WTF is going on in Mets land?

 

Tough sports year: Rangers in hell all season, Knicks sucked, Mets imploding, Red Bulls soccer losing ridiculously, Ferrari not winning F1, Giants WTF?

 

But I cannot stop myself from watching. I've now morphed into one of those dopes who slow down to take a hard look at the car wreck and slow traffic (I don't actually do that, but you know what I'm feeling.)

He's quite effective...and still makes guys around him better. I would rather see him shoot in some instances than pass as he is inclined to do, but that's his makeup. At 33 though, and NOT likely to sign for a 3-year deal, I'd have to pass. Love the guy. See his skill clearly. But not where we are headed. #Draft #FA #Younger #Lower$alary #LGR

Too bad. We wanted that pick.

Bishop, holy shit!

 

He?s stopped 52,000 SOG!

Another entertains period. DAL gets better as this game goes long.

Fun third period. Zucc with a late chance to shoot but passes. Great hockey.

METS gonna' met.

 

Did you catch the interview the Mets played of Collins during his FOX Sports debut? He was quite emphatic about the diminishing role of the Manager in today's baseball and how even the lineup card is made for him. He said that the "old days of getting to the park at 11AM for a 7 o'clock game and reviewing tape to help finalize the lineup are over. Now, you come into the office in the afternoon, and a lineup card is on your desk." (Think I got that reported well.)

HUGE statement from Lundy. While I'm initially floored by it, I am also not too surprised either. Maybe the idea of Shesty actually coming over now as opposed to a year or two from now has made the difference.

Damn BOS. I really, really hate them.

Rebuild, re-boot, re-tool, re-do...whatever its called or whatever it is...this is moving along nicely. LGR!

Hearing that Interlagos may be cut soon in favor of a road course in Rio. I'm not sure that's a good idea.

Ugh! It's difficult being a Ferrari fan right now. VET doesn't seem to be able to dial the car in and LEC is once again, a victim! I would have pitted him BEFORE BOT was able to get a tow and pass him and certainly before HAM did too. Geez!! Team Ferrari are inexplicably making poor decisions. VER cannot be too happy either -- he got rid of his team competitor RIC but he too cannot seem to find pace. Oh-well, on to Barcelona.

LOL

^Yup...link is good. Thx

Can see Santana/Doobie at SPAC or Jones Beach too.

 

Thx for the tip...I forgot about that option (Bethel is only about a hour from my house so I tend to think of that site first.)

OMFG' date=' maybe, instead of throwing your arm up at the ref looking for an offsides call, you fucking play the goddamn game. Who was that?!!?!?[/quote']

 

Yup...argue the call later but you just cannot give up on the play. Geez! Pro Hockey 101

Improper use of the word 'epic.' It's everywhere these days.

I have Stones tickets for MetLife if they re-book the date plus Dead & Co. at CitiField this June dancing on the floor somewhere near the stage. (Super bummed that my work and vacation schedule take me away from Bethel for the Woodstock weekend - I really wanted to see Doobies and Santana.)

^At least you get replies. I have stuff 'unanswered' from days, weeks and even years ago...mostly because they are vexing questions that nobody wants to really face (spend $) or think about. Somehow we carry on and get through it all but to me, our process or service can be better.

All sales in NYS?

 

Yup -- all New York State property in a variety of counties. Usually, you can listen to the auction too as a 'guest.' (Not tomorrow though, we only have 1 property in Orange County and I'll be on the cell phone with the office where the Internet will be run. Usually, they are on-site with me and the rest of the team.)

lol

 

Best part of US real estate is all the foreclosures.

 

That?s what I do. We sell about 800-1,200 properties at auction annually. NYSAuctions.com

That 'left lane' obstructionist still pisses me off!

^Must try yourself some Shrimp 'po-boy sandwiches...and a praline or two for dessert.

Does he have a gum sponsor yet?

I'm wondering if NYR really need to 'bottom-out' twice in order to have a successful rebuild. Sure, another #1 or #2 pick would be wonderful, but how realistic is that? I can see a way forward where this year's additions, plus our other moves to date (invites to camp, etc.) AND what we might get from the draft or free agency starts to build our team's ascension in the ranks. I'm not predicting a Stanley Cup next season but I'm questioning just how the addition of 'newer, better parts' can somehow keep us at or near the bottom while at the same time, not take advantage of those same newer talents? I mean at some point, you just start getting better, right?
