Oh, you said you was never intending To break up our scene this way But there ain't any use in pretending It could happen to us any day And how long has this been going on?

100% possible.

You may be right. You also may be wrong. It's unlikely we'll ever know, but I think/suspect he tried to drill the batter when he either caught IKF coming down the line or heard his teammates yelling that he was coming down the line as that would have sent IKF back to 3rd. Said it to my son right after I saw teh replay and the next inning the ESPN crew speculated the same.

Interesting thing about that play is that I think the pitcher tried to drill the batter to prevent the run from scoing.

That moment for me came years earlier when as the DC of the Jets he gave the Dolphins the choke gesture after a missed XP late in the game that would have tied the score.

Reaching for an oversized chrome spoon He gathers an intimate quantity of dried muffin remnants! And, brushing his scapular aside Proceeds to dump these inside of his shirt He turns to us and speaks: "Some people like cupcakes better. I, for one care less for them!"

Whoever wrote that overlooked the fact that Correa is having an off year. Unless he's lost the clubhouse (and besides pointing at the poor play I haven't seen anything hinting at that) I'll be surprised if Buck gets canned.

@Gugny @Another Fan Ditto to engaging with our small group - I love hearing from perspectives I respect - whether I agree or not. Helps shape my opinion. Lindor is a fun topic. My closest friend despises him. He hasn't been able to rebut my claim that Lindor's 2022 season was the best season a Mets SS has ever had. At the same time I can acknowledge that while he is an elite defensive SS he's been highly disappointing at the plate years 1 and 3. He's gotta hit above .260 IMO On a lamp note - me and the fam will be in attendance this coming Friday courtesy wifeys company tickets. Last year we went and it was DJ night - which was horrifying for me. As is turns out this Friday is LGBT pride night, yippee. TBH I'm probably more OK with LGBT night than I was with DJ night. Either way I'm there for the game.

This comparison resonates with me 100%. I grew up with parents that were golfers and got pretty damn good at driving a golf ball. Drifted away from the game and when I came back my swing was lost and every time out was infuriating - to the point that I realized I was spending my discretionary time on something aggravating. So I stopped playing. I've also spent a lifetime rooting for teams (Bills. Mets, Islanders) whose bad times have far out-weighed their good times. and like you I intend to always remain a Bills/Mets/Isles fan - & enjoying the ride wherever it leads each season. Funny thing is a few of my closest friends like the same teams and they are in the rant/hate mode - yet they still root for the team. I don't get it, to each their own but seems like a poor use of discretionary time.

Without you I was broken But I'd rather be broke down with you by my side

Felling trees is an overtly dangerous proposition - but your thoughts apply to a dangerous activity that most of us engage in on a daily basis and by and large take for granted - driving a car. Appreciate your post.

Bing bing bing....Richochet Rabbit! I can't remember ever seeing a goal like that.

@ExWNYer @Gugny @Another Fan Sharing an 'article' from the NY Post. It's pretty much just a long set of quotes from Steve Cohen. It's either repetitive or consistent depending on your perspective - from my perspective I like Cohen's overall tone and messaging. Two things that stuck out on my first read: "Verlander went out the other night and pitched three innings. The start before he threw 120 pitches. Is one related to the other? Might be, I don’t know, it’s way above my paygrade." - um, very few things are above your paygrade Steve! I liked comparisons to his hedge fudge management and his intent to build internally. https://nypost.com/2023/06/10/steve-cohen-not-going-to-blow-up-over-troubling-mets-start/ EDIT: the other thing I wanted to mention is that he channeled a quote that I always attributed to Bobby V: you are never as great as you think you are, and when things are going really bad, you are not as bad as you think you are

Outstanding!!!! Had he heard the line before?

After reading @ExWNYer's post i was about to post much of the same thoughts. This season was always about pitching. In particular relying on Scherzer and Verlander which thus far has been a disaster. Throw in the Diaz injury which shortened the bullpen, the starter (whose name I can never remember) going down til July/August and the Peterson suckfest and the bullpen has been further strained/exposed. Vogelbach needs to go, but IMO that's like complaining about the bread after you dropped big coin on a maggot-ridden filet mignon. With regard to the youngsters: Alvarez looks like a beast. I like Baty but I need to see more. Doesn't appear to have a strong arm but if he becomes a stronger hitter that won't matter. Vientos is an enigma. Not sure why he's on the MLB roster if he isn't gonna get at bats. With Pete out maybe he gets a chance. At this point I'd embrace Mauricio at 2B and McNeil in LF. One last thought courtesy of my son. He suggested a trade of Marte and Vientos for Alek Manoah - who just got sent to the minors. Not sure why the BJ's would want to make that trade - and I suggested that Mauricio might have to be included instead of Vientos - but getting young, high-ceiling pitchers for one or more of our young prospects is worth considering IMIO.

"I like my women like I like my coffee.......bitter. It's an acquired taste". I think that was from Brian Regan.

According to the article below, NYC had their worst ever recorded air quality data yesterday - and ironically it was on the same day that Canada was celebrating National Clean Air Day. You can't make this stuff up. https://nypost.com/2023/06/08/new-york-city-recorded-worst-ever-air-quality/

I'm on Long Island and this afternoon it got pretty bad. Not as dramatic as the video you posted but same basic idea - everything had an orange tinge to it and it got pretty dark out.
