It would provide an opportunity for a role-reversal with Leslie and Ron, though. He can be the foolishly starry-eyed optimist and she can be the world-weary pessimist now.

There’s any easy way he could’ve avoided this unpleasant attention - don’t be famous.

Pretty sure that was a different Nick Foles.

Are you sure? I feel like I would’ve heard about that.

Welcome to the internet, be on the lookout for Nigerian princes. They may have some money for you.

Can I quote you on that?

I assumed he was looking for a Blu-ray Disc of Reno 911.

I waited and waited and waited and then finally Christmas came. And you got me my favorite present.

So Mark Harmon and some dude ... ??

Anyone who’d turn down a starting job to remain a backup clearly doesn’t have what it takes to win a championship.

I’m not buying Bautista’s small sample size dead cat bounce. That’s nice that he produced one positive stat over the course of a couple dozen at-bats, but there’s plenty of evidence that he’s just done.

Not to mention, they still have Bobby Bonilla on the payroll. And I’m sure Rickey Henderson wouldn’t mind mounting another paycheck on his wall instead of cashing it.

Sure, there’s a statistical argument in favor of taking at-bats away from one washed up bum and giving them to another washed up bum. Paper over one guy’s abject weakness with the other guy’s slightly less abject weakness. But ultimately neither of these desiccated carcasses are getting the Mets to the playoffs.

That can’t be right, it’s one of the prerequisites for becoming a Mets fan.

So the Mets didn’t sign Bautista? That’s a relief.

I hear Rafael Palmeiro is trying to make a comeback in the independent leagues. I bet he’d look great in a Mets uniform.

Mets gearing up to go after the 2010 World Series championship.

I haven’t seen such a labored yet appropriate use of Japanese history to make a comparison since the Yankees pitching career of Hideki Irabu was compared to the tumultuous Sengoku period in the aftermath of the Onin War.

This is reminiscent of the argument that Trump is playing 10-dimensional chess and we’re all just too stupid to see how smart he is. Sorry pal, sometimes a moron is just a moron and not a secret savant.
