Kranepool Chronicles

Beyond-the-grave hot takes from No. 7 -- "The Krane" -- the only player to spend his entire career with the New York Mets. Also channeling @MccarthyjosephL

@Hustlediva1 @SNYtv Plus he's a shameless suck-up in the post-game interviews

[Kranepool Chronicles @KranepoolSez]

@Hustlediva1 @SNYtv We agree on this. I meant he would have to be a lot better than he is now.

[Kranepool Chronicles @KranepoolSez]

@Hustlediva1 @SNYtv Not a fan. He needs to show me more

[Kranepool Chronicles @KranepoolSez]

@michaelgbaron @andrewsteeled Link leads to a page, not to a story. Frustrating

[Kranepool Chronicles @KranepoolSez]

@Hustlediva1 @NYPost_Mets No need to remind. It's permanently stuck in my craw. ☺️

[Kranepool Chronicles @KranepoolSez]

@MarkCHealey Not the first player the Wilpon regime mishandled. They made Kevin Mitchell a pariah. I've never been able to help but feel that Gregg Jefferies wouldn't have been the total flop he was if management knew how to handle the veterans in the locker room.

[Kranepool Chronicles @KranepoolSez]

@LRubinsonWFAN Yes, sure he is, Lori. Every veteran wants to be respected. To be listened to. I hope the dynamic doesn't change when Lindor comes back

[Kranepool Chronicles @KranepoolSez]

@ernestdove Exactly

[Kranepool Chronicles @KranepoolSez]

@MarkCHealey @MLBPA Tee-hee

[Kranepool Chronicles @KranepoolSez]

@martinonyc Let's not get carried away with small sample sizes, Martino. What's so real about it? Back up your claim. I root for Marcus, but the 3-year timeline resembles the face of a cliff.

@johnsaponaro It's a great festival with lots of good food. I've only been once because (a) the temps in Gilroy run triple digits that time of year, (b) parking is in a dusty parking lot and they bus you in the rest of the way, (c) the traffic to get to the lot once you exit 101 is ungodly. ☺️

[Kranepool Chronicles @KranepoolSez]

@johnsaponaro I'm still waiting for my annual Rainier cherry fix!

[Kranepool Chronicles @KranepoolSez]

@johnsaponaro We're in south San Jose--20 miles south to Gilroy-Castroville-Prunedale farm country for cherries, pistachios, garlic, artichokes etc. East Coast transplant. God, I love Cally

[Kranepool Chronicles @KranepoolSez]

@johnsaponaro Pretty awesome. My Czechoslovak ancestors used to make peach (and plum) dumpling season started each spring

[Kranepool Chronicles @KranepoolSez]

@SNY_Mets Feels like a ROLE to me here

[Kranepool Chronicles @KranepoolSez]

@WexlerRules Yeah, I'm in

[Kranepool Chronicles @KranepoolSez]

@ultramet Ron Darling comp

[Kranepool Chronicles @KranepoolSez]

@TheGontheC @SNY_Mets @SNYtv Yeah, I agree with this

[Kranepool Chronicles @KranepoolSez]

@Ben_Yoel To me, this is the highlight of the season so far. Love to see it!
