Maybe we sign Mookie or Endy, and Billy Wagner to 10-day contracts and see what’s up?

Well…that’s a hell of a way to start this game after this afternoon!
Bad start but good ending for Peterson. Shows the mental toughness that permeates Buck's team.
Sign Nimmo to a long term contract now! The kid just keeps getting better and better. Very smart and talented ballplayer.
Scherzer tomorrow! Let's sweep!!
Bill, I hope you had a good time today. It looked like a great day! I hope that you took your wife! Say "HI!" to her for me. Let me know when you come down again so we can get together. I'll drive off island to the mainland. I know a few great places in downtown Sarasota.

I think sjc88 was there tonight ? Bill ?
we are going to the game thursday with them. looking forward to it !!!!!
Holy smokes what an Amazing job they did with the Old Timers event. A little bit from ALL the different eras. Very touching that they included Seaver’s family and Buddy Harrelson’s family. I was actually choked up seeing John Stearns. Well let’s just say he’s not healthy but he seemed to really enjoy the event. I don’t think he wanted to leave. The Willie Mays announcement retiring his number was long past due.
Citifield was packed…for hours. I was there from 3:30 until the end of the game. Getting out of the parking lot took forever. MJ Thursday may be a dreaded LIRR day. I did get to explore Flushing Meadow Park at night before getting to the LIE. I grew up a few miles from there but they forced you in directions that didn’t get you home! I got home after Midnight!
Greg, would love to. She was there at the game. I suspect we might be down in October. Hopefully we get some October baseball to worry about. We can make our own Mets bar down there. More of a College football crowd though. My neighbor down there is a Jersey transplant who also loves the Mets. He had me over his house for the 4th of July and he had a huge TV with the Mets game on.

Mets deliver perfect Willie Mays tribute with surprise number retirement at Old-Timers’ Day
The Mets did more than retire a famous baseball number Saturday afternoon, stunning a nostalgia-nourished crowd at Citi Field when it was revealed that Willie Mays’ 24 would formally be retired.

My favorite celebrity gaffe in recent memory. Arod and Jennifer Lopez pushing the fake (wrong) narrative and then parroted by ESPN that JLo would enhance the potential purchase of the Mets because she would be the 1st “female“ owner of a MLB team. Apparently ignoring the FACT that Joan Payson was the very original majority owner of the team they were looking to purchase. Joan Payson is the very reason the NY Mets exist today. Bill Shea was the visionary but Joan Payson was the heart and the money. Sometimes you can’t make this stuff up. Ignorance is bliss. We dodged that bullet. Thanks to Steve Cohen.
Thanks, Bill! I'm looking forward to seeing you and your bride again.
By the way, I don’t know if anyone either at the game or on TV noticed the police helicopter circling the Stadium in the top of the first inning? Not only was it distracting but in my opinion was dangerous considering the size of the crowd. Seemed unnecessary and intrusive. Someone should look into it. It was LOW and clearly trying to glimpse the game. Very strange.
Jake wants RUN support (and a Max contract)
He is great. I sent him an emailing thanking him for the column and received a great reply.Mike Vacc is perhaps best sports writer in modern era;
