@iam_johnw You can’t make an attempt at the ball or it is live no matter what. if it really is wedged, you’re screwed. This is, and always will be, the right play.
For those who want to compare 2007 and 2025, there is no comparison.
The Mets went 5-12 over the last 17 games, and the Phillies needed to go 13-4 to get past the Mets, and there was just one wild card
This year, the Mets did it all to themselves. There were three wild card spots
The Reds played .500 baseball over the last 3 weeks while the heartless Mets went 8-15
The Mets went 0-70 when trailing after 8
They were 38-55 after June 13
38-55 is a 96 loss pace
#OTD 1988 - Jose Oquendo puts on the catchers gear in the 7th inning in a game against the Mets.
With that, “The Secret Weapon” became the first NL player in 70 years to play all 9 positions in a single season. #STLCards
One of the few things I don’t care for at Citi Field is the hype guy. New York fans do not need this foolishness.
We don’t need to be told to make some noise, or be “entertained” every 30 seconds.
Ken Dryden. One of one. I decided to reread his classic book this summer. The written word was life's goal crease for the introspective introvert. His space. He took it all in. Little got by him--whether pucks or a teammates idiosyncrasies. A great noticer of all things. His iconic stance said so much. "You think I'm detached. That I don't care. I care. I'm confident. I'm relaxed. Everything is fine. We're gonna win."
And they almost always did. 8 seasons-6 Cups-5 Vezinas-1971 Conn Smythe-Calder. There's been nothing like him before or since. A Hockey God.
Former Mets manager Davey Johnson has passed away. Johnson managed the Mets from 1984-1990 and was the team's skipper for their 1986 World Series victory. He owns the highest all-time winning percentage of any Mets manager (.588).
Johnson also won two World Series as a player with the Orioles and played 13 MLB seasons with Baltimore, the Braves, Phillies and Cubs, making the All-Star team four times. Johnson went on to manage the Mets, Reds, Orioles, Dodgers, and Nationals, amassing 1,372 wins. He also served as the manager for Team USA at the 2008 Summer Olympics and the 2009 World Baseball Classic.
RIP.

Say a prayer for #expos legend @timraines30, who is having a rough go of it with a serious recurrence of Lupus which struck him in 1999-2000.
Rock was seen recently in a wheelchair at a card show in Chicago.
Wishing him a speedy recovery.
Super Sky Point to Loni Anderson, perhaps the definitive blonde bombshell of the 70s and who, as the lovely Jennifer Marlowe, always helped hold things together down at everyone’s favorite station on the AM dial. Tell Johnny, Herb, and the Big Guy we still miss them too. #RIP
