So, that expands the roster of Mets turned rappers to Strawberry, Reyes, Valdy and the "Get Metsmerized" crew of George Foster, Darryl Strawberry (again), Dwight Gooden, Lenny Dykstra, Rafael Santana, Rick Aguilera, Kevin Mitchell, Tim Tuefel, and Howard Johnson.

1-2-3 inning for Ike. Went out and closed 3 bars afterward I hear.

In the boxscore I noticed one of the Angels relievers was rookie Cam Bedrosian, son of Steve.

So hard drinking' Ike is doing all right for himself out in Oakland: .314/.380/.443, though just one HR and is in a strict platoon situation - just 4 ABs vs LHP all year.
But Oakland itself is having a tough time: 9-14 though losing some tough games as they're +13 in RS/RA to date and Pythag sez they should be more like 13-10.

So on those two notes, Ike comes up in the bottom of the ninth last night, facing tough closer Huston Street, A's down by one, 2 outs, bags loaded, deep drive to CF ... and he's gets 'Trout-ed'

Prentice Redman, who you may remember from such films as "2003? Two-Thousand Me!" and "Howe Great Thou Art, Skip" is playing for the Long Island Ducks.

Gonzalez Germen is not sure which army he's marching in.

  • December 19, 2014: Purchased by the New York Yankees from the New York Mets.
  • January 20, 2015: Purchased by the Texas Rangers from the New York Yankees.
  • January 23, 2015: Selected off waivers by the Chicago Cubs from the Texas Rangers.
  • July 7, 2015: Selected off waivers by the Colorado Rockies from the Chicago Cubs.



Welcome to the Rockies, Gonzo. Baseball purgatory for relief pitchers.

Blaine Boyer goes on the Twins' DL. For that to happen, Blaine Boyer had to have been a Twin. Thought Blaine Boyer had been inactive since the Mets jettisoned (or Mettisoned) him in 2011. Didn't pitch in the majors in 2012 or 2013. Was briefly a Padre last year. Was a fairly active Twin this year.

Go figure.

Jose Reyes clears waivers in Colorado. Let the mumbo jumbo trade rumor bullshit begin.


I love the guy like a cousin, but unless they're paying virtually all of his freight, we should steer clear of the guy like he's the empty subway car at rush hour.

I love him as much as I love your cousin, and I agree. Taking on the final years of that backloaded contract, without having had the benefit of the less expensive early years (and the younger Jose) doesn't make any sense at all.

Jose Valverde, released from the minors by the Nationals last month, has been suspended for PEDs. So if somebody signs him, he'll automatically be out 80 games.

Smooth.

Season ending hip surgery for Ike Davis. Torn labrum.

Probably a lingering effect of the collision with Wright in 2011.

Did the guy even get a "Memories of" thread? Jeremy "Two Times" Hefner battling back after his second Tommy John surgery, now toiling in the Dominican Winter League.

Posted on November 12, 2015 Written by Kerwin Abreu .

San Francisco de Macoris: The general manager of the Cibao Giants champions of the 2014-2015 season, announced hiring pitchers Jeremy Hefner and Sam Gaviglio to strengthen the team's starting pitching.

Hefner, RHP 29-year-old has experience majors with the Mets, he debuted in the majors April 23, 2012 against the San Francisco Giants, working 3.0 inputs 3 hits, 1 bxb, no runs.

In two major league seasons, 50 games, 8-15 record with 4.65 ERA, 36 games as a starter, 224.1 innings, 242 hits, 116 runs, 55 bxb, 161 strikeouts.

"We are strengthening our starting pitching, we have had ups and downs, we are not in the position we want to be but we are working hard," said Felix Francisco.

"They will be available in the short term, possibly his first appearance out of the bullpen and be ready to open in the next week," Felix said.

"The pitching has stabilized in the last week starting pitching has been better," added Francisco.

The Giants are currently in the 5th position with a record of 8-12, in season 2015-2016 in option to BHD-Leon Cup, with special dedication to Michael Ferris Churches.

Man, what a case. The Mets were dead right on his redemptability but dead wrong about their capacity to be the agents of redemption.
