Fanatics seems to have bought Steiner Sports

I am not a fan of Fanatics. They are company with one of the worst customer service departments I have ever dealt with. I once ordered a David Wright Japanese Jersey that was over $300 and they sent me a woman's college T shirt. It took 6 months for me to get my refund. My mom thought she was doing a cool thing for Christmas one year and bought me a jacket from there. The jacket's sizing was off and we sent it back to exchange it. Four months it took to come back for an exchange. I ordered two jerseys from them during the 2015 post season, and they weren't going to be delivered until after the World Series was over. I didn't get my refund until 2016. They bought Majestic, they made deals with MLB/Under Armor, NHL/Adidas to make Fanatics fan branded jerseys and now they are merging their autograph devision with Steiner? This isn't going to end well.

I am glad to see that I am not the only one that thinks they are a company who gives zero fucks about their customers.

Familia in unfamiliar territory.

Familia is having a rough  ass season so far. Where are the Mets pitching gurus who can fix him? Don't the Mets have two highly touted Pitching coaches(one is the manager) that can turn him around? If they can't fix their pitchers what good are they?

From the NY POST

“Everything looked the same for me,” Familia said. “I know I am not having the season that I want to have, but every time I go out there I am trying to make my pitch and get my job done, so there is nothing I can do.”

In his Saturday appearance, Familia allowed three earned runs over two-thirds of an inning. He and Robert Gsellman squandered a four-run lead in a game the Mets lost in extra innings.

The right-hander, who is 2-0 with a 6.56 ERA in 24 appearances this season, has played a role in the Mets’ last two bullpen meltdowns: On Wednesday he allowed a homer to Corey Seager as part of the Dodgers’ comeback that culminated with four runs scored against Edwin Diaz in a walk-off loss.

Have the Mets hit defcon 3 yet?

Star Wars Galaxy Edge is popping up at Disneyland and soon to be Disney World and what do the Mets have going for them? Losses and Mickey Watch again. I try not to write about the manager too much because some of the things he does hurts my head, but how do you laugh at your pitcher getting taken to another planet? You have to be irate at this point. Either that or you don't care if you get fired or not. The Mets pitching is faltering and Mickey is supposed to be a great pitching guru who should be able to take this staff to the next level. Too bad we didn't realize it was the next level of ineptness.

So when is Mickey fired?
