2020 NEW YORK METS: “I want to be on a parade float, drunk as hell.”

he did manage to draw one walk

i guess seth lugo didn’t have it tonight

Hey, Seth, maybe you're not a starting pitcher after all.

I guess Nola and the Phillies bullpen didn’t have it tonight.

yikes

otoh, all brandon nimmo does is win

has a team with a shot on the penultimate day ever seemed deader?

The Mets will make the playoffs if:

-They win all three of their remaining games

AND

-The Giants lose both of theirs

AND

-The Phillies lose both of theirs

AND

-The Brewers lose at least one of theirs

Estimated chance of all that happening, per Fangraphs: 1.1 percent.

i'll take at least one of those things out of the equation: the cardinals WILL defeat the milwaukee brewers at least one more time this regular season

phillies suck, so they'll lose both of theirs

not sure about the giants, though. are they still trying?

O Dom...

of all the times to play Pete Reiser

Outside of the Mets clinching the 2015 pennant, the pure jubilation from fans today is unlike anything I can recall in nearly 14 years covering the team.

They say there is a lot of pressure in New York," he said. "It's a big market, there are lot of people on top of you. But I'm blessed to play the game. I'm Francisco Lindor. I'm going to do me, and hopefully people like that. Hopefully people embrace me. I'll embrace them."

Mets fans shouldn't have any problem doing that for the player nicknamed Mr. Smile. When asked about the first thing he'll do when he gets to New York, Lindor smiled and said, "I love pizza, so I'll probably eat some pizza."

I love this guy already.

Well, didn’t take long for things to go south.

Fucking loser needs to be fired instantly. Don't pull a Wilpon and screw around.

We have terminated Jared Porter this morning . In my initial press conference I spoke about the importance of integrity and I meant it.There should be zero tolerance for this type of behavior.

Thank goodness. Wilpons would have demoted him for two weeks, waited for a firestorm, then fired him.

It still doesn't say much about the Mets' vetting process. While this story might have been kept confidential by ESPN for the last 4 years, I find it hard to believe this is the only woman he has done this to and that this wasn't known to others.

are there any good jareds

the phrase “bare penis” is an interesting one I’m not sure I’ve heard before, summoning an alternate-world standard in which penises wear little outfits

Yours doesn’t?!

my family could never afford one and I guess I just got used to going without

Anyway back to the Mets

is that supposed to mean something, or...??

he was discussing the #stonks -- iirc his hedge fund was one of the gamestop short sellers that got burned

his hedge gae another hedge 2 bn to help cover, iirc

oohhhh! boy, the mets love their shitty financial decisions.

am i really gonna take the side of a billionaire against barstool? possibly

Cohen's jovial "I'm just a working guy like you trying to make a living" is some of the blindest self-own by a rich person since "Let them eat cake."

sandy alderson really has a type

Yeah, I like Alderson, but he maybe needs to go as well.
