So has everyone else the last 2 weeks.

The interview with Doc Gooden was sad. He was high. Had the jaw. He just gave this up.

Doc Gooden wanted ‘the stuff’ that killed Len Bias during depths of drug addiction

The Mets star opens up about drug addiction in the new ESPN doc “Once Upon a Time in Queens.”

Bad job by ESPN even trying to make that happen. Agree with you as I doubt his jaw has suddenly become a natural movement such as during using, so high he was.

Too Lindor too late

 

[navery12]

Maybe now people will finally wake up to the fact that Lindor has actually been good for the past 3.5 months. That was a huge win, need to pick up another 2-3 games over the next 2 weeks which is very doable

Too Lindor too late

Triple Lindy!

2022 with Lindor and no Baez would have to really change my mind to accept that.

Biggest AB of the season goes to a guy with a .327 OPS. Just about sums up how this season has gone. Just about every decision Rojas has to make is the wrong one

I want Baez back and I hope the Mets do, too.

I feel like it has to happen from all sides, Baez has wanted to be playing next to Lindor for a few years and we can make that happen. And the Mets are going to want to justify giving up a top prospect for him after missing the playoffs

And I think he adds value to Lindor, and vice versa. Ever since the thumbs down debacle Baez has been on fire, and I love that he has cut down on his strikeouts and increased his walks. Most of all I love that he is a joy to watch play.

Btw, has no one else watched "Once Upon a Time in Queens" yet?

I loved it, as much as a time capsule as anything else. I was a student at UConn then and remember the 1986 playoffs very well.

Amazing how talented that team was (starting in 1984), despite the dysfunction and incredibly hard partying--especially drug use.

I haven't seen it yet. I've read 6 books on that team and seen every other documentary about the team and the Doc/Straw stuff. I'd be pretty surprised if there was anything I didn't know or hadn't seen.
