Everyone needs to take a deep breath over this.  The Mets’ general manager is one of the most well-respected executives in the league, the front office just committed nine figures to a superstar outfielder, and they have a mix of veterans and younger players that has made the playoffs two years in a row, with one of…

Right. The problem for the opposing defense is that if you overload on Beckham, you are vulnerable to a lot of 6, 7, and 8-yard receptions out of Marshall. If you cover Marshall adequately, you are vulnerable to the home run from Beckham. It’s a nice situation for the Giants (it also sounds good but, as Dom pointed…

I feel like the Giants had to make this move: having a big, veteran guy to lean on should be a useful crutch for Eli when he struggles . . . it might also force teams to think twice before overloading on Beckham (but probably not). The only wrinkle here is that there is not a lot of cap space left to sign anyone new…

This is so good.

I am siding with the minority on this one: dial-it back, Dakota. What are you, 16? 17? Jose Bautista or Yoenis Cespedes or Bryce Harper putting a little flair into an otherwise drab MLB game will get nothing but love from me. But this reeks of a bro who had too much bro sauce and is just bro-ing out because he is…

Five?!?! Fu-uck. I just texted my wife and told her to throw the PS4 in the fireplace. Those kids are hitting the books when I get home.

Was this option not available when we all rode around in taxis?

Only marginally related: my 5 and 7 year-old boys went batshit this morning because (a) there was live baseball on TV at 6:45 a.m. and (b) they got to watch Yoelkis Cespedes bat for Cuba. (They have somehow convinced themselves that he will be on the Mets by June).

When your name is Natty Hagood, even something as badass as getting a tree branch through your face only takes the silver. Long live Natty Hagood. I think #RocketFrog and @VodkaSamm might need to make some room in the SideBar pantheon.

FWIW: taking my two boys to spring training at the Mets’ practice facility in Port St. Lucie last year was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. We had gone to a game the day before, and it was fun, but we showed up the next morning for the workouts and it was infinitely better. We were allowed to walk…

Marshall is gonna slide in nicely alongside Odell and Shep. Go get ‘em, G-men.

If Brandon Nimmo can move that quickly on the field this year we are going to be in good shape. 

They should build a wall to keep us out.

I don’t agree with all of this, but that’s not what’s important right now: I just to want to hug you for using the word “fulsome” correctly in a sentence.

Despite its obvious flaws, the two-shower solution remains the official position of Amar’e Stoudemire.

In fairness, I heard they were suspended for talking about their fantasy football teams.

I think the joke may have passed you by on this one.

I suppose this is an interesting story, but come on, guys, at 6-24, the Black Bears don’t matter.

This is like playing my little sister in Nintendo Ice Hockey. She could never understand that filling her entire squad with all the big guys was not a winning strategy.
