This All-Star game is boring. In an effort to liven things up, let’s hear a joke from Super Dave Osborne.

What gives Ray Lewis the moral authority/high ground to speak about OBJ’s alleged and media-contrived character flaws? I guess God was “removed from his life” that night when he was (at the very least) an accomplice to a double murder? #smh

This has to make @awfulannouncing This Week In Hot Takes. So, Yoenis is an "a-hole" for sometimes wearing his hat backwards, and making a few underhand throws in fielding drills? https://t.co/tCwWpwFKJR

Sherman: Are Yoenis Cespedes' camp antics a Mets problem? https://t.co/VVj2OiVArh via @nypostsports

I am really glad that the Mets want Tebow to get more PA than Rosario and Lagares in an exhibition game #smrtbaseball https://t.co/2DbnVVMoP4

Friday's Mets lineup (day half of a split squad). Juan Lagares makes his Grapefruit League debut, and Tim Tebow bats cleanup:

@CSchwartz18 I actually like the Bruce deal in a vacuum but my fear was/is that signing him signals that they are worried about Conforto returning to full potential and Dom Smith being a bust (they apparently told Bruce he will be playing a lot of 1B)

[Alex Burwasser @AlexKBurwasser]

@CSchwartz18 Very true. I don’t think they are the 5th best team, but they could have the 5th best record solely because they play PHI/ATL/MIA 57 times this year. Worth the short-term risk.

[Alex Burwasser @AlexKBurwasser]

Another way of putting this is if #MetsTwitter wants to be upset at Sandy and the front office, they should direct their anger to the lack of farm system, not the free agent signings/money spent this offseason

[Alex Burwasser @AlexKBurwasser]

If you’re going to evaluate any Mets move this offseason, you have to do it with the lens that they have zero top prospects to trade (Rosario = untouchable) that would return top level MLB talent. It’s unpopular to say but signing short-term, cheap deals for veterans is smart?

More wins at Citi Field in 2018: @NYRangers or Matt Harvey?

[Alex Burwasser @AlexKBurwasser]

Has there ever been a GM that openly and publicly dislikes a player as much as Sandy Alderson does with Matt Harvey?

[Alex Burwasser @AlexKBurwasser]

The only logical reason to trade Harvey at this point is if the Mets think he is totally done and his value will actually decrease by the trade deadline

On the other hand, my reaction to Giancarlo leaving the division and NL all together:

[Alex Burwasser @AlexKBurwasser]

3 of the 4 teams in the NL East are either doing complete rebuilds (Phillies, Braves) or are trying to start one (Marlins) and the Mets will almost certainly do nothing this offseason to warrant seriously taking advantage of this opportunity

[Alex Burwasser @AlexKBurwasser]

2006 Carlos Beltran was arguably the greatest season a Mets position player has ever had, but to some, he will only be remembered for one moment that year, which sucks because he was so damn fun to watch in his prime

@ReidVineis I am shocked that you would consider anything related to Cabela's as a pet peeve. Sad!

[Alex Burwasser @AlexKBurwasser]

Other sneaky part of this trade is that it almost guarantees that Lynch makes another heist of a draft day trade with a QB-desperate team

[Alex Burwasser @AlexKBurwasser]

The upgrade in uniforms from Pats (hideous/clunky) to Niners (classic/elegant) will somehow make Jimmy G even more handsome
