Duke Jupiter only got into two games with the Ponies at AA. He got caught in his lone stolen base attempt, despite having previously been 31 of 32 this season at AA, but he made a big sliding catch in his debut.



It stinks to lose him so quickly. We'd love to write that it was really important to get Matt Festa onto the roster so he could pitch that one inning for the Mets, but my keyboard tends to push back against writing such things.

LOL, how do you know Duke Jupiter? That's crazy. They're well-known in Rochester because they had one semi-popular song 45 years ago. And I only know Duke Jupiter because I was born in Rochester.

Duke Jupiter killed. Southern rock meets power pop, with a keyboardist/vocalist who sounded like Greg Allman and a drummer/vocalist that sounded like Michael McDonald.



And clearly they had Michael Bolton's hairstylist, too, so bonus!
