what, no one home again?

It gets quiet here on weekends. Should be exciting to see Cueto pitch, though.

To answer the question, yes, in a heartbeat. Ollie is going to be a serviceable mid-rotation guy for years now, and that’s the going rate for serviceable mid-rotation guys. Fewer years would be better, of course.

i would’ve said this even if I hadn’t slept through the first four innings

well, that's incredible

Batting out of turn in a major league game! Here’s a fine testament to Dusty Baker’s managerial skill and attention to detail.

hmm

First, a 42 yo man steals home, now this. It’s been a weird week.

nice victory today

good series as well. I always like to see the reds get owned.

5 years

5 years is too many for Ollie.
I would like him signed though.

I was inspired by Eric's comment that Olerud had the best 3-year run as a Met outside Carlos Beltran to look at a few different Mets, and when I noticed that two of my all-time favorite players (Alfonzo and Strawberry) were kinda screwed by having (relatively)bad seasons in between some really good seasons, I decided to see which Mets had the best 3 seasons, period (non-consecutively). Beltran still comes out on top, but my all-time favorite player Alfonzo comes in 2nd place, and him and Straw are the only two to have three 6.0+ WAR seasons. Also interesting that Hundley comes out ahead of Gary Carter, Cleon Jones almost finishes ahead of Mike Piazza, and Joe McEwing doesn't make the list.
