Today let’s start with the NOT LINKING section. OMG there are 6000 articles that are all variants on Dom Smith Needs To Do Well slash The Mets Want To See What Dom Can Do. Do you people even try with these things? Why not write a Mets Hope To Beat Atlanta Tonight article.
SLACKISH REACTION: Do the Mets know about @mets. I ask because…
We improved to 18-10 when @seth_lugo starts. According to @EliasSports, only @DocGooden16 (19-9) had a better team record in his first 28 career starts. 🐐 #Mets pic.twitter.com/cURSXIugHX

…let me translate that for you. Hey World, we have the best starter we have had in 30 years and our manager has him pitching two innings now and then in games we trail because the SP sucks.
Insert daily Mickey Callaway rant here.
Anyway, not much happened yesterday. Rubin is retired so nobody generated any stories, and I didn’t have time to take my own advice and Try Harder, but unlike the beat and Pravda I actually have three things I work on while not doing this, which is a hobby.
Thank you Adrian Gonzalez for being an honorable addition to the Mets.
The Mets are skipping Vargas Day. And they are in Atlanta which plays at 7:35 because reasons.

Speaking of rebuilding around youth….
So since @Mediagoon left to form Van Hagar, this has pretty much been a one man shop. I have some upcoming travel which won’t allow me to blog for a few days so I have asked @nikometsplus to cover. I think you can see from the tweets below that he Gets It.
This should be a lot of fun. That being said, I also dislike netting, black uniforms, and will be watching Harvey on MLB TV, with the appropriate memes at the ready.
Seriously, though, I’m looking forward to this. I’m a long-time reader, and can’t wait fill in. https://t.co/p3bIvdQrT4

I like Niko’s work a lot. He has the right eye for things and unlike old people like me actually attends games. Here’s another example of his work…
I know there is some big Nathan’s Hot Dog logo on the back of this cap, but I really like how the Mets giveaway cap has no NE Logo.

So I feel like the blog will be in good hands for a few days coming up, and you should totally follow him on twitter @nikometsplus.
Behind the scenes Niko did a Test Post to make sure all the doohickies were connected, and that one will publish later today as I have an unexpected Actually Have To Work Day that I didn’t know about until late night so I didn’t get to do my usual Autopilot Blog.
Together my young apprentice and I will encourage the Mets to win the World Series while nicely dressed.
