12 day games but we're not one of them.

Schwinden, Pascucci, and Baxter added from Buffalo, will be here tomorrow. Pascucci will wear number 15.

Good for Valentino! I think he was an Expo last time he was in the majors, but I'm not sure.

Adam Rubin
Tim Teufel will be with the Mets as an extra coach from Sept. 9-18. Wally Backman then joins the #Mets for remainder of season.

15? how dare he.

I'd have sworn that Val Pascucci had been up with the Mets before, in fact I was so sure he was that I went to MBTN to see what number he wore before. I am either conflating him with another player or there was talk of him coming up in the past.

[Guest Edgy DC]

One fish, two fish score in the first.

Mike Hessman?

I dunno.

[metirish]

A Catcher IIRC.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Joe DePastino?

Capuano = bat guano

[Fman99]

I'm punching out, Maverick.

Hessman isn't doing very well in Japan:

Since he joined the Marlins, Jose Lopez has looked like the guy who hit 25 HRs and drove in 96 two years ago. He could be somebody to look at in the FA market this offseason.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Pascucci was hitting the cover off the ball a year or two ago. Jerry Manuel was asked (perhaps by fans) whether he had interest in adding him to the big squad and he acknowledged that he wasn't sure who Pascucci was.

Meanwhile... what a great game!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Eight runs down... we go to the ninth.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Jason Bay goes back to the future.

Mets down six.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Harris swinging 3-1 and the game is over.
