Bingo 2016

Edgy MD · December 28, 2015

The ongoing drama around the team's move to Wilmington ends with a new owner sweeping in to keep the team right where it is.

Plan your travel, and your college applications, accordingly.

Wilmington DE? Yeah they need more traffic jams

Edgy MD · March 11, 2016

Bingo to celebrate their retaining the Mets affiliation by changing their name.

"Yay, Mets!! Suck it, Mets!!"

Benjamin Grimm · March 11, 2016

I vote to name them the "Bees".

Lefty Specialist · March 11, 2016

Might be a little tough to fit on the uniform.....

Benjamin Grimm · March 11, 2016

"Motor Kings" would work.

Binghamton Speedies? (Sandwich reference!)

April 15, 2016

Bingo knuckleballer Mickey Jannis, who also made a surprise AZ Fall League appearance, took a no-hitter into the 7th last night.

Amazinly, he did so wearing uni #6.

Gave up a homer and stuff in the 8th but won 12-2 over Erie thanks to 17 hits by his mates.

Keep an eye on this guy!

Edgy MD · April 16, 2016

I'm excited to see what our Jannis-headed knuckleballer can bring, but Bill James has written that it takes a bad (and desperate) team to give a chance to a knuckleballer, so he may need to move on to break through. But good for the Mets for seeing it through thus far.

...meanwhile in Akron, I just saw Akeel F. Morris walk in the tying run with 2 out in the ninth.

Edgy MD · April 21, 2016

Akeel's hard to touch, but his control is more of an issue a the higher levels.

Sorry he ruined your night. Say hi to Devo for me!

Chad ochoseis · April 21, 2016

The B-Mets are through being cool. Rubber Ducks 3, B-Mets 2 in 10 is the final, thanks primarily to rehabbing ringer Michael Brantley, who went 3-4. But Gsellman didn't gsuck; 1 run, 3 hits, 7 Ks in 6 1/3, and he handed a baseball to a little kid in a Batman t-shirt hanging just behind the dugout. And there was some nice infield defense going on all game.

Dominic Smith lollygagged his way to first base on a grounder in the 8th, and got what looked like a rather unfriendly chat from one of the coaches.

Edgy MD · May 2, 2016

Big news out of Bingtown is that an injury to Jeff McNeil has opened the way for Phil Evans to join the club.

Good news too as, despite the fact that he hadn't been hitting in St. Lucie, he was getting totally lost in the shadow of a torrid start from Amed Rosario.

B-Mets had a great week, with their loss yesterday ending a six-game winning streak. Robert Gsellman seemingly has little left to prove at this level, following up his stellar 2015 with a 1.82 ERA so far in five starts. And he's striking out a few more batters, too.

Wait, so they wound up keeping the name 'Mets'?

OE: I should read more, post less. New name to be revealed in October.

Edgy MD · May 5, 2016

Not worth a full update, but Josh Edgin has jumped from St. Lucie to Las Vegas on his rehab road back from Tommy John surgery.

Meanwhile, Jake Kuebler isn't sure if he's in Heaven or Iowa, signing in April for the Sioux City Explorers. Team opens in two weeks against the Sioux Falls canaries, in the battle royale to see who is the real heir to the legacy of the Sioux.

Edgy MD · May 11, 2016

It's been a tough week for the Binghamton Bumblebees. Almost nobody is hitting and the pitching staff has a bad case of the bases-on-balls.

The very Metly-named Casey Delgado had gotten off to a great start in St. Lucie, and had sure been looking like a heckuvan indy league reclamation project, but when he was bumped up to Bingo to replace and injured Rainy Lara, he got hit hard in his first start. Oh, well, keep an eye on him anyway.

Jeff McNeil had gotten off to a hot start, and had been seemingly playing himself into prospect status, but he's been laid up with double (!!) hernia surgery, and is out until mid-season.

The Mets are only a game below .500 at 14-15, and I don't know how they do it, but that still places them in a seven-game hole behind the Rubber Ducks of Akron, running away with the Western Division of the Eastern League.

So ghey! I do like the name Rocking Horses tho, I hope that one wins.

Binghamton Bullheads
Vote A local inhabitant of the Susquehanna River, a Bullhead is a bullhead catfish. The bullhead displays a tough and resilient character such as the Binghamton community.

Binghamton Gobblers
Vote A symbol of the rich hunting culture of the area, the "Binghamton Gobblers" honors the outdoorsman lifestyle and turkeys who call Binghamton home.

Binghamton Rocking Horses
Vote The "Binghamton Rocking Horses" celebrates the Triple Cities' rich history as the "Carousel Capital of the World."

Binghamton Rumble Ponies
Vote A tribute to the Triple Cities' carousel heritage, the "Binghamton Rumble Ponies" is a herd of fierce horses that no carousel center pole can contain.

Binghamton Stud Muffins
Vote While tipping a cap to the players on the field, the "Stud Muffins" celebrates the collection of carousel horses belonging to Binghamtonians.

Binghamton Timber Jockeys
Vote Combining the fun of Minor League Baseball with the rich carousel history of the Triple Cities, the "Binghamton Timber Jockeys" pays homage to everyone that rides the carousels.

Frayed Knot · May 18, 2016

So, if I have this straight, the area around Binghamton, NY has a rich history in carousel rides.

Edgy MD · May 18, 2016

Well, it has a history. They have, like, eight carousels. But only one or two of them can truly be called classics. And even those, while having the imprint of the master carver shops*, aren't masterpieces. If they truly want to honor carousel horses, a better name for the team would be the Painted Ponies.

I tend to question the authenticity of that Rubin account. Anybody have a link?

_________________

*There were three master carving shops whose works were broadly distributed in the US during the golden age of carousels: Dentzel, Herschell, and Philadelphia Toboggan Company. There were also lesser masters (like Illioans) whose work never caught on and you can barely assemble enough surviving horses for a single carousel.

seawolf17 · May 18, 2016

All of those names are stupid.

Edgy MD · May 18, 2016

Which is part of why I'm dubious.

It's a reality, though, that historically, teams like to get fake community buy-in, allowing the fans to vote for a new name, but securing the outcome of the vote by giving them a ballot full of five stupid names plus the one the owners really want.

May 18, 2016

What, no Binghamton Wooden Chain-smoking OTB Degenerates? Binghamton Guys Who Check The Ground For Discarded Winning Carousel Tickets?

Oh, they're real, and they're... um... spectacular. In a sense.

Benjamin Grimm · May 18, 2016

Why all these veiled references to carousels? They should just call themselves the Binghamton Merry-Go-Rounds.

Of those, I'd vote for Bullheads. They're all awful, but that's the least awful.

I only recently learned that Binghamton is known for a particular kind of sandwich. I'd have considered naming the team after the sandwich: The Binghamton Spiedies.

May 18, 2016

Great minds, bud.

Binghamton Speedies? (Sandwich reference!)

Also, it doubles as a horsey thing, potentially, right?
(Also with you on Bullheads.)

Yeah, sorry. This statement was included in the ESPN "News Feed" on their main page and didn't link to an article.

[fimg=500]http://i.imgur.com/cTZrX1n.png[/fimg]

If you check out the Mets clubhouse page on ESPN and scroll down, you can see the blurb from Rubin again on that feed.

Frayed Knot · May 18, 2016

I think they should honor Bingo-area native Johnny Hart and name themselves the BC's, or the Wizards of Id
Each player could be a different character and such, although, admittedly, it might be tough to get one of the macho athletes to be either 'Cute Chick' or 'Fat Broad'

Edgy MD · May 18, 2016

I think those are both more or less fine ideas. The Binghamton Cavemen. The Binghamton Cartoonists.

Binghamton has been trying to brand itself as Carousel Town for decades. My wife is one of the rare birds who would actually get off the parkway to visit a carousel, and we found them mostly to be county fair quality — built to be packed up and moved, rather than fixtures. The Nunley's carousel was better than all or most of them.

Frayed Knot · May 18, 2016

Other Binghamton area celebrities: Rod Serling, and there's no limit on the things you could do with that theme.
