So its a long shot....but does anyone have the following:

2007 Bowman Chrome Prospects Red Refractors #BC170 Tobi Stoner /5
2007 Bowman Chrome Prospects Printing Plates #BC170 Tobi Stoner 1/1
2007 Bowman Chrome Prospects Superfractors #BC170 Tobi Stoner 1/1
2010 Topps Finest Red Refractor /5 Tobi Stoner (Letter E)

I know him very well as I grew up with him and have every other card of his and this would finish off the master collection. I know its a major long shot but I guess I gotta try.

It's incredible seeing how poor offense has been for the Mets.

Virtually every hitter is having one of their worst (if not the worst) seasons....simultaneously.

I like this.

Lindor is a massive tool.

"Athletes today are soft" is something that gets overused, but.. this is it.

This

If Lindor takes offense to being booed when he is being paid $340mm, batting .200, with the team on a skid that took them from 4 games up, to 7 games back, he should not have come to NY

What a mess, sorry Mets fans. Did Cohen’s response say much? DFA would speak loudly.

JRX · 08-30-2021, 09:39 PM

They won't actually do it, but since they're not making the playoffs and Baez sucks its at least conceivable. Too bad they wasted a prospect for this guy.

speedyjg13 · 08-30-2021, 10:32 PM

Release the thumbs down crew like the Angels released Pujols. Gone!

base set · 08-30-2021, 10:40 PM

I finally gave in to temptation and clicked the Bleacher (Nation or Report? I forget) link on this to see what Cohen said. Yawn.

Olbermann though, still a fire breather, suggests simply burning the $300 Million and DFA them both (all 3? who’s Pillar anyway).

Mets need a brand new classic Yogi-ism from somebody to put on the cover of the Post and as wisely suggested here, just move on.

I remember Mets Fans booing Richie Hebner in the late 70's and him giving them the "Up Yours" heading back into the dugout...

The_Reverend · 08-31-2021, 06:52 AM

Glad I flipped everything Baez and Lindor quick. The Mets disappoint more than they don’t.

NeedChapmans · 08-31-2021, 07:03 AM

Mets are just as good as the Yanks this year. 7 games out of the division lead.

Way to go Mets!

cardcollector34 · 08-31-2021, 07:20 AM

Ah yes, let’s DFA our star shortstop and the guy we traded a top prospect for, that’ll show em!

This isn’t even a top 10 Mets moment the past decade.

chester0711 · 08-31-2021, 08:22 AM

As Cubs fan, we have this special relationship with Rizzo, Bryant, and Baez from 2016.

The truth, Rizzo is about the only guy that showed up to the park and held any consistency after 2016. Bryant was top of the world to bottom of the world roller coaster ride year in and year out.

Baez just sucked at the plate. He has never adjusted his approach. To call him streaky would be generous, as he could go on a tear but it would last like one series.

He has a fancy snap tag though. I never want him back in Cubby blue. He was part of the problems on offense and whoever ends up holding the bag on that will regret it.

JRX · 08-31-2021, 08:34 AM

Nobody is ever going to DFA a 300M player, that's just silly. Cohen doesn't have that much money to just eat 30M a year.

Sisk · 08-31-2021, 08:40 AM

I cannot wait until Cano comes back next year!

Cano is a solid veteran presence and he could be exactly what Lindor needs.

At least show him the steroid protocols so he can hit hr again and then get banned and save the mets a ton of money.

mmbtvs · 08-31-2021, 12:46 PM

Rojas pregame sounded clueless. He really is not good at answering questions. Lindor had a good apology. Baez less so.

discostu · 08-31-2021, 05:14 PM

Such an insane end to the game, and getting the fans back.

All 8 of them in attendance.

You truly CANNOT make this stuff up.

@timbhealey
Javier Baez lost an earring as he scored the walk-off run, Luis Rojas said.

Sandy Alderson has joined grounds crew and security employees in looking for it near home plate.

@AnthonyRieber
Mets personnel, including team president Sandy Alderson, are still looking for an earring Javier Baez lost during his slide across home plate in the ninth inning.

@AnthonyRieber
Update. Sandy has given up the search.

..

NeedChapmans · 08-31-2021, 05:37 PM

You know who isn't looking for Javy Baez' earring?

Yup.

discostu · 09-01-2021, 12:48 AM

Through 132 games, the Mets rank 5th in runs allowed.

Meanwhile, the Mets rank 29th in runs scored.

jmarascojr · 09-01-2021, 07:20 AM

I may be in the minority, but to me, him scoring the winning run showed his ME FIRST attitude and not what is best for the team...

Yeah, they won, but he blew through the hold at third wanting to be the hero...

He gets thrown out, that crowd kills him for not staying at third, but the game goes on...

He scores the run, he's the "hero" and maybe all this thumbs down stuff goes away sooner rather than later...

And F his earring, i hope someone on the grounds crew found it and pawned it

That's why you shouldn't wear expensive jewelry while playing baseball. It's probably inside the batting helmet.
