Good. Let's talk about something else.

Andrew Brown went 4-5 yesterday and is hitting .356.

The Hashtag Hammer.

Lagares has been the team�s best outfielder on both sides of the ball in 2014, so fans and media were puzzled by his seemingly sudden benching. Leading up to the Mets� matchup with the Nationals on Friday, the hashtag �#FreeLagares� was the top trending item on Twitter in New York, and plenty of fans cited Lagares� absence as reason enough for Collins to be fired.

I like to think it was Bucket and Kong with their then-funny "Free Timo Perez" sign at a 2002 (or so) game that launched the notion of equating a player not getting PT as a political prisoner.

And Timo has a World Series ring, so THEY WERE RIGHT.
