My parents live in Jupiter. That's a nice ballpark -- and an easy trip for the Mets, about 40 minutes from PSL, 30 minutes when my dad is driving.

First big-league action for Kai Gronauer, first Met-like creature born in Germany since Gardenhire.

Deutschland Deutschland uber Alles

Send Reyes to Germany and cut bait, it aint worth the aggravation

[Guest Edgy DC]

It's so worth the aggravation.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Really? It's worth waiting a few days for a blood test result in order to have one of the best offensive players in the club's history?

Not if this is another long term issue...

[Guest Edgy DC]

All ballplayers are human and vulerable to human frailties. Tejada also.

We need to get past instant gratification being the only acceptable outcome. It's unsustainable and it makes us fat and arrogant and self-destructive and miserable, no matter our wealth. You negotiate with the fates as maturely and rationally as possible. Emotional reactions like "It's not worth the aggravation" get you more aggravation and less success.

Or as a wiser person said, the path of least resistance leads to the garbage heap of despair.

That's my birthday homily.

[Guest Edgy DC]

In Jupiter, the Mets score three runs with two out in the first against Brad Penny. The big blow was an RBI double by Tatis.

In St. Lucie, Jon Niese has struck out three through 1 1/3.

[metirish]

Mets are "doing it for Jose"...

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

It's so worth the aggravation.

In the battle for number five, nieve has the mostly-A-team Cardinals and has two scoreless innings, with two hits, one a double, a walk, and two whiffs. Niese went 2 2/3 against Florida's A, yielding three hits, a two walks, and an earned run, while fanning five. The run scored after he was relieved by Jennry Mejia, as Darry Strawberry drooled.

[Guest Edgy DC]

NY	Mets	IP	H	R	ER	BB	SO	GO/FO
Nieve	3.0	3	1	1	2	2	0	1/6
Niese	2.2	3	1	1	2	5	0	1/2

Who wins the day?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Five walks by Niese tilts the balance to Nieve.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I wonder if they can find a guy named "Niete" who can fit alphabetically between the two guys.

Mejia was so lights out that it's now officially a night game.

[metirish]

Straw is so pumped about Mejia that he hit the recording studio with UFTO to cut a track in his honor.

Bonifiacio take Igarashi deep in St. Lucie and we are all tied up at two after seven.

On Jupiter, the tie is at three. The giveback was courtesy of Bobby Livingston Seagull.
