Clay Holmes eventually won me over as a starting pitcher who could be counted on in important games. Tyrone Taylor started the #Mets epic comeback rally in the famous 2024 Game 161 win in Atlanta. Good luck to both of them with the Cubbies.

Paying to send away one of the few bright spots of this wretched year really stings. Sad times. #LGM ^A

Now here's a move I actually like...kinda. I've read very good things about Jefferson Rojas. We'll see in time if Boy Blunder proves us #Mets fans wrong on this trade.

Like so much Boy Blunder does, I 💯 disagree with this move. #Mets

100

This is one potential #Mets move I absolutely disagree with. If we have any intention of being competitive next year, he's a guy we need to keep. Can't see the Bucs overwhelming us with a return we can't refuse.

Gotta love Boy Blunder's Dumpster-diving fetish. Chayce McDermott, who #Mets just got from the Dodgers for Ben Rortvedt? He was recently DFA'd. Last year for Baltimore? A 15.58 ERA in 8 games, with 12 BB and 15 ER in 8.2 IP. How would he help at ANY level? Why not just take 💰 for Rortvedt?

140

At last! #Mets make trade deadline blockbuster deal, guaranteed to reshape the future!!!🥱 (Who here remembered we even still had this guy in our system?)

210

Prices so low, #Mets are practically giving them all away! (Folks of a certain age will get that cultural reference 😁) Thanks to Brooks Raley and good luck with...the Phillies?!😳

It had to happen. #Mets trading one of the season's few bright spots. It's a necessary evil brought about by horrendous roster mismanagement. Big thanks to Huascar Brazobán for his efforts as in orange and blue and best of luck to him with the #WhiteSox.

#Mets trade idea: Luis Robert Jr, Kodai Senga, and Jorge Polanco to the Padres for a half-eaten Popeyes biscuit, a honey packet, a "Three Amigos" pre-watched DVD, and a moldy loaf of bread?🤔

How painfully ironic for #Mets today: The pitcher we should've moved heaven and Earth all along to get, Sandy Alcantara, shuts us out in his outing, while we just traded away Freddy Peralta, the guy we acquired last winter who failed to do what Alcantara has done so well this year.🤦🏿

130

So I had brunch with my pilot friend, but as it turned out, he was too busy to fly to Queens to pick up Four-and-Two-Thirds Freddy and fly him to Tampa to -- thankfully -- join his new team. I don't enjoy laughing at players on my own team, but Jorge Polanco...Dude. He's seriously batting .132 now?!

030

What kind of Mickey Mouse front office does this to its Minor Leaguers, jerking them up and down as if they're yo-yos, and plans so poorly for maintaining a Major League pitching staff? As of late July, #Mets have used 30+ different pitchers, closing in on the MLB record 46 #Mets used in '25.

Gil Griffin @gilgriffin.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

This is really weird. The #WhiteSox wanted a starting pitcher, so they trade for one — Luis Castillo — who’s actually having a WORSE year (imagine that) than mercifully-soon-to-be-ex #Mets pitcher Freddy Peralta?🤦🏿

230

For 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.

#Mets aren't being slick by delaying the inevitable fire sale. This. Right. Here.👇🏿

061

Gil Griffin @gilgriffin.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

Can #Mets just please get on with the fire sale? All this stupid gamesmanship among and self-gratifying measuring contests between egocentric baseball executives is really irritating. Plus, do you REALLY trust Boy Blunder to get it right, after last year's deadline's and last winter's debacles?

I'd like to take this opportunity to publicly apologize to fellow #Mets fan @djmisterzero.bsky.social, who I fiercely argued to, shortly after Freddy Peralta's acquisition, that he was an ace. You were 💯 right in saying he wasn't and I was absolutely wrong.

#Mets trade deadline update: Not so nice to know you. Bye-bye, Four-and-Two-Thirds Freddy.👋🏿

So... #Mets acquiring legend Benny Agbayani's son (damn, I'm old!) Bruin as one of the prospects from the Twins for AJ Minter.

#Mets fire sale officially underway...

Dwight Schrute Clapping: Nice Job!

What a pair of killer off-season #Mets acquisitions: Robert Jr hitting .196 and Jorge Polanco hitting .141. Boy Blunder put on a masterclass in evaluating talent, assessing injury history, and doing due diligence.

So #Mets fans, unless some (crazy) team out there is prepared to overwhelm us with a trade package for (stifle your laughter) Freddy Peralta, we're stuck with him for -- as Phil Collins once sang -- one more night, tomorrow's outing.

Gil Griffin @gilgriffin.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

Would someone please explain to me why the #Mets insist on wearing the road blue jerseys at home? How silly is it to be at home and wear a jersey with the geographical name on it? Sorry, fellow Knicks fans, but people in the crowd might not know where their own team is from?

020

WTF are #Mets doing, partnering with a "predictive service"? Boy Blunder aka David Stearns hasn't already put our club in enough disrepair? 🙄 Baseball is NOT Philip K. Dick's sci-fi novel, "The Minority Report." Can we PLEASE dump analytics? Baseball is played on GRASS, not paper!🤦🏿

@marksimon.bsky.social LOVED your latest newsletter! What IF the #Mets really had traded Joel Youngblood in '81 for Billy Buck?

So now Tyrone Taylor pushing hard to escape #Mets sinking ship as he bails out Four-Inning Freddy.🙄

Gil Griffin @gilgriffin.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

So I checked the #Mets boxscore and saw Four-and-Two-Thirds (wasn't even THAT long today) Freddy had another pedestrian performance in his job interview with contending clubs -- nearly 100 pitches, more hits than IP. He'll rack up his 10th loss today. Can't WAIT for another team to take him away.

Gil Griffin @gilgriffin.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

#Mets fans, I thought I'd never reach the level of utter contempt I developed for former GM Brodie van Wagenen, until Boy Blunder aka David Stearns completely ruined this team by making staggeringly asinine roster decisions that have seen us go 34 games under .500 (81-115) since June 13, 2025.

Gil Griffin @gilgriffin.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

Admit it, #Mets fans: Without Juan Soto in the lineup, there's basically no reason to watch this team the rest of the year. This season has been an absolute shitshow. And it's all thanks to the doofus below, who wasted tens of millions of dollars to assemble a team that'll lose close to 100 games.
