Words cannot describe how badly I want the Mets to win this weekend.

Hi, Virg. I've never been big on gambling, other than participating in pools, buying squares and crap like that. Earlier this year, I decided to download the FanDuel app. My plan was to open my account with $100 and put it all on the Mets AND Bills winning it all. But I didn't do that and, instead, started making bets on Mets games. When the mood struck, I'd look at the various parlays for that night's Mets game and plunk $10 down. Haven't won one, yet. I'm down to $20 now after six months. It's fun. I haven't found it to be addictive in the least, but again, I'm not a gambler, per se. But I can't help but feel horrible for those who do have gambling addictions and may be trying to stop. Because it is just too damn easy with these apps.

Well, we're four pages in. I think it's safe to say that words, indeed, CAN describe how badly Joe wants the Jets to win this week.

It's official. Squirrel is the MLB Batting Champion!!

Thanks, man!!! Looks like Squirrel has the batting championship locked. I think Freeman needed to go 4-4 today and right now he's 2-3 with one more AB coming.

Now, GO TO YOUR ROOM!

Yup. Thanks to Edmunds!

It was dirty.

He's very professional.

I'm actually headed out to Orchard Park on Saturday morning and attending the Bills/Steelers game. I'll be able to catch all of Friday's game, but will likely miss some of Saturday's game. Assuming it's an evening game, I'll be able to catch most of it in the hotel. We always hit the Bar Bill in the early evening, so by the time I get back to the hotel, the game will probably be about half over. But I'll be keeping tabs on my phone.

Nobody except Brady and Gisele know if this actually took place.

Einstein did well in summing up what I found funny.

That's hilarious.

Is this supposed to be a compliment for Edmunds?

I was just looking at the weather in Flushing. Looks like it's supposed to rain all night. So now we're looking at 2 tomorrow and another game on Thursday with no days off before the Wild Card. Lovely.

Kaopectate?

Hey, fellas. Just quoting you so you get a notification. I forget to check here for days at a time. In all likelihood, it looks like the Braves are taking the division. That said, it looks like the Wild Card games will be scheduled Friday through Sunday at Citi Field. We're either playing the Padres or the Phillies. All three teams (Mets, Padres and Phillies) have not been lighting the world on fire recently. But we'll have Max and Jake. I said recently that I'm concerned about deGrom and after that last outing, I'll double down on that. And holy sh!t, was Bassitt horrible the other night. Cookie and Walker in the double-dip today. #LFGM

Again ... the dude was still one of the best QBs in the league last year and he is healthy. Why would he want to retire from the only profession he's ever known if he thinks he can still compete at a high level? You're doubling down on a painfully ridiculous take. But it's fun, so please don't stop.

I'm struggling to understand what this has to do with Tom Brady, or anyone else, for that matter.

Yeah, it's not like football isn't all he's ever known, right? Or that he was still one of the best QBs in the league last year. Or that Tampa Bay was set up to make the playoffs again this season. It was all his ego and padding stats. And again ... you (and no one here) have no idea of the goings on between Brady and his wife. Zilch.

You don't know this.

Oh, he'll be chasing more than potential.

Pay no attention to what your eyes see every game. Just trust that Edmunds is doing exactly what he's being asked to do and try to understand that all of his missed tackles and blocks are by design and that Edmunds is the main reason the rest of the defense is so good.

i normally get it cut every 5-6 weeks. It’s a gorgeous head of salt-n-pepa.
