People that make a company, any company the majority of their personality…don’t. No wrestling company, movie studio, publisher, international conglomerate et al are “moral” or “good”. Nor are they paying attention to “internet discourse” and won’t give you a pat on the back for posting 100x a day.
it’s not moral, but I’ve made peace with the fact that the people that own and run the pro sports teams that I support probably suck in ways that I can’t fathom. I personally despise the “everything is gambling as an app!” Being omnipresent. I can’t be surprised when they intersect with sports.
I can’t handle seeing these “updates” on the Mets trading Lindor as part of the firesale… The season is lost and losing the guy that WANTS to be a Met, when I have nothing else to distract me but Jets minicamp, will be my supervillain origin story… #MetsSky

The best part of being a Mets & Jets fan is that I’m never going to have to worry about them deciding to visit the White House after winning a championship. So there’s that.
I think at this point it will be the 2027 Knicks season before my shirt ships…Fanatics’ business model in action.
A day early for my Bday…but I’ll take a Mets series win for a gift…
Roger Cormier@themetsnewsletter.com · 2w agoMets 6, Phillies 1. Nolan McLean threw six shutout innings. Francisco Lindor was a triple shy of the cycle. Mets left 15 runners on base but it didn't matter. Here I am putting it in the books.
90% of the time being a Mets fan becomes looking forward to the team sending away half the roster so that instead of focusing on the failed season after July, we can start convincing ourselves a 16 year old relief pitcher will be the piece that gets us back to the World Series…next year. #MetsSky

Zombie Altimas will still be rolling off the production lines without any human explanation…can’t kill that which will not die.

Justifying being Trumpist as a Trans person because “he’s not coming for me specifically…it’s the communists and brown people I hate.” Really is something. Leopards, faces, something, something.

This might be the most annoying Mets team I can remember in my almost 50 years of watching. That said, the only thing that could actually piss me off would be if Stearns trades Lindor. Keep him, Soto and the babies…everyone else can go.
I would pay an amount of money for this that would come up in my divorce hearings.
Roger Cormier@themetsnewsletter.com · 4w agoI'm guessing this is either worth $10 million or $1. Nothing in between.
If you think the guest list for a wedding is now a moral statement on the bride and groom…you’ve never planned a wedding. There were easily 20 people I didn’t know at my own wedding of like 100 guests…
I’m filing a petition that from today on the @mets.com ONLY wear the blue alternate jerseys…feel like that’s the only way they win in this season…#LFGM #MetsSky
New York Mets@mets.com · last mo.
If anyone in #MetsSky is going to this game and can get me one of these I’d be stoked! I’ve been advised that flying to NY to go to a Mets game to get a Tshirt isn’t in the budget… Obviously i’ll pay. lol #LFGM

There was only so much Mendy could achieve with this roster/injuries…that said, the lack of focus, bullpen mismanagement and no urgency displayed, those are on him. I also think Stearns is cooked. Unless he gets back some serious talent during the sell-off to sell hope for the future to us. #LFGM
Me sitting next to HAIM & Ms. Swift court side during the 3rd quarter last night.
I’ve been rewatching the DCAU JL & this gag had me cackling. Justice Lords Superman has lobotomized villains in Arkham. But only Scarface has the lobotomy mark, not Wesker. Which means that alternate universe Supes believed that the doll was the actual villain… And yes, I’m enjoying an edible, why?
Happy Pride Month y’all, the Force is with all of you. I firmly believe Star Wars is for everyone, and have no time for anyone who feels otherwise.
I’m not saying anything would have turned out different. BUT a healthy Lindor vibing with the Baby Mets would bring a different attitude to this team. Soto has said repeatedly that he’s a leader by example, not a rah-rah guy. So you need a guy to bring energy and smiles…Lindor is that Met. #MetsSky
Here’s the thing. I don’t really care if Mando & Grogu is “good” or “bad” as a movie. It’s a TV show, this was supposed to be a season of TV. But Disney has to constantly be reactionary, so when Book of Boba “underperformed” that was the end of Mando as TV…so now it’s a movie. I’ll still watch it.
Being a Mets fan this season obviously sucks, but as we hurtle towards dark humor territory with the injuries…I know that come spring I’ll have written off this whole season to players getting hurt, and expect success next year. No object permanence is at the heart of Mets fandom. #MetsSky
