Devoted to family, synagogue, and the Mets, not necessarily in that order.
In today’s NEWSDAY, Laura Albanese interprets some of David Stearns’s recent remarks as an acknowledgement that the #Mets may have to offer longer term deals than he would normally prefer in order to sign players like Alonso and Diaz. #MetsSky

#MetsSky With Jon Heyman reporting that the #Mets are interested in 29 yo SP Joe Ryan of the Twins (and his 2 yrs of club control) and the Twins are interested in prospect Jonah Tong, what do we think of a straight up trade like that?

NEWSDAY’s Laura Albanese with a series of anecdotes that portray the essence of former 😢 #Mets player Brandon Nimmo. Thank you, Laura!

@morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social The biggest affront by Prince Harry at the World Series was NOT his wearing a #Dodgers cap rather than the cap of the team from Canada #BlueJays. Rather it was that he sat in front of American royalty, Sandy Koufax. Perhaps he offered to exchange seats? #MetsSky

A #Mets fan’s quandary: rooting for Max Scherzer or rooting for the Dodgers in World Series game 7.

The first day since winter 2024-25 without a baseball story in the sports section. A long winter begins. 🥶 #LGM

I see #Mets fans here who are upset Alonso is opting out.They want him to be loyal to the Mets. I want to be respectful, but I think those fans are wrong. The reserve clause is dead. The Mets could’ve offered Pete a longer contract. He’s now able to get what he can. I hope he gets it from the Mets.

Really excellent article on the #Mets shortcomings for those who can access it. Unfortunately, “gift articles” from THE ATHLETIC can’t be done.

How the Mets lost their groove: Inside baseball’s biggest collapse
Talented, yes, but this year's Mets lacked sizzle. They were MLB's only team never to mount a ninth-inning comeback.

After explaining why the Reds and Diamondbacks would be difficult wild card opponents for the Dodgers, Jessica Mendoza, an otherwise excellent commentator, goes on to say why the #Mets would be the weakest. I hope the Mets get to the wild card round and prove her wrong! #LGM

#MetsSky, let me say in the midst of our misery: We remember when sports radio was the way we could share our thoughts w each other, and it was, and is, an unsatisfying way of doing so. I’m glad I have you all. We don’t always agree, but we are respectful as we take this roller coaster together.

This is a warning to all would-be #Mets fans. I cautioned my grandson, when he had his whole life ahead of him, about the dangers of becoming a Mets fan. His twin sister can vouch for that. From his expression, you can see that he did not take me seriously. We are all paying the price.

Or maybe Keith Hernandez was thinking of “Heat Wave” by Martha & the Vandellas. Whatever . . . . #LGM

While I was walking in Manhattan today, an older lady in an Alonso jersey walking slowly in front of me & her husband motioned for me to pass them. I told them I didn’t mind, because of her jersey. They said they were going to tonight’s game. I’m glad they saw her guy get a key hit. #LGM

@qflea.bsky.social I thought of you when Keith called for a shutdown inning by Luzardo. It didn’t happen.😀 #LGM
