Loved him as a Met, with his glove tapping and "Ya Gotta Believe".
Hated him as a Philthy. One of the 6 victims of the Veteran's Stadium brain cancer epidemic.

He is in the HOF in at least one display, just doesn’t have a plaque (and he doesn’t deserve one).

Might just be my favorite Met of all time. Will never forget him scoring from second on a force out. One of the good guys on a team of bad guys in the mid-late 80's. #LGM

There are a lot of good journalists (I’m sure you are one of them) and sportswriters out there. They just seem to be drowned out by the ones that have the biggest mouths on tv and/or the most followers on social media.

Ok if you say so. So the NY Post is unbiased? Fox News?

Agree with the last season analogy. BUT plenty of sportswriters (and other journalists) have an agenda. They’re not necessarily unbiased. Especially rampant these days.

👍🏼 I just find those 2 guys to be die hard Yankee fans never writing anything negative about them, while constantly reveling in negativity regarding the Mets.

Heyman is absolutely a clown. He and Sherman were who I was referring to.

Agreed - and note the big difference between a Daily News writer and the clowns from the Post.

This administration is really focused on the important issues. 🤔

Team Rational. I said as much yesterday and still feel that way. Fandom started with Tom Seaver’s rookie year, so long suffering, but did see both championships. #LGM (Now that Alonso is gone can we drop the F?, always annoyed me).

He was similar to Diaz in that he created his own problems before getting out of it. Never an easy save. Probably the longest term of any closer they ever had.

I believe Williams will be a pleasant surprise, but then again, I’m still an optimist after 50+ years of Mets fandom.

I disagree about Williams proving he can’t be a closer in NY - did you forget Diaz’ first year with the Mets and his -0.6 WAR and 5.59 ERA? Worst year of his career coming off a 56 save season with Seattle. 7 blown saves. How many times did he signal a fly ball only to see it reach the stands. #LGM

I’d be ok with that - remains to be seen.

Exactly - I get really annoyed by the “first reported by” bs, no one gives a shit who was first but them!

Maybe true. I just find all these talking heads and sportswriters pretty much intolerable.
