George here, is me. I am George. Every day since November 2016. A brief respite of four years (Thank you, Joe) before it resumed November 5,2024. Much worse this time,though.

Many people have already shared things I would have said, so I will share the random fact that he was the Mets first baseman when they debuted the short-lived “ice cream man” caps, which were white with blue bills.

Never played in the minors, and the best pure hitter to ever wear a Mets uniform. And while nobody played 1B like Keith, Olerud was probably the 2nd best glove at 1st the Mets ever had. There are players not as good as him in Cooperstown.

Maybe the best pure hitter the Mets had in the 90s. Those teams played unreal infield defense and he was a big piece of that too. Always seemed like a down to earth guy.

If you’re wondering who’s guiding our transition, it’s the best New Yorkers that money can’t buy.

It was their personal dynamic that did it. They had diametrically opposed on-air personalities. They didn't hate each but clearly didn't really like each other either and definitely did not want to be on-air partners since each felt he should have his own show. It was just great radio entertainment.

Mike and the Mad Dog were fascinating in that two people with zero objective knowledge made a whole career out of bloviating about sports.

If you went to any sports bar and handing a mic to the loudest patron there you wouldn't get anything much different - yet these guys were somehow stars

I’ll always remember when he came up in ‘88 and took the city by storm.

I do wonder whether if David Cone hadn’t opened his big yap & Gregg got a WS stage whether that might have changed the course of his career.

Ended up a solid complimentary player, but might have been a star.

George Steinbrenner was a terrible man, but he was absolutely rolling in his grave when his kids let Juan Soto walk to the Mets, of all teams.

Seriously, is this prime example of a nepo baby shitting me with this? Just say you don't want to spend any money, Hal.

They had to wait until Daboll was gone. Also remember that he was like the fourth or fifth choice for the job b/c no one wanted to work with Dabs.

But yeah, good riddance.

I worked in an Atlantic City casino that Dykstra frequented while on the Philth. He was usually completely wasted and verbally abused the staff - cocktail servers in particular.
While he was instrumental in 1986, he was (is) a horrible human being.

Other guys can play for the Mets, and are never actually Mets. Like Glavine. Tom Glavine was on the Mets for 4 years, but at no point was he a Met.

Ottavino was whining about Nimmo "maybe" not liking that Lindor was considered captain by the fans. I wonder (1) Is that real? (2) Did that have impact on Lindor? (3) Did that have impact on clubhouse?

Semien has three years. Nimmo has five. Semien is elite defender at 2B and LF now open for Tucker or Bellinger. Also assume McNeil on the way out.

I'm a little sad about Nimmo. And underwhelmed by the return.

Sigh.

Zohran Mamdani walked into the Oval Office with strength, without betraying his own values or beliefs, and had trump eating out of his hand, defending and praising him, even saying it's OK to call him a fascist.

Gave up nothing.
Gained respect.

Absolute masterclass.
