Now that the draft is over I think it's a fair question to ask. The WR position still worries me but I think it was a solid draft. I want to see Allen make it through the grind of a full NFL season before I'm ready to declare him the next Jim Kelly but there's obviously good signs. He seems to be taking more of a leadership role this offseason and doing things that may not readily be apparent as far as stats go. On the other hand I really drank the Bills Kool Aid the offseason of 2012. I wasn't a member of this site yet but apparently the Mario Williams signing thread is still the longest in this sites history. That was a huge deal at the time. Plus that team reminded me of this one in terms of the good morale of the players. However, the 1st game against the Jets that year we got destroyed. At the end of that year I said I'll always wait and see. The Jets on the road is the 1st game this year. Hopefully that one sets the winning tone. In short I'd go with cautiously optimistic. There's good stuff this off season but aren't going to get over confident.

Speaking of the good old days of 2015-2016 the Mets didn’t lose a single game to the Reds those 2 years. Even had the clincher win there in 15’. They fought back but tonight was another reminder time changed

Was a nice win. I always love watching Sunday afternoon games. Something that feels old school about it. The next month or two should be interesting. If the team stays status quo at around .500 VW seems like the type that would want to be proactive. Or at least talks a tough game when it comes to that. Perhaps we’ll see if the Wilpons influence is still as strong with the new administration

Well we all have a face that we hide away forever and take it out and show ourselves when everyone has gone

Idk know if worried is the right word but now starting to get a wee bit concerned about DeGrom. Something just doesn’t seem right there

Cause they’ll be sunshine yes I’ll be walking into sunshine Give me the sun so all my rainy days will all be done

Rain feel it on my fingertips Hear it on my window pane Your loves coming down like rain Wash away my sorrow take away my pain

Anyone following the new season? Just watched the first episode. Lol. There’s a part of me in the back of my head that senses the ridiculousness of it all. Especially all the coincidences that happen in it if you watch the series. What can I say though I’m a sucker for this sort of thing!

Mines seven years old with almost the amount of miles you have on yours. People always tell me to get a new car. Do you get that a lot?

Mine has 68,100. That’s probably pretty low compared to a lot of people.

Thanks! That looks right up my alley in terms of movies. Im really not into mainstream films but older quirky ones. This was one I watched recently I thought was good https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_(1984_film)

Each time we have a quarrel it almost breaks my heart. Cause I’m so afraid we’ll have to part. Each night I ask the stars above why must I be a teenager in love

Bowling alley parties were the sh*t back when I was in middle school. You got to bowl, play arcade games, then go in the break room to eat the cake and watch MTV when they actually played music. That was during the 90s and things changed a lot to say the least since then. However I was talking to a bank teller recently and her son was hosting one. So maybe that sort of thing is trendy now with kids again? I’d have no idea

Give it to me Give me that stuff that funk that sweet that funky stuff (say what)

A little off topic but just because I'm an overly nostalgic guy in his 30s I'll go this route. Kobra Kai 2 is now on YouTube. Pretty sure Ralph Macchio is a Mets fan him being from Long Island. In the first season in his office there was Mets stuff then he threw out the first pitch last year Good discussion above though about Mickey. See how tonight goes

Honestly I only watched some of Monday night’s game and caught some of last nights on the radio driving home. I take it tough it must be bad if you’re hoping to see fights? You sort of always struck me as not a fan of that stuff Anyway though I have a feeling the Phillies/Mets rivalry is heating up again

Some years back there was this sleazy infomercial where this guy was selling the product The All Mighty Cleanse. I think you could guess what it was supposed to do ? While the product itself looked questionable there was a point when they looked at the colon of the oldest person alive it was as healthy as can be. I do though think that healthy colon=healthy living.

Great efforts the last two nights. Maybe a sweep? Loved how Matz appeared to move on

I’d voice my opinion on that here but don’t want this turning into a PPP thread. I’ll enjoy the lighter comments ?

I take it its not 96k per one year but over the course of 3.5?

There was a comment on YouTube (granted it can be BS for all I know) that said last year at training camp one day Allen didn’t sign any autographs for anyone yet Nathan Peterman took the time to be accommodating to everyone. So in the end being a good guy unfortunately doesn’t win games. On the other hand it’s good to see this behavior if he’s gonna be the face of the franchise.

Never watched. Couldn’t tell you the name of one cast member nor would I recognize them if they were standing right in front of me

As far as today's game... I listened to some of it. In general I don't like intentional walking the #8 hitter that early in the game. That seemed kind of weak. As it turned out that was a dumb move, especially with the passed ball that happened next. However, I do believe sometimes it's just not your day. That seemed to be the case today. At least it seems Alonso is okay after the foul ball. On a positive note kudos to MacNeil. Fastest Met to 100 hits

Good rye bread from the bakery.

I was hoping these communication issues that always seem to surround the Mets were done. Granted in this day in age with social media news becomes instantaneous whenever somebody looks at somebody the wrong way or farts. Still something about all this rubs me the wrong way about how things are run
