For those of you who I have followed, allow me to introduce myself! I was invited to join this app by a Mets family member who is leaving the dark side. I am a diehard. Mets, Rangers, Knicks & LFC Reds fan whose dedication runs deep. They call me #SantaWillie for my Christmas gifting of memorabilia!

I don't have a dog in the race, although I do own 2 awesome game used, personalized Blue Jays Lopez jerseys! As much as I would like to see Seattle win their 1st pennant, I believe the Jays present a bigger challenge to the Dodgers! Toronto will also have the homefield advantage versus L.A.! #GoJays

Our team needs a helluva a lot more than Dkubal to win a WS next year. That being said, we definitely need to revamp the majority of our pitching staff. I am all for trading some of our prospects before they become suspects, but it has to be for someone with more years of control (i.e. Skenes)

Congratulations, Daniel! 🎊
I commend you on your accomplishments. I am happy that you are doing great! I have made some strides to try to change my ways, but not enough of them. I have stopped eating fried foods & have cut back on other things. It is an ongoing challenge. Thanks for the inspiration

Love you, too!
It is just so difficult to give up the junk that I have eaten my entire life, but I am trying.
Unfortunately, practically everything we consume is not good for us. I am a meat & potatoes guy, not a fruit & vegetables one! Pizza & pasta are my kryptonite!
JUST SAY NO!
NO CAN DO! LOL

Let the speculation, rumors, & scuttlebutt begin. Suffice it to say that we need to revamp just about our entire pitching staff! The 1st order of business is to re-sign Sugar Diaz! I would like to add an ace & would make the trade below in a heartbeat. We also need to move others for more pitching!

Willie Lopez @willielopezshow.bsky.social · 22h

It is easier said than done, but I am trying!

Standard procedure to keep the revenue flowing. 🤔
I had my Echocardiogram with contrast last week to measure my "injection fraction" since I had my 5th stent put in 3 months ago. My cardiologist once again recommended that I have an internal defibrillator put in my chest, which I am reluctant to do!

I go back to the days of Joe Willie Namath & would follow every NY team except the YankDeez. This is coming from a Bronxite! I am just glad that I don't live in NY, so I don't have to be tortured by watching the disaster that is NY football! I would watch every game religiously, but not any longer!

R.I.P. Jesus Montero 🙏✝️💔
My condolences as well as thoughts & prayers to the family & friends of Jesus on his passing! He is gone far too soon at the age of 35. He was involved in a motorcycle accident in his native Venezuela 🇻🇪 & had been in critical condition since Oct. 4th. May God bless his soul.

Willie Lopez @willielopezshow.bsky.social · 1d

I can vouch for that!
No truer words have been spoken!

Willie Lopez @willielopezshow.bsky.social · 2d

I have thousands of signed & unsigned baseballs, jerseys, bats, hats, etc.! DM me if I can assist you with any of your needs!

ATTN: ALL BASEBALL FANS & MY METS FAN FRIENDS!
With no baseball on the docket today, I want to remind everyone that the holidays are fast approaching. In addition, the 2026 WBC tourney will be here soon. If you are looking for any memorabilia for yourself or a friend, LMK!
I have thousands of items!

Love him or hate him, the God-given talent that Shohei Ohtani has is undeniable!
His historic performance last night may never be replicated again unless he is the author of it. 6 shutout innings, 10 K's & 3 home runs is other worldly! What baseball fans witnessed yesterday was something special! ⚾️

Willie Lopez @willielopezshow.bsky.social · 3d

OH! TANI!!!!!

Willie Lopez @willielopezshow.bsky.social · 3d

Jose Quintana goes 2 innings & allows 3 runs in the 1st & gets pulled in the 3rd after allowing back-to-back singles to start the inning!
Can you say SWEEP! 🧹🧹🧹🧹

EUGENIO SUAREZ GRAND SALAMI! 6-2 MARINERS!

*8th inning!

Willie Lopez @willielopezshow.bsky.social · 3d

As the saying goes ......
"If you don't learn from your mistakes, you are bound to repeat them!"
Brenden Little has not been very good in the outings that I have seen. He starts the 7th inning with the Jays leading 2-1! Leadoff home run by the "Big Dumper" ties the game followed by 2 walks!

In typical Mets fashion, the game is tied as the bullpen gives up the ass! SMH 🤣

Willie Lopez @willielopezshow.bsky.social · 3d

Carlos Mendoza, I mean Dan Wilson just lifted his starter after 56 pitches in the top of the 5th inning! After allowing a leadoff hit, his 4th allowed, despite pitching 4 shutout innings, the starter is gone! Crazy decision if you ask me!
Bryce Miller has been their best starter!

Willie Lopez @willielopezshow.bsky.social · 3d

UNREAL!
