Hi Alex,

Thank you! I am headed into my third year, auto-pay is a wonderful thing. As long as you are on Substack, I will continue to read (and look forward to) your columns. You are a great reporter and I appreciate all your hard work.

Best regards,

Maria

Mets cursed. I dunno but New York appears to be! Hochul and Adams aren't doing the state any favors.

After management abused Matt Harvey's arm a few years back, and fans booed future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer this year, there is some bad karma coming the Mets way. But the Washington Nats are worse, so I feel your pain. Hoping to see Mad Max in the post-season; won't be seeing the Nats. Baseball as a business doesn't have fans or player welfare in mind. The only excuse for the abomination that is the DH is that it gives more playing time to aging hitters.

The Mets are sharing their curse with the Padres. Two overpaid, underperforming bb teams.

I would personally like to thank the Mets organization for returning Justin Verlander to his rightful owners😁. Go Astros , the most hated team in baseball.

I just can’t seem to get over the Astro hate, even though I know most of those guys are gone. Guess as long as Altuve, Bregman, and Dusty are around, I will passionately hate the Astros. Dusty because he ruined Kerry Wood and Mark Prior for Cubs all those years ago.

Do not despair about the Mets. I am in Atlanta and was a very sad Braves fan for a long time......it CAN happen.

Scherzer seems to be a new pitcher after leaving New York.
