    Matz. Straily. The halfway point beckons with possibility of maybe not losing.

I was wondering why he continued to sit in the dugout instead of having the leg looked at by the trainer...not that Mets trainers provide much in the way of healing.

    Flores up to 36 Citi Field regular-season home runs by a Met, within two of Curtis Granderson for third place. Conforto up to 30, tying Ike Davis for fifth place. Cabrera up to 28, tying Cespedes for seventh place. Plawecki has made it a five-way tie for 31st with five (alongside Frazier, Turner, Barajas and Sheffield). And Bautista is on the board with two.

    Marlins bringing up their No. 2 prospect, Sandy Alcantra, to take the start.

    The Las Vegas 51s' lone All-Star.

    I remember reading a magazine article about the Mets GM insisting there would soon be organizational uniformity when it came to executing fundamentals throughout the organization. The magazine was Inside Sports, the GM was Frank Cashen and the year was 1981. I've yet to see it happen.

    Rick Anderson bumped from bullpen to pitching coach for Tigers, with Chris Bosio dismissed over "insensitive comments".

    Howie clearly shaken by the news tonight.

    In the June 25 voting (and all subsequent appearances unless he changes positions), Tyler Bashor should be presented as a pitcher.

    This bullpen carousel is kinda making me a madman. The bullpen carousel and how its spun in the past month and change: 5/27 Flexen optioned; Conlon recalled 5/28 Ramos to DL; Robles activated 5/28 G. Bautista added as 26th man 5/29 Syndergaard to DL; Baumann recalled (5/30) 5/29 Conlon optioned (G. Bautista remains) 5/30 Rhame optioned; Peterson promoted 5/30 Evans optioned; Copeland promoted 6/1 Copeland DFA’d; Lobaton recalled 6/5 G. Bautista optioned; Frazier activated 6/5 Baumann DFA’d; Swarzak activated 6/7 Familia to DL; Rhame recalled 6/14 Peterson optioned; Beck acquired 6/17 Rhame optioned; Familia activated 6/19 Bruce to DL; Peterson recalled 6/20 Robles optioned; Flexen recalled 6/22 Sewald optioned; Smith promoted 6/22 Flexen optioned; Kaczmarski promoted 6/24 Vargas to DL; Flexen recalled 6/25 Flexen optioned; Bashlor promoted 6/26 Guillorme optioned; Bautista recalled 6/29 Bautista optioned; Oswalt recalled

    Flexen put on another flight to make room for Bashlor.

    Asdrubal has dropped out of the top five at second base. No Met has ascended into the leadership ranks at any NL position.
  18. G-Fafif
    Reliever Tyler Bashlor reportedly on his way for tonight's game. Corresponding move: a heightening sense of resignation.

    Donald Hall, 89, former poet laureate of the United States -- and baseball author. Collaborated with Dock Ellis on In the Country of Baseball, produced a fine collection of essays, Fathers Playing Catch with Sons.

    We seem to have a champion.

    I'm thinking less in the stretch him out and see what's up sense and more in the oh crap, we need a starter RIGHT NOW sense. Jeff Innis had one of those starts in 1987 when everybody was dropping like flies around Luis Castillo's glove. Gave Davey four serviceable innings then never started again. Jerry Manuel gave young Bobby Parnell a Tug-like spin in August 2009. Out pitched Barry Zito, stayed in the rotation for a few turns. Roger McDowell and Jesse Orosco also were tried as starters more than once in their rookie years until length got the best of them. Less remembered than his 1973 cure was Tug did some more starting in 1974. His last win as a Met came in a CG ShO of the Braves, last time the Mets faced Henry Aaron.

    May none of us be sitting in the depressed Mets fan's chair when this thing is over.

    Jerry Blevins takes the ball today -- in the top of the first with nobody out and nobody on and nobody having yet batted. In case you said the hell with it last night, Vargas is on the DL and apparently they're not into starting Chris Flexen, who they called up anyway. Last instance of anything like this I can recall was in the first series of 2004 when Scott Erickson came up lame in warmups and Dan Wheeler started (Mets were shelled). Jeurys Familia got a late-season start as a callup in 2012, but it wasn't clear that he was a career reliever yet.

    Deserves a proper if belated "Memories" sendoff. Had a little more left than I suspected, if not a lot. Helped sweep the Nationals a series when that rivalry was still viable. Dug balls out of the dirt with the best of them. Class act. Wasn't designed to last at this stage of his accomplished career.
