1. I really, really, really wanted to write about the surreal day that took place at Citi Field on Thursday, with video of GM Brodie Van Wagenen bashing Rob Manfred for protest idea that mistakenly went out to the world on the Mets website; then Van Wagenen's apology, saying Manfred wasn't the person behind the idea, it was actually Mets owner Jeff Wilpon; then Wilpon's release blasting Van Wagenen and spelling his first name wrong twice in said release.
However, my colleague Dan Gartland did an excellent summary of the absurd events in Friday's Hot Clicks, so I'm going in a totally different direction as we end the the work week.
