Winning games on Juan Soto’s legs? Not how the #Mets originally drew this thing up. But their misfiring offense is scraping for runs on the margins, and now it’s time to hope Francisco Alvarez’s Syracuse power travels to Flushing. nwsdy.li/4kR05Tg
I have learned there's a person on the current season of Love Island who keeps using the term "escape goat" to refer to a kind of exit strategy, like a goat that you hop on and ride out of a difficult situation. Not sure why everyone isn't talking about this
Managers arguing face-to-face with umpires is stupid. My column:
I wrote a column about a giraffe. #Mets newsday.com/sports/columni…
Now 0-for-30
Francisco Lindor, now 0-for-27, still Mr. Smile. He even tried to have it trademarked once. newsday.com/sports/columni…
43,055 at Citi Field tonight. Everyone hold up your $5 hot dogs!
If the Yankees blow this game, are there going to be pestering, bantering, leading questions asked in Toronto tonight?
Heckuva crowd at Citi Field for a Tuesday vs. Angels. Mets have fixed attendance problem that so irked @StevenACohen2 last season.
Sticking my neck out here, but I don't think the Mets are ever going to let the Bronx Giraffe win.
Mets still trail 1-0 through three, with Vientos' bloop single the only hit. The Bronx Giraffe was in the lead late during the mascot race inbetween innings, but it was ultimately another painful loss.
Do you have to see Happy Gilmore 1 to understand the plot of Happy Gilmore 2?
Francisco Lindor, now 0-for-27, still Mr. Smile. He even tried to have it trademarked once. newsday.com/sports/columni…
Just finished the book "Long Island" by Colm Toibin and while good it is not about Long Island and does not mention @Newsday
David Stearns didn't express a sense of trade deadline urgency with #Mets sputtering offense, encouraged by what he felt was progress at the two shakiest spots: CF and 3B. But those are risky gambles for his $325 million, World Series-or-bust team. bit.ly/3IVniGh
Might Craig Carton return to WFAN for a third term? There is nothing in the U.S. Constitution that prohibits it. newsday.com/sports/columni…

Which number is next to be added Mets HOF or retired? John Franco (45), Gary Carter (8) or Mookie Wilson (1) could be in line newsday.com/sports/basebal…

David Peterson never played with David Wright at the major-league level. But it was away from the limelight in 2018 when Peterson received an up-close glimpse of why the franchise’s captain was so revered. On Wright as a teammate: @NewsdaySports newsday.com/sports/basebal…
Is struggling Francisco Lindor going to be the next Mets captain? Let’s go to the (deleted) video newsday.com/sports/basebal…
