My favorite part is the guy who hit on a bunch of his subordinates and then after they started distancing themselves sent them texts flatout saying "Hey I only hit on you a little, gotta give me credit for not being as bad as Mickey" which is funny because the Mets' whole defense of why they never fired Callaway is because they claimed "nobody knew" about his behavior. :mets:

Also Darude you left out the far more damning Alderson quote:

quote:

“Let me try to make a point as strongly as I can, OK? Not every instance involving men, women in the workplace is a capital offense, OK? Every time something happens, it doesn’t mean somebody has to be fired,” Alderson said. “There are a lot of intermediate steps that can be taken and we’ve done that in a variety of different cases. And have included capital punishment as a consequence in some cases, but not every case rises to the level of execution. And that’s what honestly I think is happening with these articles (in The Athletic). People are getting executed, including women, by the way, for reasons that are unjustifiable.”

Also just a general life lesson to take away: HR is not your friend. They do not care about you, they are not there to help you, they are not there to make you feel better. HR exists to protect the business from legal liability and PR damage. 99 times out of 100 they are more interested in the fastest possible way to get you to shut up and sweep an incident under the rug rather than actually confronting workplace issues. Particularly if said workplace issues are being perpetrated by somebody even remotely high up.

Just wanted to say that anyone that defended Sandy Alderson in these threads the last few months, well he's a poo poo just like I said. He clearly doesn't give a drat about sexual harrassment in the Mets front office, only the press about it. This article is all kinds of hosed up

Yeah, it's awful.

Considering he just re-hired someone that he was confronted about, this is all kinds of gross and he can gently caress off forever.

The Mets have played 8 games this season. They've had 7 games postponed/suspended (3 for Covid, 4 for weather). One of the games they played was a makeup game.

They're gonna get to the ASB with like 60 games played.

I think I have a false memory of watching that game live, but I probably only saw the replay because I was living in Minneapolis at the time and obviously didn't have NESN. Just an absolutely wonderful bit of history. Deserves a documentary short and/or oral history.

Hoyer came out yesterday and said that while he hoped the Cubs would be at 85% quickly, "there are a lot of different perspectives among the players" that may delay reaching that target.

Just one more reason to hate this loving team. :suicide:

The Yankees have. They made a big deal about it and Urshela ended up missing a game due to side effects.

Dodgers' crimes.xls made me think of Kevin Maitan, who was going to be a top-notch prospect and was stripped from Atlanta in the Coppollela mess.

Before covid, Maitan never got above A-ball for the Angels. He didn't exactly tear up the Venezuelan Winter League last year, either.

That's only been for one game though (so far)

In their current losing streak they've given up 6, 7, 6, 8 and 6 runs. It's been the pitching that's been the problem (they haven't been scoring either to be fair)

Also the M's get to face the covid ravaged Astros so the lead over them should widen

The Astros were so hot against the A's to start the season that they still have by far the best run differential in the west and also the only positive run differential in the west

Some of the Cubs don’t want to get the vaccine because Trump told them they didn’t need to.
On the other hand, some of the Cubs don’t because Biden told them they did.

Lots of different perspectives. Very complicated issue.
