I'm a big fan of Jack Johnson, first time I came across his music was from a Curious George movie when my kids were young. In case your're interested there is an awesome user on spotify that made a few jack johnson playlists - username is karlov2. The first (Jack Johnson 1) is my fave.
I had some crazy vision
One I can't deny it
It said, "Open my eyes leave it all behind"
I heard the wind a whisperin'
Strong magic comin' on
It's comin' out for sure
Come see your children, yeah
They're lightin' up the skies
Nice call on Garces, I had forgotten about him. There's something about non-athletic looking players that makes them endearing. Vogelbach had that going for him, but unfortunately hasn't produced enough. As I recall Garces was pretty good.
Not to make light of extended power outages but if you don't have a generator then you're probably eating pretty good for a few days. When it comes down to deciding between the steaks or the hot dogs it's an easy choice.
All the best to you and your neighbors, hope your power is restored sooner rather than later.

Looks like the fire sale is in full swing. Scherzer waived his no-trade and it looks like he'll be dealt to the Rangers.

I thought it was more likely that Verlander would get dealt and now I'll be surprised if he doesn't get moved.
When the dust settles I'll look forward to seeing more of Vientos and hopefully Mauricio too. But I think we'll be in for some p!ss poor pitching.
Your posts in this thread are barely above the level of the Yankee fans who only add to the thread when things are going well. Your Italian angle is at best a head scratcher.

This is outstanding, Bartolo will retire as a Met!

lol - one person's inane lyrics are another's best. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and ....
Beauty is a French phonetic corruption of a short cloth

Things changed back in '75
We were all growing up on the in and the outside
We got in trouble with the police man
We got busted getting high in the back of my friend's van
If I wash my car
You know I'm gonna feel all right
If I wash my car
You know I'm gonna feel all right
If I wash my car
I'm gonna feel like a star tonight
Funny that you mentioned the 101 wins. I saw that in the last few days and had forgotten about that. The way the last month or two of 2022 went it didn't feel liek a 101 win season.
Tonights pitching matchup is interesting - two free agents who didn't see the field until recently.
Hey yeah
Tell me what you did
You can call it what you want
But I call it messing with the kid
Elwood, Elwood!
-Yeah?
You wanna mess with the kid?
-Nah Jake, I don't wanna mess with the kid...
I found the simple life ain't so simple
When I jumped out, on that road
I got no love, no love you'd call real
Ain't got nobody, waitin' at home
Runnin' with the Devil

I saw today that Guillorme went on the IL and figured it might open up an opportunity for Mauricio. Instead they called up journeyman Mendick. In fairness I don't pay attention to the minors so maybe there's a good reason but with Marte, Pham and Guillorme all on the shelf I thought we might see Mauricio. At the least I hope it opens up at bats for Vientos.
