@DaleJr Your dad is responsible for one of the great moments I’ve shared with MY dad. I touched his car for good luck before the race at Talladega in ‘99. He told us to come to victory lane if he won. He did. So we did. Every kid’s hero should be as gracious to them as your dad was to me

Understatement of the century but this has been a great couple days for Pete Alonso. He’s obviously excelled on the field. But he also wasn’t afraid to be his honest, genuine self on this type of national stage as a rookie. He deserves to be one of the biggest stars in this game.

I would have done what Syndergaard did. Not even a question. But I disagree with the idea that the Mets somehow messed up by not making him feel more loved in a 10-day span. They gave him exactly what he said he wanted.

Mets fans - I know today has been a colossal bummer but Terry Collins is on BNNY tonight and we’re doing a segment called “In the Jackpot” with him where we pepper him with random questions on live TV so you have that to look forward to...which is nice.

Mets fans are way too used to their team overthinking no brainers. This — again — feels like a new era. Between Scherzer and Showalter I’m not sure there’s a player/manager combo that can change a culture and legitimize an organization quite like they will.

Starting to understand why Jacob deGrom and others have spoken so highly of how Matz has looked in summer camp. Stuff and velocity look great. Would be huge for this team if he can be a reliable number two guy.

If you listen to Keith often, you know that him saying Soto isn't a "home run hitter" is his version of a compliment. Keith prefers line drive hitters like himself who go gap to gap instead of the launch angle guys who are trying to go deep.

Juan Soto is 20 years old. Juan Soto has played 154 @MLB games. Here's the Mets broadcast saying Juan Soto isn't a HR hitter. Here's Juan Soto immediately hitting his 29th career HR ONTO THE CONCOURSE OF THE UPPER DECK.

Mets fans loved and supported Noah Syndergaard for years. He then: 1. Asked for a qualifying offer 2. Declined it. 3. Leaked that Mets had "ghosted" him with his agent 4. Signed elsewhere 5. Trolled the Mets team no hitter 6. Denied it. Gaslighted the fanbase for thinking that.

How about the toughness of Sandy Alderson? I cannot imagine publicly announcing something as devastating as cancer returning, while also critiquing and condemning my own job performance. A job he’s been trying to do, by the way, while undergoing treatment. Bad ass marine, indeed.

The Mets are often guilty of being a mess and getting in their own way but I don’t like unnecessary pile-ons and that’s what the whole “ghosting” thing is IMO. A guy made a decision based on money. Totally get it. But I don’t need to hear his side’s philosophical rationalization.

Managers often have to make decisions that piss players off. Usually those turn out to be the right ones, and the player later agrees after the adrenaline wears off. Clearly that was not the case with Syndergaard tonight and I’m curious to hear how it’s handled postgame...

Hard not to speculate that the Mets spending up to $20 million on Wacha and now Porcello means they want the flexibility to dangle their SP’s on the trade market. I wouldn’t do that - especially with Syndergaard - but we’re getting ahead of ourselves anyway.
