Not cause of Covid just cause he realized he was a Met
Even if you get run over by a clown car and pissed on by a busload of school children, it's still your responsibility to interpret the meaning of the event and choose a response

Surprised this hasn't been bumped for their cancellation shenanigans, but this is game action:

Marlin steals home vs Mets despite nearly falling on his face



He had already stolen second and third, so maybe a little more attention would have been merited.

Spelling BVW's first name wrong brings this even further into lolmets territory.
Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.

Seems weird BVW would get that wrong. Feels like Wilpon covering maybe?

Oh! It was MY boss who suggested that? Oops. My bad. Great idea! Who'd we get?

Credit where it is due...the moment of silence/tip cap to other team/walk off the field/BLM jersey on home plate last night was really well done.

Know nothing about Cohen so that’s probably the right call

They're gonna make a big run at JT. They really need a catcher, and they're gonna have the richest owner in baseball. Ugh.

Cohen will own 95% of the Mets. The team is valued at approximately $2.475 billion. The deal is pending MLB approval (23 owners must vote yes).

im assuming the mets dont get a vote. the rest of the NL east should band together to troll the Mets and vote No. then just need to find 3 more trolls.
