They just showed what appears to be a hawk on the big screen and everyone in my section started chanting “Bird! Bird! Bird! Bird!” This has been the most entertaining part of the Mets game far.
Paul Skenes just finished the eighth inning with a 101-mph fastball on his 91st pitch. He has allowed two hits, hasn't walked a batter and has struck out eight. And he is in line for his first loss, as a fifth-inning Nolan Arenado home run accounts for the only run in a 1-0 game.
The real story of Moneyball is that a team developed Barry Zito, Mark Mulder, Tim Hudson, Miguel Tejada, and Eric Chavez and had them all in their prime, yet they failed to win a single playoff round because they were too cheap to spend money around them.
This Curtis Granderson catch with the Mets in the 2016 NL Wild Card game doesn't get talked about nearly enough. I remember shaking in the stands when he hit the wall and held onto the ball.
The Mets need to extend Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil and make them and Brandon Nimmo the homegrown core that spends their entire career with the Mets. We've never had that before, and it's about time.
Gary Cohen: And Mark Vientos strikes out to leave the bases loaded. At the end of six, it’s the Braves 10, the Mets one.
Citi Field PA announcer: Mets fans, welcome back to the field, the Queens Crew!
Kate Middleton’s team issues statement to Page Six amid online speculation on her whereabouts:
“Kensington Palace made it clear in January the timelines of the Princess’ recovery and we’d only be providing significant updates. That guidance stands.”
Since Pride Nights became a mainstay across MLB ballparks, more players have spoken out against Pride Nights than have spoken up in support of the LGBTQ+ population. That's a real problem teams need to address, but I won't hold my breath that they will.
Mets fans who laughed at Zach Wheeler's contract last winter (5 years, $118 million) are openly rooting for the team to give a 5-year deal worth $30 million AAV to Trevor Bauer. Wheeler has better career numbers across the board, in case you're interested.
"This Marlins group has been very pesky. Haven't made it easy for the Mets." - Keith Hernandez
"Well, if the Mets would just get a big hit every now and again, they wouldn't be so pesky." - Gary Cohen
BREAKING:
Trump has been fined $364 million by Judge Engoron in the New York civil fraud case.
Engoron bans Trump from serving as an officer or director of any New York corporation or other legal entity in New York for 3 years.
I appreciate the Mets' dedication to screwing over the Yankees. Beat them two out of three earlier this month and then laid down and died against their biggest rivals. Respect.
Haha my mentions are a mess, I made the Stoolies and Shapiro fanboys mad. Anyway nothing to promote here, but as a reminder:
Wear a mask.
Black Lives Matter.
Trump lost the election fairly.
Let's Go Mets.
Breaking: Sources have identified loud banging at Mets games and are investigating whether it could be related to the sign-stealing scandal. MLB is looking into this individual in connection with the noise.
Goddamnit I'm doing this now.

I know it won't be popular, but at some point MLB has to intervene and make the call that East coast and cold weather city teams should play the first two weeks on the road. Only warm weather cities and domed stadiums should host baseball games until mid-April at the earliest.

How bout we take it a step further and say disrespecting a fellow human being should never be tolerated? Or is that too much?
Coronavirus spreading fast
Donald Trump's head's in his ass
