The Molly’s Dad/Hofstra/CAA hoops/Mets/baseball/Islanders/Simpsons/Scrubs/Sunny/hair metal guy. Now with a new header! Still can’t be king of the world if you’re slave to the grind.
Carlos Beltran on trying not to think too much about his HOF chance the last few weeks: "Let me tell you, my wife Jessica, she spent hours and time trying to basically stay in contact with the Hall of Fame baseball tracker." CC: @notmrtibbs.com @tonycal.bsky.social @shutthedore.bsky.social
What a day for Yankees legends Carlos Beltran and Andruw Jones @frustratedfan.bsky.social!!!!
Minutes away from the HOF results so here's the stat I discovered during research that cemented my Carlos Beltran vote: Andruw Jones (1933 hits/7599 ABs) had 792 fewer hits & 2169 fewer ABs than Beltran (2725 hits/9768 ABs). Beltran was the equivalent of a .365 hitter over the ABs Jones didn’t get.
I am grateful beyond words to share my first Baseball HOF ballot, which is the realization of a goal 38 years in the making. I imagine most don't care about my back story, so I'll post the ballot here for @notmrtibbs.com, his awesome crew & the rest of you...and then thread some of my back story!
*dusts this off to say hi to @frustratedfan.bsky.social after Cairo Santos L. Halper redeems himself and saves the day for the Bears*
@kschwenky.bsky.social: Did I just see your nephew and his family on George to the Rescue?!
At Yankee Stadium for what amounts to the Why Can’t The Mets Get Guys Like These World Series against the Cubs. Gimme some Cubs avatars, alive & on an ‘80s OR ‘90s card @frustratedfan.bsky.social & co., go go go!
Nice visitors-home score at Wrigley today @frustratedfan.bsky.social.
White Sox in town. The only good thing about interleague is the never-ending supply of avatars from AL teams. So gimme those White Sox avatars, alive & on an '80s OR '90s card, go go go! (I know @frustratedfan.bsky.social must have some #Chicago #Legends in mind)
Jared Young, no longer a #Cubs #Legend only option on Immaculate Grid, gets plunked in his first Mets AB @frustratedfan.bsky.social.
Dodgers still in town. Still seem to be a pretty good team with a pretty good following. Avatars, alive & on an '80s OR '90s card, go go go!
Made it back out to Yankee Stadium so gimme your Mets avatars and we'll do some in-game cards. Alive & on an '80s OR '90s card, go go go!
Edwin Diaz on in a 3-2 game in the ninth at Yankee Stadium? Time to borrow from @frustratedfan.bsky.social!
Tylor Megill's final line is a quirky one: 2 2/3 IP-4 H-4 R-4 ER-5 BB-4 Ks. Per @stathead.com, he's the first pitcher with such a line since at least 1901!
Traffic here was brutal so make it worth my while. Mets--METS!!!--avatars, alive & on an '80s OR 90s card, go go go!
Gelbs shouts out @mikepriceinla.bsky.social while talking about his Simpsons cameo! And then Ron says he watched The Simpsons on Tracey Ullman. Greatest booth ever.
Ohh shit. Look at that scoreboard dude. See that scoreboard right there? The one marked private? You think a private lives in there? Pirates (or Privates) avatars, alive & on an ‘80s or ‘90s card, go go go!
Pete Alonso with a tie-breaking RBI single off why can't the Mets get guys like Colin Holderman, who was out there in a tie game which meant Colin couldn't get a holder, man. CC: @frustratedfan.bsky.social
Well there goes any chance Cade Horton had of pulling a modified Ernie Shore @vculitos.bsky.social @frustratedfan.bsky.social. Leadoff single by Pete Alonso in the fourth breaks up the combined no-no bid.
