Today is June 14th, which is the anniversary of a very dark dark day in New York Mets history. June 14th, as I am sure you recall, is the day when Keith Hernandez was FALSELY accused of spitting on two innocent Mets fans leaving the Stadium. It was not Keith Hernandez who did this act, but actually pitcher Roger McDowell who committed the loogie act from behind the bushes.

We should not have a $4k difference on hitters, let alone a $2500 difference on hitters with similar qualities on a nightly basis, but that’s what they do over there.

Cease is a VERY good pitcher — not quite elite — but he is ELITE vs bad teams like the Tigers, Royals, Orioles, etc…. TONY GONSOLIN Hey Tony, thanks for coming down to the office. Listen, uh, we’re gonna need you to go ahead and be the Ace of this staff now? Mmkay? Thanks. That’d be great. Angels/Dodgers definitely feels like it should have some juice in it today but with the pricing the way it is, you’ll find that you can play Cease + one of Gonsolin/Bieber or Cole and nobody wants Cole vs the Rays and NOBODY wants Bieber in Coors do they? Well, you might but the Angels are still striking out at a ridiculous rate,…...
