I'm liking Tyrone Taylor more than I thought I would.

Sean Hjelle's nickname should be "Grape"

I did too. I suppose he still might be, if Bader continues to play well for a while longer.

Hmmm... According to Baseball Reference, Tyler Fitzgerald is the son of a different Mike Fitzgerald, a guy whose career consisted of 13 games for the 1988 Cardinals.

When I hear "Manaea" I still think "Minaya". And Keith tells us that Tyler Fitzgerald of the Giants is the son of his former Mets teammate Mike Fitzgerald.

Not much more than a half hour before game time, and this is what MLB.com is showing: Nimmo LF Marte, S DH Lindor SS Alonso 1B Baty 3B Taylor, T RF McNeil 2B Bader CF Nido C

He's like our own E.F. Hutton.

Is that Steve Garvey in the far left corner of the table?

Return-to-play timeline.

I think his name was Walker Lockett. Or Walter Wallet. Or something like that.

Masato Yoshii. There are still 57 more? I can't imagine we'll get them all without cheating.

Daisuke Matsuzaka.

Well, I, for one, would like to see fewer players bouncing between organizations multiple times during the course of a month, let alone a season. It would be nicer for the players, but I'm thinking as a fan. I'd like to be able to have my Mets be Mets, not just day workers.

Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

This is really getting crazy. Maybe there needs to be a change to the roster rules so that non-elite relievers stop being so fungible. My first thought was to expand the 40-man roster to a 45-man roster, but that would probably just lead to more prospects being protected than middle relievers. I suppose you could have those extra five spots be reserved for players who have big-league experience. I'm sure there would still be loopholes to exploit, but I really think a change is in order. I wonder if it will be an issue in the next CBA?

Well no, but things are looking more promising than they did about three weeks ago.

For now they're saying six to eight weeks, but that sounds pretty optimistic.
