@Chicago2100 Most US cities were built before the car

& had walkable downtowns that were bulldozed for highways & parking lots during Urban Renewal while public transit (street car & trains networks) was decimated due to the popularity of the car

The four you noted just had less destruction

[Eric Silverman @ericcsilverman]

@DannyAbriano Subscribed and strong first article!

I am never optimistic as a Mets fan but due to the factors you detailed, I think the odds are in their favor

[Eric Silverman @ericcsilverman]

@JohnLeFevre *Your household making six figures

There is a difference

[Eric Silverman @ericcsilverman]

@WardyNYM It’s a big risk that he can be effective in an MLB bullpen for an entire season

Not worth that risk if you can get a return and/or dump most of his salary

But getting let’s say a minor league non-prospect and eating $10 MM isn’t worth it — I’d go with the risk then

[Eric Silverman @ericcsilverman]

@SleeperMets @efropoker Jefferson Rojas, Emilien Petre, and Mitch Voit are all knocking on the door for a full-time infielder role, Marcus Semien is still being paid, and Brett Baty is still on a low pre-FA salary

Why in the world would Mets add Jeff McNeil?

[Eric Silverman @ericcsilverman]

@ryanschwartztv Get Mark McKinney on the line!

Hands down my favorite moment of this week’s #SNL which was indeed a Millennial 🎯

Outstanding job by the writer who wrote this part

I was not anticipating JAJ's Trump would go 20 seconds on Winston Bishop's character development on New Girl. But we love a Furguson Michael Jordan Bishop shout-out, don't we, folks? (cc: @LamorneMorris)

@PuckFupett69 Good news — he does!

And he’s pretty young. In fact, he’s a decade younger than Chuck Grassley!

[Eric Silverman @ericcsilverman]

@TJStats @ernestdove Indeed

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just Rojas & Wenninger & they risk there being no Rule 5 with the relief prospects

Also, I don’t know if any position players other than Rojas could stick a full 2027 on an MLB roster

[Eric Silverman @ericcsilverman]

@DannyAbriano Yes and yes

[Eric Silverman @ericcsilverman]

@the_transit_guy My brother in Nibbles, I’m not so sure we build bridges period

[Eric Silverman @ericcsilverman]

@DannyAbriano I am so sorry to hear

Your daily insightful coverage of the Mets was so appreciated by folks across the fan base and will continue on Substack or wherever you go next

[Eric Silverman @ericcsilverman]

I’ll add:

SNY has the best baseball podcast globally (The Mets Pod) & the best coverage of Mets prospects anywhere

I hope they continue. But if SNY doesn’t see the value, others will.

(@PSLToFlushing @ConnorJRogers Mets fans will pay $ on Substack for your outstanding work)

[Eric Silverman @ericcsilverman]

I don’t know the economics of the decision including viewership numbers, website traffic, & ad revenue

But as a Mets fan: this stinks

& this is a loss for @Mets too

They had a popular platform across mediums for team-leaning coverage to grow fandom + sell tickets & slashed it

[Andrew Marchand @AndrewMarchand]

NEWS: SNY, the home of the Mets, had major layoffs today, including the cancellation of SportsNite & Baseball Night in New York, The Athletic has learned.

@maggieerogers What — how is that possible?!

I’ve been to that Burger King multiple times and it never had goth employees & last time had terrible service (I waited 30+ minutes for my food)

Someone on this app said it was Newport Ave, so finally stopped there

[Eric Silverman @ericcsilverman]

@AdversusN @igorbobic A blast
