Follow up. The individual with the starter pack was very accommodating. I appreciate his/her courtesy.

Howdy #MetsSky. Took some work but finally found source of all the non-Mets related followers. I sent DM to the person who owns that starter pack requesting my removal. Hope it happens. Cold morning here but leaving shortly to support wife in Bocce tournament. [Triple Chocolate decaf] Carpe Diem!

Good morning Sue. It was actual double chocolate fudge, but instead of using 1% milk, I added chocolate almond milk! Yum!

They won. Now tomorrow, they play the team with the pain in the butt that is undefeated. If wife's team wins, it forces a playoff between the pain in the butt and the other team that has only one loss.

Good morning and thanks. Her team won't win in all, but they'll probably win today (continued rain shortened game). It's the next one we want, against a loudmouth pain in the keister who needs to be humbled!

Good morning Rachel. Coffee first requires me to get out of bed. I think I'm just going to hang out here for a while. Hope you have a terrific day.

#Mets have signed Joe Jaques, lefty reliever, to a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training.

#MetsSky Interesting article about Kai Correa for those interested.

It feels like the NY Mets hired Kai Correa for Mark Vientos more than anyone else
The New York Mets just made a hire that feels less about press releases and more about solving a very specific problem. Kai Correa arrives with a reputation for

You can do whatever you choose. I intend to keep a positive outlook, especially as the new coaching staff is hired, the team is constructed and the games begin.

We'll just have to agree to disagree on Mendoza.

If you blame 2025 solely on Mendoza, you didn't watch enough games. There's plenty of blame to go around.

No, they didn't fire everyone. Richardson & Druschel still here & Sherlock retired. Calloway leaves after two years, Rojas leaves after two years, Showalter leaves after two years. You don't fire Mendoza after two because it's a bad look & NO ONE will ever want to manage here.

At least give the new staff a chance to get together, assemble a team and start to play some games?

Good morning #MetsSky. Late start as I had monthly men's breakfast. 25 guys out to local restaurant drinking coffee & telling tales. From what I can tell based on more savvy people that myself, #Mets added two surprising but good coaches. Looking to see who else joins the staff. Have a great day!

I understand, but I still qualify for fossil status. It was one amazing summer. The first men walking on the moon, followed by Woodstock and surrounded by the most impossible pennant race imaginable.

Won't know until we see results. I do like that hitting coach does not take cookie cutter approach, recognizing that each hitter has particular skills and you work to improve those as opposed to changing things. Sounds right to me.

Correa is currently on Cleveland coaching staff. He was also bench coach for San Francisco. I think he was also interim manager there for a short period of time. Well regarded in Cleveland.

Looks like these vacancies being filled quickly. That's good. Be nice to be done before free agency starts.

I was home with friends watching the game. As the Mets poured champagne on their heads, my friends and I poured Hires Root Beer. Made a mess but who cared?!?
