Freaking Baseball, Man.
The Mets traded Canha. I knew they were going to, but I’m still sad.
I freaking LOVE Canha, yo. He was easily one of my favorite Mets (basically him and McNeil).
Edit:
At least he’s with the Brewers, so there’s a chance he’ll get to the playoffs.
Mets Stuff
Hahaha, this is fantastic.
McNeil!
Hahaha, I love that they put this on there, too:
Three Things:
1. An Invitation
I was playing with Pepper and didn’t realize I still had my phone on while I held it in my left hand and OH MY GOD I almost invited the whole Curriculum Review Committee to the newly- and accidentally-created “I’m so rtf rtf” event. That would have been hilariously bad.
2. A Joke
Q: What do you call wine made from a pig?
A: Swine.
(This joke brought to you by Nate and me playing Jeopardy!)
3. A Met
I FREAKING LOVE JEFF MCNEIL
More Sticky Drama
Oh, Scherzer.
First day of baseball!!!
LET’S GO METS!!!
(Did y’all ever think I’d be so into a sport? Me neither.)
Batty
Jeff McNeil is so underrated.
That is all.
McNeil!!!
YAY!
Four-year, $50 million extension with the Mets!
Awesome. I hope I get to see him play in person someday.
Presents of Mind
Yo!
So we opened presents today because why the hell not? My family knows exactly what I like, haha. Observe:
A magnet from my mom. I’ve got it stuck to my treadmill where I can see it from my chair.
A FREAKING SCHERZER JERSEY from Nate. I’ve dubbed it my “Scherzey” and will wear it on opening day next season (it’s already covered in Pepper hair, haha).
I also got a cat calendar as always. WOO!
Eliminated
Sooooo that was disappointing. The Mets did SO GOOD this season and then fell behind the Braves in the division at the last minute.
Then just lost to the Padres in the wild card game.
Bleh.
Maybe next year.
MCNEIL!
Well deserved. He was so good this year. Last year was an aberration. I’m so glad I picked him up for my fantasy team!
deGrom!!
HE IS BACK
Edit: and of course the Mets lose because the bullpen sucks and why should deGrom deserve run support anyway???
Reconciliation
So it’s been about a year since this Mets madness:
I’m glad they’ve seemed to work things out this year. The whole team seems to have a lot more chemistry this year. Maybe this will be their year?
Baseball drama, man.
(Edit from end of season: LOL NOPE)
METS!
This was fantastic. The Mets are special this season.
I know it’s early…
…but the Mets are looking so good this season.
That is all.
FIRST DAY OF BASEBALL YES LET’S GET IT SCHERZER
God I missed baseball. Everything is better during baseball season, and I have a feeling the Mets are going to do well this year.
(Edit from October: um…well…)
Y’ALL
Max Scherzer is a Met.
I repeat: Max. Scherzer. Is. A. Met.
My favorite pitcher is a Met now? THAT’S SO FREAKING COOL ALDSFJSLDFJHGLDFHLH
I AM LOSING MY MIND
Baseballin’
Jacob deGrom pitched a beautiful game tonight. 15 strikeouts. He also got a couple of hits and an RBI because, you know, he’s deGrom and that’s what he does.
Crazy good. I hope the rest of the season is like this for him and he gets his third Cy Young.
BASEBALL YAY
YAY we finally got to watch the Mets play today!
…And they lost. Which is unusual for them in their first game of the season.
But maybe that means the rest of the year will go well, huh?
…huh?
BALLBASE
You may have noticed (or not, depending on how much of a baseball fan you are, haha) that I posted nothing about opening day yesterday.
That’s because the Mets didn’t play.
The Mets didn’t play because they were supposed to play the Nationals.
And the Nationals have five players quarantined due to COVID.
No COVID cases at all throughout all of Spring Training for any team, but right before the seasons starts…of course.
So yeah, great start. They might play tomorrow, though!
Edit: nope, that whole series is getting delayed. They’re playing their first game on Monday against the Phillies.
Uggggggggggggh.
Mets, oh my god, that was such a fitting end to a very rough season.
Anyway.
Look at how pretty Calgary is! Time to enjoy it for the next few days before everything dies and the temperature drops below zero. And stays like that until May.
Annnnnnd the Mets have COVID
Of course. At least they weren’t the only ones to get it. Or the first.
Hopefully those that have it will only have mild symptoms and will recover fully!
Tweetball
Hello, peeps.
So the Mets’ season officially ended yesterday. SADNESS!
As I’ve mentioned, Twitter is basically my baseball info hub, and most of my liked Tweets are baseball-related (the rest are math/stats-related, walking-related, or PRIMO MEME CONTENT).
So as a little tribute to the end of the regular season, I present the Mets’ 2019 season in Tweet form! Enjoy.

ALONSO SMASH!
Such a cool moment.
That is all.
Yo
Cespedes had a “ranch incident” and broke his ankle, ‘cause he’s a Met and of course he did.
I shouldn’t have laughed so hard at this, but I did.
