Is Edgar Alfonzo related to the Mets' legacy of Alfonzos? Weird.

[Guest SI Metman]

I'm still debating if I want to do Clones-Yanks at St George or Mets-Phils at CBP on Wednesday.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Edgar Alfonzo is Edgardo's nephew.

My dead essay was about the Mets who did extended spring training this year, including Alfonzo. This'll be his fourth straight year in short-season ball.

last night's game...

Rafael Arroyo (c). He's 5' nothing... practically a smurf.

Armand Gaerlan (2b) has incredible range, and made a couple of terrific plays. Also got a key hit late in the game. BRING HIM UP NOW!

Timothy Grogan (3b). I have no recollection of him doing anything in particular

Jonathan Malo (ss) hit at the top of the order, looked pretty quick. I think he's from Montreal.

DJ "shhh, i'm hunting" Wabick (1b) failed to scoop a low throw that could have been costly.

Jesus Gamero,Greg Gonzalez and Caleb Stewart were in the OF. Each hit and fielded well. Gamero hit a 2-run hr and Gonzalez made a couple of great catches in CF.

i don't remember who the pitchers were. The starter was a righty, and did pretty well and showed some poise. the reliever got lit up.

the team was running, forcing errors, bunting for hits, hitting behind the runner... all the "smallball" stuff. Mookie must've gotten the memo from WWSB.

a great night at the park. Constantine from "american idol" sang the anthem!
