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.

I noticed this the other day. Makes it look like Pete just hits mistakes

Now is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho? Don't you know, you could make more money as a butcher So, don't waste your time on me

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 think we need @Howard to weigh in on this.

@Another Fan @ExWNYer @Gugny 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.

Well played. With that aside, Snowfall is a favorite Xmas album of mine and as best as I know he defined what it meant to be a class act. RIP.

Not Sabres related but I figured this was a better spot to post than the Quick Laugh thread. https://nypost.com/2023/07/21/handshake-line-hockey-brawl-includes-player-fighting-invisible-opponent/

Yup, thanks, Yup, my bad.

Great point. There's always a rush to judgement on trades but this one has taken some serious twists and turns. Kelenic would have to become a perennial all-star before this trade would look bad to me - and that would still only be if Diaz doesn't return to a semblance of last year. On a separate note @ExWNYer @Gugny - have any of you checked out the latest daily puzzle: Immaculate Grid https://www.immaculategrid.com/ It's a lot of fun. I rarely go 9-9. What's fun for me is comparing notes with my boys. They kill me with the current players and I kill them with the old timers. They've labeled players that played for a ton of teams 'cheat codes'. Good times.

Good stuff as always. We were down by Knoxville, TN for the winning streak - and I kept my fingers off the keyboard to avoid the jinx too. When the Mets went up 5-0 last night I told my son that it would be a 5-4 nail biter going into the 9th. Right idea, wrong score but that's what we've come to expect with this team. Carrasco is given 8 runs and can't make it out of the 5th. Ugh. I think you're probably right about the Mets standing pat and how the season will play out. The intrigue to me is Verlander/Scherzer. The thought of going into next season relying on them again is uninspiring. Plus the Mets moved up Verlander's start by a day so he'll get two starts before the trade deadline: The Mets are off on July 31 and 6 p.m. on Aug. 1 is the trade deadline. So I grabbed Showalter to ask if one plus Aug. 1 equals why Verlander was being positioned for one extra July start. He responded, “You do the math.” Then he paused and added, “Of course.” https://nypost.com/2023/07/16/mets-may-make-max-scherzer-justin-verlander-trade-options/

@Another Fan @ExWNYer @Gugny How you guys living? Hope summer is going well. Fun fact: my summer vacation coincided perfectly win the 6 game winning streak, lol. Lost a few games before we left town and resumed to their losing ways the day we came back. Any thoughts on how to approach the trade deadline? The link below is worth a read- just skip the first three paragraphs. Basic premise is that the juice isn't worth the squeeze wrt being sellers and trying to get prospects back. I think it ignores the opportunity to not start next season with Max and/or Verlander. https://nypost.com/2023/07/17/mets-surrendering-at-trade-deadline-would-just-be-a-waste-of-time/
