The Mets went shark fishing tonight. Which is already a hell of a loving sentence.


Also Donald Trump Jr showed up.

I think the distance from "I can't wait for spring training games to start" to "I can't believe how long and boring spring training is" is around 4 innings.

Dammit Harvey I defended you to people and genuinely hoped you'd be treated to a team actually willing to give you a second chance. :mad:

I was surprised even in the depressed market how long it took for Watson to get signed. Sure he proved to be loving abysmal in save situations, but he's a fantastic setup guy who can get both lefties and righties out. Maybe FO's don't like his peripherals or something? The guy has outperformed his FIP literally every season of his career though: this is what extreme ground ball pitchers do.

Most athletes are young, dumb, and full of money. Honestly it shouldn't be that surprising.

Somewhere, the guy who writes the contracts for the team adds "shark fishing" to the boilerplate of "Things the signatory is not allowed to do for risk of injury"

Yeah, beyond the danger itself of interacting with various shark species, a lot of the species are facing threatened status, which of course makes it even more appealing to all the shitheads out there.

I kind of wonder how the whole meeting even came about. Did Trump Jr. wake up one day and say "I want to hang out with some baseball mans today," or did a bunch of Mets players decide that they wanted to hang out with some rich dude that they have little in common with? Or do their agents just have roulette wheels that they use to play celebrity matchmaker?

Weirder still, were they just independently shark fishing in the same area and just ran into each other? Is this a country club thing?

Me too. I thought he had held out for a large return and the Giants were reluctantly going over the cap. He's worth way more than that.
