From The Desk…




Good morning.



Thieves   Leave High School Baseball Team High & Dry –

A local high school called for the public’s help after their baseball team’s trailer was stolen  Saturday morning. Denver School of Science and Technology (DSST) Head Coach Bob Beatty told CBS4 the trailer was parked in the school’s parking lot when thieves took it.

Mack – Always remember… low life scum bag robbers will find a value in anything you own. Everything is sellable for crack. Lock everything down and put up the cameras.

As has been reported, the D-Backs will listen to offers on their best players, including Paul Goldschmidt. Most contenders are locked in at 1B for 2019; the Cubs have Rizzo, for example. Total speculation: One team that could be a great fit for a Goldschmidt deal -- the Yankees.

Mack – A lot of readers here have touted Goldschmidt over the years. He did his 33 home runs last season while hitting .290. What’s the downside? Well, he will play next year at 31 and is only under contract for the 2019 season, at $14.5mil. He also had the lowest RBIs (83) in four years.

Lastly, we have both Peter Alonso and Dominic Smith in the wings.

Are we still interested here?


American Airlines  enters burger contest, but loses to fellow underdog the New York Mets –

         
   American Airlines made a wild bet that a hamburger it serves at the airport could be crowned the best in New York City.

The airline went up against more than 30 local restaurants, venues and food companies at the New York City Wine & Food Festival on Friday night at a pier on Manhattan's West Side, an event American sponsored but never participated in before this year.

Mack – Isn’t this special. We need a new General Manager. We got a new hamburger. Same same.


Sam LeBOOwitz - @LeboMyEggo

                     The Mets should seriously consider signing Marwin Gonzalez this offseason. Idk where he'd play but I want him on my team

                        Mack – So, he plays the inside infield, played last year at 29 years old, hit 16 home runs, but batted only .247. 

                        Don’t we already have a bunch of these guys?



 Lastly… the search to find a new General Manager for the New York Mets continues. People are starting to realize why free agents don’t want to come here. General Manager don’t so why should their ex-players?

Have you ever watched ‘Bar Rescue’ on cable? Check out a few of them and when the dysfunctional a-hole owner is featured in the beginning of the show, with his beaten down under-talented staff, working in a club/restaurant that is basically empty because past customers have vowed not to return to eat there.

Now… think Mets.

Mack not that the Mets will make a serious run fir him but what do you make from Machado’s actions during last night game

Mack Ade said...

Machado has always been a dirty player and I dont like those kind of players in my lineup no matter how much talent they have

bgreg98180 said...

Machado didn't try to hurt anyone on the slide....or did I miss something?

Reese Kaplan said...

I'd take Machado any day and twice on Sunday before I'd talk to Bryce Harper. One wants to win. The other is simply an asshole.

Rustyjr said...

I dunno Reese - Machado seems to have a lot of Bobby Bonilla in him

Mack Ade said...

Bob

Go back and try to catch the video of him stepping on the Brewers 1Bman the other night

bgreg98180 said...

Hmmm...
Still,Realmuto and him would make a really strong team for years.

After the last 10 years, I think I could make it work

Anthony Carnacchio said...

give me machado on this team any day, don't care if you play dirty. He plays hard when he has to and is an absolute stud.

Tom Brennan said...

Right now, I want young Peter over older Goldschmidt. Not that Paul is that old. I just think Pete will be, well, the next Goldschmidt.

Pete's walk forced in Gimenez with the winning run in the 11th last night.

Since when do airlines "serve hamburger at airports"? And the Mets have "their" burger? Is it Keith's or Shake Shack? 😋
