Good morning.
Meet the New York Teenager
Who Created the 'Mets Are a Good Team' Super PAC –
The FEC’s paperwork made it appear like the work of one
person, someone named Ben Aybar. He’d listed
himself as the chairman, treasurer, and custodian of records. The headquarters
was a residential address in the suburbs of New York City, and the
organization’s listed preferred bank was nearby. There weren’t any of the
typical signs of organized activity—there weren’t multiple people involved,
there weren’t any office buildings or P.O. Boxes, the headquarters and bank
were in the same state. Instead, it seemed like… well, it seemed like it might
actually be one person who thinks the Mets Are A Good Team. I reached out to
the email listed on the form, asking if he’d be willing to talk. Sure, he said.
The next day at 10 a.m.?
Can baseball
make a comeback?
The sport faced a similar challenge 50 years ago, dogged by a
scoring depression and lagging fan interest. In response, baseball's rules
committee lowered the pitcher's mound 5 inches and tightened the strike zone,
making it harder for pitchers to dominate the game. That sparked more scoring
the next season — and more exciting games for fans.

I can’t take any Mets fan seriously who would
say no to Machado. Sorry, I don’t want to spend an entire summer watching Todd
Frazier hit .220
Mack – I don’t know why we keep talking about
this guy. It’s not like he’s going to sign with the Wilpons.
Mets historic GM candidate Kim Ng
has a big fan in Joe Torre –
She’s very bright. She knows her baseball. And she’s, how do
you put it? I don’t want to say sure of herself, but s he’s very bright and a
very brave woman. She knows baseball and she doesn’t hedge on stuff. She
attacks things head on. That’s the best way to put it.”

A 70 year old corpse
who has waited his whole life for a GM opportunity turned down the Mets
job. If that is not the clearest sign
that MLB needs to force a sale I don’t know what is.

Interview with a PAC? I thought there were no politics here :)
BTW - I have an 'open thread' coming up at 11am regarding our new GM
Baseball will make a comeback when more guys like Jeff McNeil succeed in playing the game the good, old fashioned way...smarts and hustle. Less emphasis on muscle.

I do not know too many people (near me at least) that are not counting the days left until this election day voting is finally over.
The poorly scripted and videoed political commercials are one reason, played way too often and everywhere too.
