Whiskey is a sad drink, but ice cheers it up a lot and well… Trapichito.

** Shortstop Francisco Lindor and utility player Jeff McNeil almost got into a boxing match, with the Mets’ clubhouse as their ring. The Puerto Rican insulted the other when he confronted him about a certain play. It happened a few weeks ago, but it’s only now being published by Mike Puma of the New York Post…

** El shortstop, Francisco Lindor, y el utility, Jeff McNeil, estuvieron a poco de convertirse en boxeadores, con el club house de los Mets por ring. El boricua insultó al otro al reclamarle, por cierta jugada. Ocurrió hace unas semanas, pero es ahora cuando ha sido publicado por Mike Puma, del New York Post…
