Mets, Jets, Rangers, video games, beer and probably too much politics. Trying to find people on here

The Red Sox had a 20.1% chance to make the playoffs 30 days ago. Today it’s 91.6%. Guessing that’s the largest upward swing in playoff odds for one team in a month’s span (excluding September).

Said it from the beginning, Stevens is just an awful candidate. People will point to AIPAC money dominating the primary but she’s simply very unappealing, negative charisma. Even from an establishment perspective, you wonder why Schumer/Gillibrand courted her.

Dems ended up coming away with a decent Senate nominee batch after all. El-Sayed isn’t a generationally great candidate or anything but he’s much better than Haley Stevens. Only weaklink really is Maine and that’s moreso due to the circumstances that led to an emergency primary.

When Clay Holmes signed with the Mets, a Yankee confidant told me “hey, he is going to get so much hate that he doesn’t deserve. It’s your job to defend him”. Proud to have upheld that oath for the last year and a half. Rest now brother, and I’ll see you in Valhalla.

We’ve talked a lot about a certain new Tigers pitching prospect, but what I’m surprised never really got mentioned is that Brandon Sproat turns 26 next month.

I think the Mets made out okay, not terrible or great, with what they had. Only return I didn’t like was Raley, and you could question pulling the trigger on Weaver for just Stafura, but all in all fine.

I get the vibe Stafura is just an... expected return. Not great. Not horrible. Market value. Nothing wrong with that but not exceptional either. Cool that he grew up a Mets fan, though.
