Pretty awesome.

Who wins in the pool? I think somebody had that line exactly.

yeah, that'd be me. I won a 7-2 drubbing from the Phillies I think.

Congrats, Ceetar! Do you have the lotto numbers for tonight?

OK, promote Wright now.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Wright played the whole game at DH on Sunday, and went 2-4 with a double, a run scored, an RBI, and reached on an error.

Meanwhile Jose Reyes played 6 innings for the Cyclones this afternoon going 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored and fielded his only chance cleanly.

Why wait for tomorrow to activate him? Bring him up for tonight's game I say.

You gonna subject him to the BQE at rush hour? that seems cruel.

Holy hell, that'd be awesome. Sneak him onto the roster, then have Turner or someone play short in the top of the 1st. Then...

Most direct route is Belt Parkway to the Van Wyck.

(Super-advanced-I hate-sitting-in-traffic route: Ocean Avenue - Empire Boulevard - E. New York Avenue - Jackie Robinson Parkway - Grand Central).

OH MY GAWD! WALKING DOWN FROM FRED'S BAWX IS JOSE REYES!

can he fly from JFK to LaGuardia?

[Gwreck]

You don't really think that Fred's gonna pay for that, do you? (I would have recommended helicopter).

Not to hijack Wright's thread, but I find it curious that Reyes' agents were hanging with the Mets triumverant in Brooklyn. I mean, you think they completely ignored the giant pink elephant in the room?

[ashie62]

My ears were burning.

Three for six tonight, three singles. According to hair-impaired play by play artisan Gary Cohen, the plan is for him to play all 9 innings in FL the next three days and be activated Friday, barring any setback.

[Guest Edgy DC]

The lineup I want (nay, demand) tomorrow:

1. Reyes, ss
2. Wright, 3b
3. Beltran, rf
4. Reyes, 2b
5. Wright, 1b
6. Beltan, cf
7. Reyes, p
8. Wright, c
9. Beltran, lf

Maybe I'm being naive, but if he can play 9 innings in the minors, can't he play 9 in the majors? I know he wants to get his timing down but after watching tonight, the current players on the team don't have their timing down. For the first time this year, the team is flat. Bring Jose and David back tomorrow and light a fire.

Wow, pitcher batting 7th. You just gave Tony LaRussa a hard-on.

All that crouching's bad for Wright's back. Maybe we can spot Murphy an AB there? or Turner?

Maybe you're onto something.
If a player suffers from multiple personality disorder, can they bat more than once in the lineup?
Hey, Commish, we need a ruling here.
(Maybe they can fake some medical records here)

Later

[ashie62]

Maybe I can help with that lineup??

[Guest Edgy DC]

Wright should have hit this well his first time through the Florida State League. He went 2-4 with a double yesterday and sits at .421 /.522 / .579 // 1.101 through five games. (The real story yesterday was eight brilliant innings from Kyle Allen.)

The Mets are aiming at the weekend with him. I guess maybe he gets some AAA time before then.

If he's not already on his way up to Buffalo, he's not going to be. The last plan I heard was Friday in Florida. And with how he's hitting e ven Gary mentioned bringing him back earlier, but if he's not on his way here already either, seems silly to fly him all the way north for one game.

The St. Lucies finish up a four-game sweep of the Clearwater Threshers (I don't feel threshed) with a 5-2 victory behind the arm of Scott Moviel and the big bat of Cory Vaughn.

Our bushy-browed boy DH'd and went 2-2 with two walks and a run scored. Yeah, I think he's put A-ball behind him.
