We are back! After a week off to selfishly celebrate finishing our undergraduate studies, your favorite angsty baseball post-grads are back to chat about the ever-changing landscape of those New York Mets.
Listen, they're still a good baseball team. Perhaps, even a great one. Though they lost their first series of the year since last we spoke (damn you, Mariners, for sending down Jarred Kelenic to prevent the Brodie Bowl from happening and then beating us two-of-three while we celebrated with our families), but still went 5-2 this week to the Cardinals and Rockies. They head to San Fran next to kick off a potentially-harrowing 22-game stretch that also includes the Phillies, Dodgers, Padres, Angels, and Brewers.
Even with a good week on-field there's some dreck to wade through off it. Max Scherzer needs a fresh oblique. He's out for 6-8 weeks or more. We're bummed. Michael Kay made some real dumb comments about Gary, Keith, and Ron. Josh Donaldson made some real dumb racist comments directly to Tim Anderson's face.
Praise be to Luis Guillorme, Bench Goat.
And, on this week's Guy Remembering: an unlikely hero who sacrificed life and limb in the "bigged gimme at bat" of all time and a pitcher with an affinity for putting his hand in a place it doesn't belong.
Enjoy.
