something that I’m not doing right now."

RHP Barret
Loux 6-0 after last night… still
sick that the Mets didn’t pick him.
Michael Baron@michaelgbaron - In their last seven games, the Mets bullpen has allowed
24 earned runs and walked 14 batters in 25 innings.
Adam Rubin@AdamRubinESPN - Hard to believe, but Ike is hitting only 3-for-47
(.064) at Citi Field this season.
Didn’t I say last week that I still
don’t understand why the Mets didn’t go after Gio
Gonzalez?
Watching “Woodstock” on VH1. I never
got there. Two weeks earlier I went to
the Atlantic City Rock Festival. 3-day event had the same lineup, but
only around 20,000 people showed up at the racetrack. Joe
Gebbia, Norm Shoemaker, and I went to the town of Woodstock instead of
Bethel and spent the night getting blind at The Joyous Lake and Café Expresso.
The band was Cat Mother and the All-Nite Newsboys”.
Jimi Hendrix sat in. Two weeks later I met my
wife at the Newport Rock Festival. It seems like last month.
AAA-Buffalo:
I was so happy to see that Dylan Owen got the start today. I was worried that he
would immediately be returned to the pen now that Chris
Schwinden is back in Buffalo. Owen has done very little wrong lately
and, frankly, has been one of the ‘non-prospects’ that have carried this team
into first place this season.
SP Jeremy
Hefner now has the 4th lowest ERA (1.64) in AAA.
Game one was just a serious pitcher’s
battle… P.J. Walters pitched a 4-hitter for Rochester… Owen went: 4.2-IP, 1-ER,
2.96… Elvin Ramirez had his first scoreless 0.1 (0.00) in AA…
Deolis Guerra’s ERA is still 0.00… oh, that’s right, we got Mulvey back.
AA-Binghamton:
First
up, Darin Gorski… Harrisburg broke up the
shutout in the fourth… LF Pedro Zapata doubled in a run in the 6th
inning and Gorski was done, down 2-1… 6.0-IP, 4-H, 1-ER, 4-K, 2-BB, 2.27… not
as spectacular as last season, but this AA and 2.27 is alright by me… Jeff Kaplan (2.0-IP, 0-R, 1.35) is figuring out this AA thing… that’s only one run in four outings…
No
surprises in the lineup, but the Mets do seem to be wasting a little time
waiting for C Kai Gronauer (.152) to start
hitting again. Kai was a good buddy of
mine on Facebook but has gone silent since his season costing injury last year.
He batted .253 in 158-AB so we all thought this was going to be a great season
for him. Hopefully, he’s get pissed after reading this and get back on the
horse J
Remember
the name Daniel Rosenbaum.
A+ - St.
Lucie: -
After four innings SP Cory Mazzoni is throwing a… err… SS Wilfredo
Tovar (.313) doubled in LF Alonzo Harris for
the first run… Mazzoni had a no-hitter
going into the 5th but gave up 2-runs that inning… glad I didn’t
jinx it…
If you live in Florida and you
haven’t seen Cory Vaughn play (8th HR
tonight), you better hurry up…
C Blake
Forsythe also homered…
The first to graduate A-ball could
possibly not be a pitcher. In fact, my money is on OF Travis
Taijeron who is simply spanking the ball. He’s now 4th in the
leage in slugging percentage, which is something considering he plays half of
his games in the hitter-unfriendly Grayson Stadium. Don’t be surprise if the
Mets don’t tandom him with a Cory Vaughn trip to B-Town.
No one’s going to believe that I
wrote the above paragraph before this game started. ‘Tayg’ went 3-hits in his
first three at bats, knocking in the first run of the game…
RP Jeffrey
Walters gave up three runs but kept his seasonal ERA at 0.00… don’t ask.
SP Michael
Fulmer had another QS… 5.0-IP, 0-R, 2-H, 4-K, 2-BB, 3.18… going to the game Sunday to sit next to Mike
and discuss his future while we radar gun together (awwwwww…)
