone watching the Mets bow out? Gary just pointed out that the Rays pitcher has the same wind up as Sid Finch. They just posted a pic of Sid and a freeze frame of the Ray and it's, well, amazing. Here's the Sid pic And a clip of the Rays pitcher

I'm a big fan of covers (not cover bands) when they are done well. Was never a big fan of Iris, but that was pretty good. Here's a great one I hadn't heard of before this thread that was posted by @Kelly the Dog And because nobody asked, here's another I like that (hopefully) I haven't posted already:

Hopefully by now all of this is water under the bridge and the sale goes through, but I'll call the sale a done deal when it's actually a done deal: https://reflectionsonbaseball.com/steve-cohen-all-that-money-and-still-he-cant-buy-mlb-owners-love/ Cohen’s business legacy is littered with questionable tactics, one of which was reviewed by the Feds for two years. They found smoke, but not the fire, and Cohen escaped with a damaged reputation and some hefty fines. It’s that reputation that’s followed and haunted Steve Cohen. In 2011, Cohen launched his first attempt to by an MLB team. As with the Mets, his money talked to make him the highest bidder for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Alas, Cohen could not convince the required seventy-five percent of his would-be peers to ratify the purchase.

Kiss my grits?

Assuming this is true, I'd love to know what his motivation is. Definitely not something I'd expect from Neon. I remember a story from years ago about how he loved fishing and grew up fishing off bridges and his quote was "if it's good enough for my bait, it's good enough for my plate!". Always loved that line but it seemed out of character (i.e - humble) to me based on his public persona. Prime Time as a Head Coach is a head scratcher for me, seems out of character. Regardless, I wish him well.

That's what I was thinking too - Biscuit.
