Fun to see Pete Alonso become the Mets’ all-time home run leader. True sluggers don’t come along very often. Anyhoo, I enjoyed creating this back page in the olden days of 2019 when I was with the Daily News. Alonso breaking Aaron Judge’s short-lived rookie home run record.

Great milestone for Pete Alonso. Mets fans certainly want him to be a Met for life. I wonder how this offseason will go on his next contract. Hard to imagine him in a different uniform, but getting a deal done likely won’t be easy. #LGM

Attaway, Pete Alonso. Tied with Straw on the all-time Mets homer list with 252. #LGM

Helluva comeback to beat the O’s. Totally different vibe than than just a week ago. Out of the slump. Senga and Manaea ready to return. Top of the order raking at the same time. How about a 5-1 road trip to head into the All-Star break? And Soto getting rightfully added to the NL stars? #LGM

As a mass transit enthusiast, I was excited to take the tube in London for the first time. It’s easy to navigate and efficient. Five stars. The only eyebrow raiser is the choice of upholstered seats. @lulu1138.bsky.social

That top of the fourth inning... an absolute gem of a defensive effort by the Mets. Three Amazin' highlight reel plays, back-to-back-to-back. #LGM

One of President Trump's anti-congestion pricing mouthpieces has a notable conflict of interest: Her husband owns more than a dozen parking garages in the very part of Manhattan where driving has been reduced by the toll.

I cannot emphasize enough that the New York City subway is not scary. It’s one of my favorite parts of living here. I grew up in the suburbs having to drive on highways everywhere and that’s way scarier

I’m really ready for baseball season to start. This should be a formidable Mets team. Lindor, Soto, Alonso, Vientos, Nimmo, Alvarez is lineup that can do damage. #LGM

Great company if Soto-Alonso can get there. And Lindor has been hanging around 30 too. Should be a tough lineup to face.
Pete Alonso is projected for 36 HR and Juan Soto is projected for 35 HR, per Steamer
Mets duos with 35+ HR in the same season:
2006 Carlos Beltran, Carlos Delgado
1987 Howard Johnson, Darryl Strawberry

Manhattan traffic moves way faster since congestion pricing launched, MTA says
The MTA says faster travel times should ease the pain drivers feel from the $9 toll.

Lots more data to collect, but everything so far has been extremely encouraging on congestion pricing.
NEW: There's been a 51-percent drop in injuries an a 55-percent drop in crashes year-over-year within the congestion relief zone in just the first 12 days of the program. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/01/23/c...

Isn’t it about time for the resolution people to quit the gym? Sweet merciful crap. There should be congestion pricing for the gym. Make people think if they want to get a membership they’re only gonna use for 2-3 weeks in January.

Just in: New Jersey’s request for a TRO has been denied. Congestion pricing goes live in 27 hours and 36 minutes.

Here’s a live look at our rager of a New Year’s Eve celebration. We love NYC… but do not subject ourselves to what goes on outside our castle walls on this holiday. So long, 2024. Cheers to a great 2025.
