The Marlins deserve every b-slapping that comes their way. I can't think of another franchise that has thrown out top end talent on a repeated basis. I don't blame the region for not supporting the team

Jeter discarded an outfield of Stanton, Yelich and Ozuna as well as Realmuto behind the plate. None of those players are 30 years old yet.

They're just pacing themselves for the long season. My previous post was in jest.

You got it all wrong. NL East teams are great and just keep beating up on each other. Best division in baseball.

I'm just a soul whose intentions are goodOh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Lol. Kind of like beating the Washington Generals? With Jake and Thor up next we better be at .500 on Monday.

It did appear to me that you were blasting her. Thanks for clarifying. But you lost me with the extra cash comment (disagree) and the next bus driver comments (irrelevant, thats hiring practices)

Hindsight is 20/20, especially with video. We all fall into routines. That bus driver probably ran that and similar routes tons of times. The fact that the driver was still aware after opening the door should be commended not condemned IMO.

Umphreys (and friends) nailing a classic:

I think we live in a very forgiving society. Two things that often factor into forgiveness are a show of contrition and time. Neither one is on Kraft's side right now.

Best home first inning in 40 years. Wheeler strikes out 11 but gives up 9 hits. Not sure what to make of that, maybe just a sign of the times. The positive for me is he went 7 and the pitch count was probably around 110. He used to routinely get to that number in 5 innings or less.

Mets up 11-2 and Gary and Keith go to one of my favorites - the box of baseball cards comes out. First one Gary pulls is Manny Mota. As I type Keith is extolling the virtues of Clay Carroll. EDIT: a bonus mention of Bernie Carbo

A pint of beer and a pretty girl, a pack of Camel Lights Another night, another bar...green neon lights Smoke acts as a camouflage for every lizard with a line Forget about the pretty girl, a Saranac will do just fine

Thanks, good points, wasn't challenging you. On top of that Reed played for Rex, Rex brought him to Buffalo and three years later he's calling out Rex's staff when he hasn't had a coaching job since. Not a good look.

Curious why you wonder that. Because Reed didn't respect non-player coaches? Something else?

Hey you, don't watch that, watch this This is the heavy heavy monster sound The nuttiest sound around So if you've come in off the street And you're beginning to feel the heat Well, listen buster You better start to move your feet To the rockinest, rock-steady beat Of madness One step beyond

8 batters in, 7-0 and the only out was McNeil getting thrown out at third. Wish I had actually seen it - my boys were playing video games.

Whaddya gonna give me? It looks just like a Telefunken U-47 You'll love it With leather?

My baby called me up She said, "Why don't you ever take me out? Pick me up in your brand new car You shake the short change from your old fruit jar" I put on my dancin' shoes We headed straight for the rhythm and blues The music was hot, but my baby was not I've got a rocket in my pocket I said a rocket Finger in the socket

Blacked out again down in Mexico Jose Cuervo got me again Wasted again with El Diablo Alcohol my only friend Smash the bottles on the reef Wash the dirt off of my feet That was the summer of my life I’ve been drinking to forget just how good it was I was drinking with you, then I’m drinking till noon Now I’m drinking by myself I’ve been drinking to forget bout the both of us I was drinking with you, then I’m drinking till noon Now I’m drinking by myself Tijuana sunrise shine upon my face

He knows how to talk and he knows how to fight And all the contenders were beat out of sight Sing, Muhammad, Muhammad Ali He floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee

Now when the day goes to sleep and the full moon looks And the night is so black that the darkness cooks And you come creeping around, making me do things I don't want to do Can't believe that she needs my love so bad Come sneaking around, trying to drive me mad Busting in all my dreams, making me see things I don't want to see Cause you're the Green Manalishi with the two-pronged crown

Well the D.A. was pumping my left hand And a she a holding my right And I told her don't get scared Cause you're gonna be spared I gotta be forgiven If I want to spend my living with A long cool woman in a black dress Just a five nine Beautiful Tall With just one look I was a bad mess 'Cause that long cool woman had it all

Looks like Lowrie may return as early as Friday. According to the article below he'll get playing time at 3B over Frazier, J.D. Davis and Broxton are 'candidates to depart'. It would be a bold move by VW to cut ties with Frazier, but my guess is they'll kick that can down the road and option Davis instead. https://nypost.com/2019/05/08/jed-lowries-return-to-the-mets-lineup-is-imminent/

I'm standing at the altar As they play the wedding march I'm in a black tuxedo with my collar full of starch She looks as lovely as she's ever gonna get I wake up from this nightmare in a pool of sweat Oh no, please not that again Love rears up its ugly head
