This dude could flat out hit. One of my favorite baseball players ever and New York Met. Even named one of my dog’s after him. Rusty Staub. “Le Grand Orange”.. What a pleasure it was watching him play baseball. RIP 🙏❤️
Saw this on Facebook.. Honestly, the feeling of walking up the ramp and looking out at Big Shea, I was always star struck. From a young boy in 1974 all the way to 2008. Every time, I was always in awe. Great picture.. Loved Shea Stadium ❤️ 📷 Marty Walsh.

From 1974 up until 2008, this view of walking up that ramp & seeing Shea Stadium in its full glory? Always gave me chills. I felt like I was walking into a cartoon. I never saw greener grass. I love Citi Field, but Shea Stadium will always be home. So many great memories

The Mets have Lindor, Alonso, McNeil, Nimmo. That’s a pretty good core. Senga & Quintana, both solid. Diaz, best closer in Baseball. We will add more, we offered Yamamoto 320 million. Stearns is only 3 months into the job. The Mets aren’t punting. WTF? 🤦🏻♂️The Mets will be ok.
#LGM
I have to say
#MetsTwitter
is killing Lindor. I get it, it’s the contract. But if you honestly believe this guy is done, you’re wrong. The man stands in front of his locker after every game & accepts accountability. Nobody roots harder for him than me. Cheer this guy, don’t hate
Great Day yesterday for Doc Gooden. Ran into Lee Mazzilli, the guy who wore

Shocked with so many

tomorrow night. Not a Yankees fan but always respected Mattingly. I know they both have deep respect for each other. I heard both say that. The 2 best 1st basemen in the 80’s. Both belong in the HOF, no question. ⚾️
@baseballhall
Here’s a throwback, lol. I’m guessing I was 5yrs old here. Maybe 1974/1975? Before heading over to Shea Stadium for a Mets game. As a kid, I would wear a Mets uniform to games. My dad was the best. Always took me to Shea. Been with this team for as long as I remember.

Man did this post go viral. I love all the comments and likes. I tried to respond to all. So cool to see Rusty getting the love. Dude was a gamer. Thanks All, glad I’m not the only one who appreciated this man.

Mets fans, here’s my take. We’re a good team. We lost 4 to a good Astros team. The Braves are a good, I knew that coming in. They’re not going to hand us the division, no way. But how can you give up on these guys? Honestly, I believe we’ll win the East, but we have to earn it.
I’m an older Mets fan. I love engaging with the young Mets fans. I do, LOVE THE PASSION. In the 80’s, our rival was the Cardinals, those that remember those days, you know. But in the 90’s? It was the Braves. Today, it’s the Braves again, but this time? We’re better..
#LGM
Shocked by the negativity towards Cohen
@StevenACohen2
& Stearns. Both flew to Japan to meet with Yamamoto & his family last week. Would the Wilpon’s do that? NO. Don’t compare the ownership. Will Yamamoto sign with us? No idea. 🤷🏻 But don’t compare Cohen with the Wilpon’s. 🤦🏻♂️
Mets fans, don’t give up on this team. It’s going to be a battle for the NL East. The Braves are good and we can’t sleep on The Phillies. But this 2022 team is different.

Much love and respect for Dom. He will go down, figure it out, and be back in the Major Leagues. Maybe not with the Mets, but he will go on to have a great career somewhere. I’m so rooting for Dom, he’ll be back.

Seeing a lot of Mets fans frustrated with deGrom. Well, I’m sure nobody is more frustrated than him. Hoping for good news today. Injuries happen, it sucks, but they happen. Sending good vibes to Jacob tonight. 🙏🤞
Very sorry to hear Jerry Grote passed away today. Sad day for the New York Mets & Baseball. A key player for the 1969 World Series Champion Amazin’ Mets & 1973 National League Champion Mets teams. Handled a great, young pitching staff & played the game right. RIP Jerry.
🙏❤️😢⚾️
Folks, JD Davis was run out of New York by the fans and media. Much like Travis d’Arnaud was. JD wasn’t getting it done. Change of scenery worked for him. 90% of

@sal_licata
So what should we do Sal? Pack it in, get ready for next year? Forget the Wild Card? The season was a success despite losing the East to a good Braves team. The Mets are dangerous & can match up with anyone. You have a platform, but you’re acting ridiculous. Be better, man. 🙄
I don’t judge Mets fans who panic. Believe me, I do too. Especially last year, I knew that team was so much better, but lacked leadership. This year is different. We’re all in this together. Hate to see Mets fans fighting each other. We’ll be ok.

Watching this Keith Hernandez documentary on
@SNYtv
. No doubt . Love Keith! He was our captain ❤️But Mets fans, make no mistake we can’t forget Kid Carter… He was awesome and helped us win in 86..,Love both those guys. Garry was just as much a hero as Keith. Truth!!!
El Sid was the unsung hero of our World Championship 38 years ago and I saw his exploits first hand from my seat in the press box at Shea Stadium.

Always liked Luis. He represented the Mets well and a very versatile player. He was good. I really wish him well and continued success. Wherever you end up
@lguillorme13
you will be successful and always have a fan in me. Mets fans appreciated and loved you… 👊
I have to say, I never saw a team with more guts, swagger, confidence, and a total bad ass attitude. That team feared nobody. Teams feared them. In games and brawls. The 1986 Word Champion New York Mets!!

Mets fans, don’t sleep on Joey Lucchesi.
@JoeyFuego44
.. Dude is healthy, provides innings, & a gamer. He deserves a spot on this rotation. Injuries hurt him but I believe he’s healthy now & was impressed by his pitching outings last year. I like this kid. Don’t sleep on him. 👌
@tai_walker
Hey man, you’re a solid guy. Hated to see you leave the Mets. But that’s the business I guess. That being said, you had a great year. Have no idea why you didn’t pitch in the Postseason. I’d take you back in a New York minute. Be proud, I rooted for you this year.
Yamamoto is free to sign wherever he wants. He does, it’s a huge decision and wherever he signs I wish him well. I hope it’s with the Mets, but if he’s hesitant to come here for whatever reasons, then we don’t need him. I want players who want to be a New York Met. His choice 🤷🏻♂️
Mets fan here. I love Jake!! I’m rooting for him, I hope he gets a couple of more Cy Young’s. I will only root against him when he’s pitching against the Mets. Seeing so many Mets fans celebrating this injury, WOW. Be better. Get well Jake. 👊🙏
Working my last and 11th straight 14 hour overnight shift. After tonight I’m off till 12/31. Santa may be busy tonight but he’s got nothing on me, lol. Wishing Everyone a Blessed Merry Christmas 🎄 ❤️✌️
Good for Alvarez. He had a tuff August but that happens to everyone. This kid is a stud. And his English is great. That’s not easy, but he nailed it. Love this kid 👊👊👊
Francisco Alvarez recently conducted a casual private interview with

Last night, Alvarez answered a postgame question fully in English
Absolutely one of my favorite Mets players all time. Lucky to have him on the Mets for 4 years. One of classiest players to ever wear a Mets uniform, or an

Curtis Granderson talks with
@nikilattarulo
on his induction into the New York Baseball Hall of Fame, playing for both the Mets and Yankees, his thoughts on the Mets' hiring of Carlos Mendoza, and Mets offseason expectations:
Great signing by the Mets. Since the DH came to the NL we never had a true DH. Now we do. Also, this puts Baty and Vientos, who both I like by the way, in competition with one another. That’s a good thing. Welcome to Queens JD Martinez.

Honestly, what’s the fascination with Council? He wants to set “The Bar” with managerial money? How about setting the bar with winning. My vote for Manger is Eric Chavez.
#LGM
Was supposed to be at the game tonight but just not feeling good. Once you hit 50, the Check Engine Light goes on.. But I’m ok, just need to slow down a little.. Enjoying the game in my air conditioned house.
#LGM
What’s with all these Tweets from Mets fans laughing Jake may be hurt? Yes, he left us, didn’t want to be here. I’m ok with that. Honestly, I’m rooting for the guy, except against us, then we destroy him. But to laugh at a guy who WE ALL respected? C’mon, be better. WTF? 🤷🏻♂️
Personally, I hate this extra inning “Ghost Runner” rule.. It’s worked out for the Mets, but It’s not baseball. I’d rather sit through a fair 18 inning + extra inning game.. 🤷🏻♂️
Mets lose.. Fuck it, blow the whole thing up & start from scratch. I believed in Buck, but he has these guys playing sloppy baseball. Eppler is clueless. Get mad

Peterson shows glimpses, he was cruising tonight, then it fell apart. Maybe he’s better in long relief 🤷🏻♂️? I really don’t know. But I’m rooting for the kid. I won’t bash him. He’s a New York Met. Hope he figures it out. 👊
#LGM
I didn’t agree with Mendoza having the bunt on for Baty. Why do that? Wasted at bat. I also don’t understand why when you’re called on to bunt, you can’t. Bunting has become a lost art in baseball. 🤷🏻♂️

1/31/2020 Curtis Granderson announces his retirement. A fan favorite, Grandy spent four seasons of his 16-year career with the Mets. He tied a club record by slugging three home runs in the 2015 World Series and won the 2016 Roberto Clemente Award.
@cgrand3
I normally don’t let other teams get in my head. The Mets sucked this year, we did. But that stupid song saying fuck everyone, “And Always The Mets”, I can’t help but say a BIG FUCK YOU to the Phillies 🖕Yes I go to Citizens Bank in full Mets gear. Nobody says anything to me ever
Mets lose. We had opportunities tonight, plenty. Couldn’t capitalize. Off day tomorrow, come back Thursday night strong and start a winning streak. Let’s Go Mets, Ya Gotta Believe!

I’m not a GM and I damn sure don’t know what I’m talking about. BUT…. If I were the Mets, Baty is my starting 3rd baseman and Escobar is my DH. Against lefties and righties. I love Vogey, but that’s what I would do. Vogey and Ruff are not the answer to DH. I hope I’m wrong. 🤷🏻♂️
Mets have optioned both Brett Baty and Mark Vientos to Triple A, they announce.
Also being reassigned to minor-league camp: LHP Zach Muckenhirn, RHP Denyi Reyes, catcher Michael Pérez, INF Jonathan Araúz, INF José Peraza and outfielder DJ Stewart.
Bottom Line… Retire

. Mets fans love Gary. Even those who never saw him play. Well, I saw him play. The man deserves a day, his family deserves it, the fans deserve it. Without Garry, the Mets don’t win in 86. That’s a fact
I have been to so many Mets games, too many to count. This is probably the worst game I ever attended. And I’m still here. 😂😂😂 Loyal to the last out.

I made it a point to approach every Police Officer I saw Friday at Citi Field & offer condolences to their fallen brother Officer Diller & thank them for their service. They need our support. Sadly I lost 2 good Jersey City, NJ friends who were cops killed in the line of duty. 💙
7/5/1962 The Mets sign 19-year-old outfielder Cleon Jones. 1969 was a career-year for Jones, as he hit .340 with 12 homers and 75 RBI, made his only All-Star Game appearance, and won a World Series title. He was inducted into the Mets Hall of Fame in 1991.
Very unfortunate, freak injury last night for Diaz. I have no comments other than my thoughts are with him, the man, not just the baseball player. That’s first for me. A proud man who represents his Country, Puerto Rico & the Mets. My prayers are with you

Missing an old friend tonight. Rusty, we were inseparable for 13 years. We were a great duo, best dog ever. Sadly he passed away in August of 2017. He was 13 years old. Honestly, I still think of him every day. He loved the Christmas tree. Merry Christmas Pal, I love you buddy.❤️
