Named after a blind piano tuner. I used this song to write a punk/reggae tune called Cuban Refugee for my punk band The New Losers back in 1980. It's a long story. :)

Loving these posts! Thank you...

That's not fair to whimpers. At least a whimper is a noise.

Alonso and Raley, maybe Drew Smith...otherwise don't see a role for the others.

Adding insult to injury.

Because our suffering hasn't yet maxed out!

Likely the last at bats for Lindor and Soto this year. Great seasons for both. Betrayed by poor starting pitching and a lineup that only went 5 players deep on offense. #Mets #lgm

We are playing and managing scared. #mets #lgm

Now I understand why are hitters over think pressure at bats...they are reflecting Mendy.

Yeah, I can usually understand a coaches decision even if I disagree but Mendy is just pulling names out of a hat.

Honestly, my feelings are so familiar after a lifetime of disappointment it almost feels comfortable. 🫥

He hit it 116 mph. Just bad luck..

This feels like a do or die moment...and we die. #Mets #lgm

<crickets>

The Mets hitters approach is like Mendy's approach to the pitching...over thinking it.

This Mets comeback will make a fantastic flashback highlight show for decades! #Mets #lgm

Posted the same thing 2 minutes ago. Now it seems unlikely.

Not this aggressively.

Prediction: the Mets FINALLY come from behind in the 9th to win a game. Who's with me? #Mets #lgm

LOL! Yep.

Mendy gonna run out of pitchers at this rate. #Mets #lgm

<sigh> #mets #lgm

That seemed like an especially quick hook even in this situation. #Mets #lgm

Good

But no blast. BUT, still got the 2 runs so that's good.

There's the bloop...

Would love a bloop and a blast this top half.

Same. I am completely sucked back in. These game is moving at a snails pace according to my anxiety.

Lindor, Nimmo, Alonso. In that order.

Jeff is sealing his fate for next season with his play and behavior of late.
