The funniest part is that Starling Marte isn't even holding a bat...

Since the Yankee have lifted their facial hair policy, here is an AI image of what Derek Jeter would look like with a beard.

The bare face that single handedly ended the Yankees archaic facial hair policy. Also, I'm sure Goldschmidt is thinking, "you couldn't have done this 2 days ago!?"

51st state wins!

I have it on good authority that if Canada wins the 4 Nations Championship that President Trump will act swiftly to make Canada the 51st state so that the USA in essence wins the 4 Nations Championship either way.

Pete Alonso got in some infield work today on the back fields.

The Mets released their Theme Game schedule yesterday.

BREAKING: Elon Musk is threatening to take over the Mets and eliminate all DEI Events and Theme Games.

The Mets have released their 2025 promotion schedule. It includes Drag Queen Story Hour and Big Gay Choir, as well as Ment Bashoona and Wuspoore Womer.

In a clear act of defiance of President Trump and DOGE's DEI elimination, the Mets announced their 2025 DEI Theme Nights.

I polled employees from all 32 MLB teams and they unanimously voted Juan Soto the worst free agent contract of the offseason. *Note the employees polled range from janitors to concession workers and even as high up as ticket sales reps.

Brandon Nimmo has told me he's working on a new batting stance focused on the far right of the batters box. He's calling it, Project 2025.

NEWS: Elon Musk's DOGE has its sights set on cutting the Mets spending. In an email obtained by the @natlinquirer.bsky.social, a 20 year old hired from Discord has ordered Mets owner, Steve Cohen, to cease all spending. Payroll dump trades are likely & even contract termination for players & staff.

Are people saying the score bug is too big?

I would really, really like it if the players for me favorite team would not reference the destruction of my country for, say, a new batting stance, even ironically (Nimmo is not doing it ironically)

The meeting between Cohen, Stearns, Boras & Alonso was supposed to take place at the Trop, but instead took place at Steinbrenner Field.

I'm hearing that Pete Alonso will no longer wear number 20. He intends to wear number 44 during this phase of his Mets tenure.

Yet again, look who had it first.

NEWS: Superagent Scott Boras is working with Billionaire Elon Musk to direct former federal employee's salaries to Pete Alonso to make up for the money lost by overplaying his hand in free agency. This would then allow the Mets to sign Alonso for pennies on the dollar.

UPDATE: on the Pat Hoberg story...his "friend" is named Matt Foberg. The Inquirer obtained a photo of Foberg as well.

In case you ever feel underqualified for an opportunity, just remember Mark Gooden has won the pullitzer prize three times

Mark Gooden @toogooden17.bsky.social is a stupid, spineless, assess, useless, gutless, horrifically thoughtless, washed up, braindead troglodite who has made other completely undefendable decisions on his previous ballots as well. BUT DONT YOU FORGET ABOUT HIS PULITZER PRIZE #jackass #stupid
