Still, I do like the passion and the excitement on a day where I was able to work from home and catch a ball game at the same time.

What do we think? Tylor Megill, Drew Smith, Joely Rodriguez, Seth Lugo, and Edwin Diaz combine on the 2nd no hitter in Mets history!

I didn't even realize the bid was on until Gary and Ron pointed it out when the pen came in. (playing the Coonie Coons alongside in the early innings also didn't help ...) The last innings were tense. I think I need my second shower of the day now. Drew Smith's got a no-hitter now! I love Drew Smith! He looks perpetually confused! ... I just wish we wouldn't try to make his brittle arm fall off with 30+ pitches while sitting down in between. MEEEEEEEETS!!

Mets drop Cano. Thank you brodie! I think we still owe him $40 million

One of the beat writers said that when SAC was presented with the various options for Cano he said "make the baseball decision". And they did!

He passed way bigger kidney stones for stupid moves by other people... What's $30m-or-so after the Gamestop debacle?

So Collin McHugh pitches for the Barves now, but used to be a Met before being traded to the Rockies for Eric Young jr.
Meanwhile, Eric Young sr. is a coach for the Barves, but hit the first home run in a Rockies home game - against the Mets? Kids, I tell ya. The world's a village.

I just read that Cano's OPS with the Mets was .765.
As not great as that sounds, know this...Pujols, in ten years with the Angels, managed a .758 OPS. |

From the data on baseball-reference, the two cost the same over ten years ($240m), so it's only fair the OPS is mostly the same.
Of course, the Mets also got Cano's old-man defense for most of the time.

One would think that a decent hitter can be found in every franchise, at the AAA level. Probably more than one, and ALL of them could do better than a .758 OPS. Hell..find the guy in your farm system that knows how to draw a walk, and can get an OBP of .375 or better. Hit him second, and you're Gucci. |

And... that's like 10 days of .500 ball. Not the way to go into 4 games with the yuckbirds.

I wanted nothing more than a 2-run walkoff single from Pete.
The baseball gods said no. My eyes are wet.
