Many of you are too young to know who this is, but as I sit here in the twilight of my life (over 35), I'm remembering Pascual Perez' on the mound antics while watching Jefry Yan. #mets
Rhys Hoskins is a .177 hitting first baseman who just lost his job. Also, a major league asshole. #LetJefryJump #Mets
My eye doctor is a hugger. Today was the second time. I have friends I have known 20 years who I have not hugged twice. I am not a hugger.

Can Luke Weaver chopper from Pittsburgh to Cleveland in time to bail the #Mets out of this inning?
Please respect my Metsochism and only describe PCA as "NL MVP candidate and former #Mets farmhand Pete Crow Armstrong."
Emily Wilson gets one more piece on The Odyssey and then she needs to move on and let us know what she thinks about Mallrats
Gary Cohen and the most well-timed sideline report in recent memory saved us all from being forced to remember the FOX News side of Keith Hernandez #Mets
Feel like Liberty Mutual is really overestimating our collective appetite for insurance lore?
I just did an improvised monologue in a William Wallace impression trying to inspire my wife to "claim justice" for the screwed up DoorDash order she got or risk "shaming the spirits of her ancestors as they look on from the moors" I gotta find a job.

The deadline has come and gone. None of us #Mets fans got traded to better teams.
Stearns just said the "excitement" of having Luis Robert still on the #Mets Is this man okay?
Good for the Padres, Twins, Guardians, Pirates -- you TRIED! Get bent, Orioles, Tigers, Marlins, A's (evergreen)
What you want to do is put a glitchy AI system in between your sick and elderly and the people who fill their prescriptions. That's your golden society, right there.
The Dodgers are not baseball's biggest problem. The Tigers and Orioles are -- two teams within 3 games of the playoffs, blowing up their seasons to collect lotto tix. Baseball's greatest stories have come as a result of improbable runs. You can't have those if you're a slave to probabilities.
Based on the weak returns Boy Genius is getting I hope Weaver stays put. Also prefer to keep Holmes and go for a comp pick instead of the filler they've been getting. #Mets
Genuinely curious to see how low Jorge Polanco's batting average will go. #Mets
More forgetable #Mets tenure, Freddy Peralta or Justin Verlander?
Since we're burning money and exercising the bad deals of the past, how about the #Mets release Jorge Polanco? As a little treat for the fans.
MLB having a throwback weekend every year would be sweet. Some iconic fits.
Gil Griffin@gilgriffin.bsky.social · 4d agoFor those of you too young to remember them, the #Mets '86 home "racing stripes" unis the players are wearing today were first introduced in '83 and patterned after those of the division rival Phillies and Expos (now the Nationals). I'm probably biased, but I thought they were MLB's nicest.
