If you only have a few bucks to spare, consider donating to @TheRealSmith2_‘s charity rather than buying his jersey (which is just giving money to MLB).

Or do both! But support #BBG.
Here is the donate link baseballgenerations.com/bbg-foundation
Price of one Dom Smith jersey, $119.

Thank you @TheRealSmith2_. We are with you. #BlackLivesMatter Image

The Mets have just had what is objectively the best, most fun, and downright historic ten day stretch in franchise history, and perhaps even MLB history. Lindor's home run last night, as incredible as it was, was not the biggest moment. I'm taking a crack at ranking them here 🧵
#9 - Peterson 7IP 1H 0ER in Milwaukee on 9/29 to send Mets back to Atlanta controlling their own destiny.

#8 - Peterson and Garrett combined for 5IP 1H to quiet the Phillies in Philadelphia in NLDS Game 1.
#7 - We ultimately don't pull this one out, but Vientos's 2 run home run against Strahm to tie the game in the top of the 9th in Philadelphia in NLDS Game 2 will be an all-time clutch Mets performance.

Sorry to be that optimist, but haven't we all watched enough baseball by now to know that anything can happen? This Mets team has serious talent on it. The story at the end of the season could be anything.

1/3
In one future, the Mets lose six in a row and Alonso gets injured, they spiral out of contention, Buck gets fired, it's a disappointment.

In another future, Scherzer and Verlander right the ship (as we expected!) and the deep Mets lineup does enough until Alonso gets back.

2/3
A lot of teams have looked dead in early June. But with 99 games left, the Mets don't need to be great in a weak NL East (beating up on the negative run-differential Nats, Marlins, Phils) to play .550 ball from here on out. The talent is here.

3/3

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Giacometti's "Pointing Man" is the most famous work in Steve Cohen's collection, but Hirst's "The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living" is the best one. Image
By calling his sculpture “The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living,” Hirst is challenging us to comprehend death. He’s telling us we can’t fathom “death,” even though we are face-to-face with a dead animal. blog.sevenponds.com/soulful-expres…
The use of a shark is also interesting, as we come face-to-face with the most notorious killing machine on our planet. And even though it is harmless we gaze upon it and can't help a primal feeling of imminent, non-philosophical danger.

Do you do it if it costs Alvarez, Mauricio, Drew Smith and a low level prospect, plus take on half of what’s owed to Patrick Corbin?
Lots of replies. Let’s vote.
This is awesome bc usually when I propose a trade there are fans from both sides yelling at me. This time it's just all Mets fans saying yes. Wonder what #Natitude thinks.

I came out of retirement to look at the historical comps for a potential Juan Soto trade. #Mets #LGM #Soto

"Cabrera and Willis brought two consensus Top Ten prospects, plus other parts. Betts brought much less, two Top ~40 prospects and another piece, because he was attached to Price’s $92 million price tag."
A really great insight--- who even HAS the prospects to deal in such a trade?

Struggling to remember here: who are the best players traded in MLB in the last twenty years? The biggest talents at the youngest age with AT LEAST a full year of control remaining. Bonus points if they are pre-FA contract.
A-Rod and Stanton both had massive contracts. Scherzer was impending FA. Sabathia too. Machado too. Johan too.

I think the answer is Miguel Cabrera? Or Francisco Lindor? Lesser guys like Josh Donaldson?
The best answers so far: Miguel Cabrera, Trea Turner, Mookie Betts, Pedro Martinez, Francisco Lindor.

Yelich was suggested too but he wasn't a STAR at that point.
