I have to laugh at all the Ohatani and this and that. And the "why do you think he is going to Japan all the time watch him because he likes the Sushi' talk.

So let that be a lesson; just because a GM goes to watch a ton of games of a very expensive free agent; doesn't mean it is a lock or even a possibility to sign him.

I guess they have Acuna Jr brother? The dude looks like he is still in little league.

They do, but were you really expecting otherwise? Their rotation is horrid, their bullpen is bad outside of the closer, and there is only really one bat in this lineup that remotely scares anyone. They're not remotely a good team right now.

Don't look now but the Metsies are in serious contention for a playoff berth. Now, if you want to see hot garbage check out the South side of Chicago

I had them for dead when they were for out. I even said as much to my Met fan friends. It's almost like they heard me and decided to go on a tear to prove me wrong. I couldn't be happier to be wrong if they in fact pull this off and get into the playoffs. They definitely have a chance now, and it may come down to that series they have with Atlanta.

What I am dying for more than anything as a Met fan right now is to steal Soto from the Yankees. I frankly think the chances are good. Like him or not, Cohen is a megalomaniac, and Mets fans' interests are aligned with his right now. The Yankees are in a tough position. They can't be in a position where they're paying Soto much more than they're paying Judge, and that is precisely what the situation will be if they were to sign him for the kind of money we're talking about.

I expect him to be a Met, and the number will be over $500mm.

In the meantime, let's make the playoffs and see what we can do!
