Oh, we got some things to discuss. 502. It's Wednesday midweek. The Eddie Scissary what is up. Al Dukes, how you be, dude? Good morning, sir. You know, Jerry, I am a Mets fan. You know, that you can say. I'm not a fraudulent. I believe that. I believe that. I'm not a fraudulent baseball fan. I don't root for the Cardinals some days and the Royals like I do in football. I do believe that. I'm a hundred percent of fraudulent fan in football, but baseball I only like the Mets. Though you are intrigued by going to a Phillies playoff game, which I don't blame you for. That sounds fun. Yeah, I mean, for the atmosphere, sure.

But I hate. only like the Mets. Though you are intrigued by going to a Phillies playoff game. Which I don't blame you for.

That sounds fun. Yeah, I mean, for the atmosphere, sure. But I hate the Phillies. I used to hate the Yankees, but since working here, I like, it's good for us when the Yankees do well. So I do find myself rooting for the Yankees. Oh, I'm a Mets fan. I don't care that Edwin Diaz left.

Don't care.

Like we're actually... so I do find myself rooting for the Yankees. Oh, I'm a Mets fan. Sure. I don't care that Edwin Diaz left.

And if you're doing well, you get to opt out for more money somewhere else. So they still, he was still going to get, I think, $39 million over the next two years.

He opted out for more.

Fine.

Okay, whatever.

I don't disagree with you that him going is the worst thing in the world. I really don't. Devin Williams, I don't, he'll be fine. And how many times they even used Diaz last year? Because they weren't a great team. But I think the other part of the conversation is, though, this wasn't supposed to happen when Steve Cohen bought the team.

And moving that forward, and I'm moving beyond Diaz very quickly, why would you just

let Pete Alonzo walk now when the money shouldn't be that much of an issue and you've

got a guy that the fans love, he produces, and yet you're playing games with him, he's probably
