Tacks was referring to when the Yanks faced the Mets in the WS. That was back in 2000. On that Yankees team, the following notable players were named on the Mitchell Report: Denny Neagle Chuck Knoblauch Andy Pettite Roger Clemens Mike Stanton David Justice Jose Conseco Clemens, Stanton, and Pettite combines to pitch 26 innings and only gave up 3 earned runs. Mets beat up on El Duque, Jeff Nelson, and even the great Mariano Rivera. The Mets only had Todd Pratt on the Mitchell Report. The backup catcher. Who saw 2 at bats during that series.

You mean the Yankee team where 95% of the players were named in the Mitchell report?

Not unless Edwin Diaz fixes what's ever going on between his ears.

Don’t look now but Mets only 3 games back from Wild Card. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pretty good if you're into stouts. You really do get a hint of chocolate fudge.

Nada.

There's too many teams they need to overtake but 4 games out isn't a lot. At the very least, they'll make for exciting baseball in September. If they get in, that starting 5 gives them a chance in any series.

They'll give him the worst threat a pending free agent can have nowadays. The highly feared "qualifying offer". Look what it did to Dallas Kuechel and Craig Kimbel. Might scare him to return at a lower cost. Otherwise, Mets will at least get a draft pick out of it.

I believe he's either married now if not, at least engaged. So if he's still a virgin, he soon won't be.

Real grab was Franmil Reyes. Guy can hit. Can't run or field for the life of him but he'll have one of the strongest arms as any DH in the American League.

Astros paid through the roof for Grienke. They're going for it I'll give them credit for that. But Mets got Stroman for a guy who is destined to be a 4 or 5th start and a Single A guy who is projected to be a reliever. Yanks couldn't put up a better offer than that? Weird trade deadline. Biggest moves outside of Grienke were made by teams unexpected to make those kind of moves. Red with Bauer and Mets with Stroman. Everyone blasted the Mets for grabbing Stroman when they should be sellers. Now they're 4.5 games out of the wild card with 33 of their remaining games at home against sub 500 teams and/or division rivals. Crazy but they have a chance to at least go out fighting. deGrom, Thor, Wheeler, Matz, and Stroman can be as good as any rotation out there.

You still have time. https://www.foodandwine.com/news/white-castle-uber-eats-harold-kumar-free-sliders

Happy birthday!

Happy belated birthday!

It's really for Frammel Reyes. He's 24 years old and built like an NFL tight end. Bauer had one good year. Rest of his career including this year he's been average.

Bad ass!

Pitbulls are dangerous, I don't disagree. But it's odd that Rottweilers, German Sheppard's, Serbian Sheepdogs, Doberman Pinchers, or Bull Mastiffs don't get the same amount of attention. Their bites don't do damage? I mean the Rhodesian Ridgebacks was breed to hunt African Lions but no one seems to be all that afraid of them. Maybe because they're expensive and anyone who is willing to pay for one is more likely to be a little more responsible instead of some hoodlum walking them with chains and padlocks on their necks?

About a month ago, as I was getting off a bus, I got bit on my hip by a dog. I walked pass this lady who was standing there with I'm guessing her daughter with the dog on a leash. Looked like a border collie mix of some sort. The dog hit my right when I walked passed them. hit my from a 4 o clock angle. The dog miss timed it's bit and couldn't get a latch on my hip. I turned around and saw that the dog was wagging it's tail and I looked at my slacks and there was no rip. The mom and daughter looked stunned, yelled at the dog, and then was approaching me to apologize. I told them no harm no foul and turned to walk away because I was in a rush to get home. Had to relieve the wife of kid duties because she had to be some where. Then I hear a old lady scream in pain. I turned back around to see an old lady leaning on a bench, her hands cupped around her hip (same spot as mine) and the dog again, wagging it's tail in excitement. That lady was not as kind as I was. She was yelling at the lady, saying "you don't know how dangerous your dog is" and was calling the cops. I never found out the results of incidence. When I got home, I had a nice big red mark on my hip.

"By themselves" not in a literal sense. "By themselves" meaning their genetic makeup alone with no other factors in play.

Bullpens also plays a role. Last year, so many times did deGrom leave the game after the 7th inning with a 1-0 lead only to have the Mets bullpen blow it in the 9th.

Happy belated birthday!

Sorry, saw he had 2 so I assumed it was last night. He pitched his 2nd complete game shut out on the 24th.

My last dog passed away from health problems as well at 8 years old. Pure breed. Right now, with 2 young kids, it's hard to get another dog but eventually I will and will look into a mutt. I thought of adoption but man, you simply don't know the dogs history. I watched a comedian once joke about it. He said the dog can be the nicest dog ever. You could one day innocently go to turn on your radiator because its cold and coincidentally the dog's previous owner could have chained to a radiator and beat him. The dog at that moment could decide "Oh no, not again. Not no more. It ends TODAY!" The crowd laughed at the joke but as I thought about it, it is so true. As the case her with your nieces dog who was locked in a basement. Next dog for me will be a mutt and has to be a new born so that I can control it's history.

My MiL had a pit. Sweetest dog you'll come across. We said she was the worst guard dog because all you have to do was give her a good belly rub and you're free to take everything. Call me racist or whatevers but pits get their reputation because many of the type of people who love having pits are also they types that makes the worst owners. You look at the shelters and tell me how many pit bulls are available for adoption compared to any other breed. I assure you pits out number all other breeds 3 to 1. Why is that? Irresponsible owners plain and simple. Pits by themselves, when raised correctly are not more aggressive than any other breed. Heck, there are several breeds that are even more aggressive than pits.
