Do you?

No

but I don’t run a blog about them. I, for some reason, still watch most games though.

Fall season hasn't started yet.

And I just don’t feel like paying attention to a DVD.

Awesome

You’re hired.

Thanks

I’ll probably fill in as a situational “recapper” if I happen to be around and an off day is needed. Doing that roll call thing was tiresome, however.

Mets season is lost
Solution nowhere in sight
Next year looks better

Mmmm

It’s not all on Murph. Frankie can’t constantly be putting two men on and expecting to come up roses. Thole on the other hand, wow. He is Ichiro, a single every other at bat!

I understand Thole is playing well in September

But if we waste money for a one-year catcher so that Thole can get some more “seasoning” in AAA next year, I’m going to puke. I’m not a big Santos guy, but I could live with a Thole and Santos platoon next year if we spend the limited money we have on offense at the corner spots.

/my two cents.

Just know, if there's ever a riot at Citi Field and Oliver Perez was the starter, I started the riot.
