Therefore, if I were the Pirates, I'd immediately be trading Skenes to the Yankees as a means to lessen their payroll two more seasons from now when he is able to renegotiate. If Pittsburgh balks at the idea, maybe toss in a few truckloads of wieners. Yes, I know. Clearly I should have been a GM.

The Mets were nice enough to invite us and neighboring Fairfield's Little League Challenger teams to a special training session literally on Citifield's pristine outfield grass. The kids got to meet Mr. and Mrs. Met and Buddy (their official service dog). When it came to hitting baseballs, they were hitting the real deal.
One of our kids was crushing the ball. The Mets admin joked that if he hit the ball over Mr. Met's head he'd give him his assistant's car to drive. Sure enough, he did lol. But, no, he doesn't have a license ha. That same super nice kid is actually a big Red Sox fan. So "of course" he's telling us how last week he was hanging out with Judge (and Aaron's mom) and Verdugo... and said they were all super nice to him. Two different lots in life, each inspiring the other... as it should be.

From: Zen Dollar Round | 8/7/2024 10:01:52 AM | | | | Framber Valdez of the Astros lost his no-hit bid against the Rangers in Arlington with two outs in the bottom of the 9th inning yesterday. Corey Seager blasted a 2-run homer to right field on his first pitch to break it up.
I'm no fan of the Astros, as I think I've made clear in many past posts, but I was rooting for Valdez.
As always, baseball is designed to break your heart.
