One day people will realize that we were simply never designed to take in this much of everything all the time. It’s broken everyone’s mind in a way that creates stress with compound interest every day. This was the original meaning behind “Touch some grass”

Ya know what? I’m ok with it. If we had made the move earlier, we might have been in the wild card hunt. Time to start talking myself into getting to the playoffs next season. #MetsSky

Leading the way. We have named Andy Green manager, agreeing to a three-year contract.

At least there are only a few weeks a year where I watch both the Mets and Jets fail at the same time. I prefer my misery single serve. #MetsSky #NYJ

I will both be glad when this Mets’ season is over, and will miss daily Mets’ baseball until next season. Such is the life of a Metropolitans fan. #MetsSky

With all the “triangulation” and capitulation to anti-trans ideas amongst some folks running for office that would otherwise be met with enthusiasm from me, I’m glad I don’t have to make that decision. I’m in FL and get to vote for @angieforfl.bsky.social

I missed this entire game because I took the fam to see the @rifftrax.com MST3K revival in the theatre. Both the Mets win and “Sting of Death” were so bizarrely enjoyable I can’t wait to watch them again!

My personal politics and my electoral politics aren’t the same thing. When it comes to elections, it’s a family reunion, you get along once a year to make a successful party, and you don’t invite Uncle Touchy or Cousin Joe the neo nazi.

As someone in recovery, who runs meetings weekly I can’t recommend this enough. Especially if you are a creative. Rediscovering a love of writing in sobriety took time, as all healing does. And as a guy that LOVED Deadspin, it’s heartening to know some of us grew out of that nihilistic mindset. ❤️

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.

I’m all for quantity of prospects as a return this particular season. With 2027 more likely than not being locked out. Why not focus on overstocking the minors system? All these guys “under control” will be another year older. Give the next GM/POBO a full toybox for the 2028 season. #LFGM #MetsSky

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.

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

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 don’t think it’s coincidence that there are multiple other Mets fans in my recovery group meetings. It’s just proof that this team leads you to drinking at levels that require intervention…lol #LFGM #MetsSky

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

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?
Screenshot from the Justice League cartoon where Batman villain and ventriloquist dummy “Scarface” has lobotomy scars but “The Ventriloquist” does not.

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

Between the years of 1994 and 2000 anyone that didn’t pass their driving test until at least the 3rd try were given a Ford Taurus with 100K miles and a missing hubcap. In 1997 there were more Taurus’ on the road than had been built by Ford. No one can explain this.

Because it is May 4th, AKA Star Wars day, here is my personal ranking of the theatrically released movies. I specify “theatrically” because if “Caravan of Courage” and “Battle of Endor” were an option, they’d hold every spot 1: The Empire Strikes Back 2: Rogue One 3: The Last Jedi 4: A New Hope

Not even mad. At this point throw whatever against the wall and see if it sparks something. Worked when Lindor was moved to lead off…maybe the MetsHausen streak starts today…

It’s been a weird day to be a Mets fan. That said, I’ll be the first person on the MetsHausen bandwagon if we win against Shoei tonite.
