Loved when McDichel said later, “All your base are belong to us”.

Thinking “Anyone to the left of Goldwater is a commie” kinda resonates these days. Democrats let the GOP define what the “left” is.

Why stop now? Move Lindor to a contender while they still can. That’s another contract that’s going to age poorly. They could just be honest and say it’s a rebuild year while they build a new team around Soto and the Syracuse kids.

Frankie Montas is the kind of bargain hunting I’m weary of & the experiment with using Holmes as a starter (which worked to an extent). I don’t think that he wants any long term contracts regardless of age. It’s going to be hard to compete with the Dodgers and Phillies for players going that route

Stearns doesn’t value elite starting pitching. This “core” performed well when they had good starting pitching that could go deep into games. 2022 and from June 2024 through June 2025 - their record shows that - besides WS appearances of course. I’m tired of the bargain shopping and experiments.

Dodgers vs Savannah Bananas every night. I could finally give up baseball at that point.

Ummm…this really looks like a teardown. If we didn’t have this rich owner, I’d be thinking 2026 is a rebuilding year and the plan is to build the team around Soto and guys younger than 30. What does Lindor’s no trade look like?

I’m going to hear ad nauseum from the Philly locals, that the Mets refused to pony up Schwarber money for their franchise player.

Alonso should have retired as a Met. This is awful.

The writing was always on the wall. I think there’s a degree of paranoia (the old lolmets excuse) that presumes there was some mistake made or clubhouse dysfunction. That’s entirely possible, but we as fans like to jump to that conclusion vs Diaz wanting to go to the presumed WS favorite.

With the owner we have, can’t we be the evil empire of the NL? I mean, I think we deserve that.

I bet the tattoo scene in the Dune movie is fabulous.
