even with everything falling apart around them, Sandy Alderson still finds time to promote the .222 hitting Tim Tebow to High-A.Comment

Ron Darling has had enough of these crappy Mets trainers:

Maybe the Mets should hire this guy as a trainer. He seems to know a lot about how to stay healthy.
According to Mike Puma of the New York Post, the Mets remain open to a reunion with Bartolo Colon.
The speculation started as soon as Colon was designated for assignment by the Braves last week. The 44-year-old is still owed about half of his $12.5 million salary, so he's a sure thing to clear waivers and will be eligible to sign with any team on Thursday. Colon posted an unsightly 8.14 ERA over 13 starts with the Braves and might not have much left in the tank at this point, but Puma writes that the Mets view him as insurance for the rotation. Of course, he's also a fan and clubhouse favorite.

Great rant by Darling. I remain a big fan.
And as for Colon, why not? Fan favorite. And it would be a good acknowledgement that this season is toast. Typical Mets would finish 15 games back but in second place, thereby ruining any shot at decent draft picks.Comment

Why not? I would think the Mets would be better served at looking at some youngsters and figuring out what they have for 2018 rather than bringing in a 44 y/o with nothing left but extra poundage and bad jeri curls. I realize many think the Mets are a circus but that doesnt mean Alderson needs to confirm it by bringing in Colon.Originally posted by Sharky View PostAfter former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push?

Colon has a weird charisma that at least appeared to energize the Mets' clubhouse. I'd bring him in for 2 starts. after the last two seasons, if he won a couple, that team might wake up. I really can't explain it.
My expectation would be that he sucks, gets released, and they vanish without a trace until selling off half the team on July 31. but it's a lottery ticket I would play.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

Maybe the Mets need to figure out what direction they are going in. They are 7 games under .500 and they have ton of players on the DL. I would think the better moves would be to sell off Bruce, Cabrera, Reed, Reyes if he ever gets on a hot streak and Walker if he does look healthier by trade deadline and bring up their younger players so they get some major league seasoning. The players traded are likely not going to be with the Mets next season so why not and this gives them a chance to stock some prospects. They can still come back next season with a competing team.Comment

And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.Comment

I was at the Conforto game Thursday afternoon for an annual meetup with a pal on a midweek matinee.
same section as usual, except instead of about $75 apiece, I got seats there for $8.87 on Stubhub.
we'd have gone regardless of price, so not a bad deal!finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

What do you guys think Wilmer Flores' role will be on this team? Will he get enough ABs to be worth keeping in an NL only for 2 bucks?Comment
