You’re offered so much, but you’re frightened to take it.
Music (punk, garage, new wave, jazz, indie, post-punk, glam, classical, whatever), Mets/Jets/Rangers, cats, beer, higher ed, travel, art, etc. Pro democracy, pro justice. Jersey since birth.

All I know is that the other starting pitchers on the free agent market must be very happy tonight.

He was extremely mediocre at age 29. I wasn’t pining for the Mets to sign him, so 🤷🏻♂️

I don’t think so, but if Cease told them that’s what he wanted I’m sure they wished him the best in his future endeavors. His career has been a mixture of very good seasons, very eh seasons. Blue Jays will inevitably get some of the latter at $30M/year.

If Dylan Cease is worth $30M a year, Tarik Skubal is going to get a deal next winter the size of Harvard’s endowment.

Wow is right. Guy went 8-12 with an ERA of 4.55 and he gets a deal like this? Mets are getting a bargain with Peterson and Holmes, who both had better seasons.

Fortunately the forecast doesn’t call for rain, so no one will mistakenly grab an umbrella that doesn’t belong to them.

The Padres would ask for every prospect we’re looking forward to, including the 3 pitchers who already got called up. Plus the fact that Cohen could afford a $500M payroll doesn’t mean he’d want one.

Hey, I’ve been farther off than that on lots of things, so 😉
In college he was also a real good pitcher, maybe if he was born 40 years later he’d be a 2 way prospect.

Never played in the minors, and the best pure hitter to ever wear a Mets uniform. And while nobody played 1B like Keith, Olerud was probably the 2nd best glove at 1st the Mets ever had. There are players not as good as him in Cooperstown.

I deliberately didn’t post that song because it’s such an obvious choice, wanted to dig slightly deeper. Was between this and You Got My Number.

The holiday GBBO episode always has celebrity contestants, and I saw an ad with him in it. Olivia Coleman too.

Valid points, plus Jeffries was very young and always gave me the impression that he was raised in a bubble and never had to deal with any kinds of challenges or adversity. The veterans seemed to think he was a child in an adult world.

Early part of his career coincided with the baseball cards as investments boom. A lot of people thought hoarding Gregg Jeffries rookie cards would pay for their kids’ college tuition. Spoiler alert; it didn’t.
The prototype of a player who couldn’t handle NYC.

My wife will probably make the stuffing (the ingredients you mention plus sausage) tomorrow, and it’s just the 2 of us, but we’ll have food for days…plus a big batch of turkey stock we’ll make in the Instant Pot with the carcass.

Doug Flynn was the perfect example of the “good glove, no hit” infielder that was very common in the 60’s into the 70’s, but by the 80’s was starting to go away.
