Does 17 blown saves mean the Mets could be a WC player if they found 1-2 answers for the pen or is it just wishing on clouds?

Dan Szymborski

12:51

Well, one, you don't get those back. Two, teams blow a lot of saves (and win some of those games too)

Mets are in the lead, but they're not lapping the league

Given the recent SCOTUS ruling on Iancu v. Brunetti that completely repudiates the Lanham Act, is there any remaining legal standing to deny Teams like Cleveland in the MLB and Washington in the NFL their legal trademarks despite how distasteful we might find them?

Dan Szymborski

12:52

I'm not a lawyer, so I can't give an answer for this, you might want to hit up Sheryl or Craig Calculator or Eugene Freedman.

12:53

But just speaking for me, while I don't like the logos, I think the Lanham Act is garbage on this and the just way to get rid of those logos isn't playing trademark law games with them.

Bobby Bradley needs a nickname. Give him one.

Dan Szymborski

12:53

Bye Bye Bobby Bradley?

Wait, there was a garbage pail kid named bye bye bobyb wasn't there?

12:54

Yup

12:55

Man, when I was a kid, these were just as valuable as trading chits as Ecto Cooler.

Can we just get Calloway and the Wilpons together, load them into a rocket, and jettison them into the sun already? It's exhausting to be a Mets fan

Dan Szymborski

12:55

Seems like an awful lot of resources.

TC Bear

12:55

Twins still haven't lost 3 in a row

Barnold

12:55

Barnold....good name or great name?

Dan Szymborski

12:55

Depends on the last name

Mickey Goaway

Is it true that most of your articles are written by your cats walking across the keyboard?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

Yes

Joey Gallo

12:56

Why try to shoehorn all of us (Choo, Pence, Mazara, Santana, me) in the OF/DH when I'd be a serious upgrade over Guzman at 1B and have played there before?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

Mainly because I"m no sure the Rangers will actually do that

need multiples

12:56

Yankees lineup question: what is more important in the 3 hole: contact or power? Yanks can lead off with judge and have voit and his 387 OBP bat second. Would you rather have Stanton or DJ LeMahieue in 3rd spot?

Dan Szymborski

12:56

I'd rather have power - the #3 spot leads off the fewest innings.

Matt

12:57

Is it really a truth that the Marlins are a bigger joke than the Mets? Really?

Dan Szymborski

12:57

They're different kinds of humor

The Marlins are more wacky funny

While the Mets are more cringey.

12:58

The Marlins are like when Michael Scott declares bankruptcy by shouting that he declares bankruptcy after spending money on multiple magic kits.

The Mets are like when Michael Scott fake fired Pam or dumped Pam's mom at lunch

The voting process doesn’t matter, ASG is stupid as long as it occurs halfway through the season

Matt

See you tomorrow, Dan.

Logan Allen's Run

12:59

is he D'Adam Jones now that he's on the D'Backs?

Dan Szymborski

12:59

Just a typo

cool

Look Dude

Pujols back on st louis = Rocky in Russia?
