    With the pitching the Mets have next year if healthy. Harvey-DeGrom-Thor-Matz, and the rookie that came up.

    Along with NL powers like the Cubs, Dodgers, Giants, etc, it's not a crazy statement.

    They only have him for 2 more years until he hits the market unless they get him to sign before FA.

    It is a crazy statement when you consider the context it was said in.

    Why do they allow Laz Diaz to umpire important games?

    Isn't there some sort of meritocratic system for selecting postseason umpires? Doesn't seem like he'd make anybody's cut.

    If you know an umpire by name, that's typically a bad sign.

    Dont think it mattered but Toronto got shafted on some calls late in the game.

    They had plenty of chances early in the game to add some runs though, they gotta win today to have a shot at winning the series.

    Me neither. But Laz Diaz should not be on the postseason crew.

    I'm pretty sure it's like the NFL where the post-season officials are those who are graded the best through the season. But I'm not certain on that.

    Montero may never have to pay for another meal in Chicago. I love October baseball.

    Why wouldn't you pitch to Coghlan? Too much thinking in the Dodger dugout.

    I liked the move. Just Blanton isn't good enough to execute the plan. I know he has had a good year. I am just not a believer in any ex Faillies.
