4/23/26 10:01 PM - Ritchie Proclaims He’s “Soy Capitan”.
Patrick Duffy exits the shower and we realize stashing Didier Fuentes for a month on multiple teams only to have him suck was a dream. It never happened. Also, another sign it was a dream is that I was a giant tongue and Giancarlo Stanton was in a whipped-cream bikini. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Francisco Lindor (SS - NYM)
4/23/26 3:28 AM - Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor exits game with left calf tightness, will have MRI on Thursday. No sooner did the struggling New York Mets get a star player back than another one went down with a similar injury. Francisco Lindor was removed Wednesday night against the Minnesota Twins with left calf tightness, just hours after teammate Juan Soto came off the injured list. New York ended its 12-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory, but it might have come at a cost. Lindor labored around the bases while scoring from first on Francisco Alvarez’s fourth-inning double. The switch-hitting shortstop headed down the dugout tunnel with an athletic trainer and was replaced in the lineup by Brett Baty, who entered at third base in the top of the fifth. Bo Bichette slid over from third base to shortstop.
