I definitely agree about Wright being the last of his type.
You're probably right. If players really want to stay, they work something out - even if it means a little less $ or fewer years. I don't think that happens very much in today's game. I'm sure we'll never see another David Wright type. Sigh.

My feeling is if he'd wanted to stay, they would have worked out a deal. I can't have favorites, anymore. #MetsSky #Mets

This makes me unhappy. I need time to process it. #MetsSky #Mets
Edwin Diaz going to the Dodgers has the Mets feeling pretty shocked right now. He had indicated to some he wanted to return to the Mets, but according to a source, he chose the Dodgers' offer instead.

The Mets offered three years at $66 million and were willing to improve it.

Scary on so many levels.
America, don’t normalize this.

Cancel these outrageous contracts with Palantir. Do not fund Thiel’s extreme ideological surveillance machine dead set on war profiteering using our tax dollars. www.cnbc.com/2025/08/01/p...

This is why I can't have favorite players, anymore. #mets #MetsSky

Horrifying.
I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

I need to check the games I play.
As a former gamer, I cannot overstate how big of a deal this right-wing takeover of Electronic Arts is.

Are they going to create video games where they kidnap and dismember journalists like Jamal Khashoggi?

Still trying to process the end of the #Mets season. Might take a while. I feel kinda numb. #MetsSky

Got my Kickstarter rewards for backing a #NancyDrew documentary. Awesome. Can't wait to see the documentary.

I love this light-up Mrs Met Bobblehead with taxi. It's bigger than I expected.

Watching #Mets pre-game show on PIX11 and the #ICE recruitment commercials have already gotten on my nerves. #fearmongering

This is awesome.
This just popped up on my tiktok, and I needed to share.

A company called OneCourt.io makes these haptic feedback devices so that visually impaired people can follow games in real time. They've previously worked with the Trailblazers, and the Dbacks are the first MLB team to partner.

Tremendous.
