The other team in the market already does thatMarginalize the Metropolitans
It's too bad the league in 1961 didn't decide to name the team after the actual zip code, i.e. the Brooklyn Dodgers, instead of the general area, i.e. New York. Imagine how much fun could have been had with naming a team the Flushing *******s.I heard Casting on Friday run through a half-dozen other proposed team names for the Mets back in the 60s. Avengers was one of them.
But isn't Flushing a neighborhood of Queens and isn't Queens more analogous to Brooklyn? What would you do with the Queens ______? I like the Queens Kings.It's too bad the league in 1961 didn't decide to name the team after the actual zip code, i.e. the Brooklyn Dodgers, instead of the general area, i.e. New York.

Both franchises used the city name. Brooklyn wasn’t part of NYC when the Dodgers franchise was established in 1883.It's too bad the league in 1961 didn't decide to name the team after the actual zip code, i.e. the Brooklyn Dodgers, instead of the general area, i.e. New York.

FWIW, I’ve actually heard the radio guys talking about how he sprays the ball around the whole field during batting practice with regularity. And then the game comes, and it seems like he’s just trying to jack one over the monster every time.The Enrique Hernandez thing is looking completely inexplicable at this point.
The only thing I can think of is if they think one week of possible hot hitting might shave a few million $ in a salary dump deal seven days from now. (And how realistic that is, I have no idea, I'm just putting it out there.)
Or maybe he's clubbing the ball in the cage and his inability to hit a baseball on a non-popup trajectory is entirely game-performance mental. (And how realistic that is, I have no idea, I'm just putting it out there.)
But if neither of those are true, just call up Pablo Reyes to be your stopgap to Story (and maybe your backup guy after him.)
And if Arroyo is injured. . .put him on the DL and call up Pablo Reyes.
Same here. It's a lengthier -- and, admittedly, more successful -- version of Donnie Sadler Syndrome. Wouldn't surprise me at all if Keekay's offense improved should he be traded awayFWIW, I’ve actually heard the radio guys talking about how he sprays the ball around the whole field during batting practice with regularity.

Bravo. Pretty sure it’s the krautGame 100
100 games in - just 2 games out.
Are we filled with hope or filled with doubt?
Sometimes it seems like we have some clout:
Other times, we have nothing to tout.
Some games we’re awesome, making fans shout.
Other games, awful, making us pout.
Our hitters can rock, create a rout,
or be so weak it seems they gave gout.
Our pitchers’ arms can be strong and stout,
or serve up cookies like a girl scout.
Is Cora one to cheer or to flout?
Is Bloom a genius or a dumb lout?
Should either get a punch in the snout?
Hard to predict what this team’s about.
Will we struggle like a fish-hooked trout?
Rot on the bottom like old tile grout?
Be on top like hotdog sauerkraut?
Go on a big run or have a drought?
If we want the post season to sprout,
we need some water. Open the spout!
Pablo Reyes, come on down!Arroyo is injured- he jammed his thumb, and may have to go on the DL.

To bridge the current music threads, Arroyo should change his walk-up music to:Arroyo makes Ellsbury look like Cal Ripken.
Being the Team Of The Millenium has really taken the sting out of '86, for me.Won’t be any ‘86 WS mentions tonight I bet. Absolutely none.
The cocaine budget is going to be astronomical.Guests on the Kay-Rod broadcast will be Mookie Wilson, Keith Hernandez
Can you listen to it?Looks like - as a non cable guy - I'm blacked out on my MLB app.
Anyone know, if MLB will post the full video or condensed game after the broadcast?
If so, I may choose to busy myself elsewhere and tune in afterward to watch as if live.
Not as much as Frog in the Throat PerezKarl Ravech sucks so very much.
You missed the Masa interview on the other ESPN.Keith Hernandez now on Kayrod if they fix Audio
The hair hat has affected his brainKarl Ravech sucks so very much.
How did he embarrass himself? I ask that as someone who just watched the interview.The interview with Masa was good on ESPN regardless of Eduardo Perez embarrassing himself.
No fucking way I can put up with A-Rod & M-Kay. I’ll deal with Perez on ESPN.Not as much as Frog in the Throat Perez
Keith Hernandez now on Kayrod if they fix Audio
I can and likely will. A lot of my evening Red Sox viewing is done in the evening, watching silently on the phone with subtitles while I watch TV with the my wife. It's a bit harder to listen and watch things with her, though I have done it before. If I knew for sure the game could be watched later tonight, I'd prefer that option. Oh well. The joys of trying to save on cable and relying on dumb blackout rules.Can you listen to it?
Too lengthy with the questions. Keep it short and easy, he deliberately dragged it out. Maybe embarrassing was the wrong choice but not a Perez fan so it just makes it worse. However I love Masa.How did he embarrass himself? I ask that as someone who just watched the interview.

That's on ESPN. It wasn't a live interview, so his job is to get content and they can then edit however they want.Too lengthy with the questions. Keep it short and easy, he deliberately dragged it out. Maybe embarrassing was the wrong choice but not a Perez fan so it just makes it worse. However I love Masa.
Roster crunch coming up soon….we’ll see what the status of Hernandez is.What did Olney say about Keekay?
