BRONX, NY – Throwing this up here at 9-something PM Sunday evening. I just cannot abide a “did not show.” It was Short Matt’s birthday yesterday, so he can consider this his gift. What he really needs is a new car, but he doesn’t pay me anything, so I don’t have that kinda cash laying around. Anyway… here’s nothing.
The Mets have no offense, but they still may have good enough pitching to win the NL East. I mean, their starting pitching is, even with the injury hiccups, better than almost everyone. That said, they need someone, anyone, who can consistently put the damn bat on the ball. There will be trades to be made.
Every time I start getting pissed about the Mets, the Yankees come along and cheer me up… at least this year. If Gerrit Cole is really nowhere near as good without sticky stuff, then the Yankees starting rotation is garbage right now. If Cole doesn’t find his former form, then the Bombers are saddled with his and Stanton’s contracts for a very, very long time. Tough Darts.
Okay, I’m done. Come back tomorrow, for someone? Hopefully?
