Good morning Mets fans! It’s Tuesday, January 10 — or Day 18 of the Carlos Correa charade. How are you feeling? Confident? Exhausted? Frustrated? Tell me when it’s over attitude.

Personally, I have lost interest. Of course, I’d like Correa to sign with the Mets (assuming he’s healthy), but until that day comes — officially — I have surrendered to the process.

Behind the Mask: Jerry Grote

In 1976, Bob Myrick found out the hard way how Jerry Grote felt about losing when the Mets rookie pitcher beat his catcher in a game of Backgammon, causing Grote to explode and sending the board and its pieces across the room with a single swing of the arm.

“I just sat there staring at him – hard,” remembered Myrick. “He got up and picked up all the pieces, and we never had a cross word.”
