Benjamin Grimm

Done!

For the record, I did not watch either. I've been spending too many hours lately watching the Mets lose and I needed a break.

If you have any catching up to do, please try to do it this week. On Sunday morning, April 30, voting will close for all games played through April 15.

I think, for my own sanity, I may consider ignoring this game tomorrow. We'll see...

Good to see deGrom will be making the start. And Cabrera too.

I reported this to Stockholm, and their response was, "Kontakta oss igen när du kan tala svenska, du dyrbara amerikanska ödla."

Does José lead the league in one-pitch at bats? Is there any way to look that up?

Madison Bumgarner banged up in a dirt bike accident. Will miss two months.

GAMES Jose Reyes has now played more games as a Met than Mookie Wilson has. He's looking like less of a sure thing to pass Howard Johnson. 1. Ed Kranepool 1853 2. David Wright 1583 3.

Since you're clearly more connected than most (or all) of us here, do you mind if I give you an assignment? We need to find out, definitively, how to pronounce "Jeurys". It's absurd that he's been a star for the Mets for several years now, and we don't know how to say his name! Gary Cohen says "Jay-or-reese". Howie Rose says "Jairis" (First syllable rhymes with "chair", second syllable rhymes with "hiss".) I recently heard Sandy Alderson refer to him as "Joris" (rhymes with "Boris"). And I recall Daniel Murphy referring to him as "Yoris" (rhymes with Joris which rhymes with Boris.) My guess would be "Hey-oris", which rhymes with "Hey! Boris!"

Schaefer voting not yet available for last night's game because Baseball Reference thinks that today is still Thursday.

I didn't know Fresno had a AAA franchise. I think that's raisin country. If the team isn't called the Seavers then it should be called the Raisins.

So... Duda, Cespedes, and Flores are unavailable, so we'll have a two-man bench, both catchers? Position players are d'Arnaud, Plawecki, Rivera, Walker, Cabrera, Reyes, Granderson, Bruce, Conforto, and Lagares? I would think they pretty much have to make a roster move before the game starts. Take the guy who seems furthest away and put him on the 10-day.

Do we have a date on which Wright's assignment to the 60-day is effective? It could be back-dated to March, which would still make him eligible to return in May (if he's healthy, natch) but if it's effective yesterday then we definitely can't see him until late June, at the earliest.

I was hoping that the score would improve if I switched for a while to The Bob Newhart Show! It worked!

That's it! Time to change the channel!

Geez. Hate to see a double play grounder go to waste like that.

Does that hit put José on the Interstate?

We typically have a GET OFF THE INTERSTATE thread this time of year, but for Jose, we need a GET ON THE INTERSTATE thread.
