    Keith's featured Brooklyn Burgers, the former official burgers of Citi Field. Strange that his stand wouldn't be mentioned if it was converting to Pat's meat. Culinary intrigue. The answers await a mere Wright days away.
  2. G-Fafif
    Whither Brooklyn Burgers? And what of Keith's Grill, where Brooklyn Burgers were featured?

    Profile of the Captain in the Observer. Not a discouraging word. But why would there be? Indeed, if anyone ought to hate David Wright, the Golden Boy of Queens, that man is Wigginton, who came up through the Mets organization and was the last person not named David to hold the team�s full-time third-base job. Like Wally Pipp, Lou Gehrig�s predecessor, Wigginton was forced out, traded at the deadline in �04. And yet Wigginton, who has spent the last decade pinballing around the league, does not hate David Wright, because no one hates David Wright. Today, Wigginton is in town with his latest team, the Miami Marlins, and when Wright sees his former teammate watching him from the sidelines, he unleashes one of his trademark high-wattage smiles and begins jogging toward him. Wigginton grins and greets the seven-time All-Star with a big bro-hug and a perfect nickname. �Sunshine!� he cries.

    Populist MFY bias ain't going anywhere soon.

    Couldn't find the link, but a couple of years ago, Sherman wrote a column in which Wright comes to him all full of wonder about how great MFYs were and asks Joel to explain what a team that cares about winning is like. He's not my preferred venue for David is a Pro paeans since from Sherman I consider just about everything thinly veiled Met-bashing. But yes, the Page Six shoutout should earn him a little something from Rupert in the company newsletter.

    Farnsworth officially back in whatever fold he was reported coming back to.
  7. G-Fafif
    Tim Rohan in the Times with a heartwarming profile of Seratelli...except for the part where he hasn't done anything to supplant Omar Quintanilla.
  8. G-Fafif
    All love to the Captain, but fuck Sherman. He won't be happy 'til Wright is playing third for the MFYs.

    From David Lennon in Newsday. "Certain situations I feel strongly about and I may approach them a little bit differently," Harvey told Newsday. "But I'm all about this team. I'm all about the New York Mets and I'm all about winning. I can preach that until I'm blue in the face." Bravo, Dark Knight!

    David Aardsma has drag his Aas(e) to the Cardinals on a minor league deal.

    And just like that, Frenchy is a Friar! (Minor league deal w/SDP.)
  13. G-Fafif
    It's funny because it's Pelfrey.
  14. G-Fafif
    Tribe released Frenchy, code for the Cleveland Indians did not retain the services of Jeff Francoeur.

    Henry Aaron worked so well for the Braves that they're signing Aaron Harang.

    78-84 Third Place No playoffs I'm fighting off my biennial impulse to believe the Marlins are legitimately on the rise. See the Mets as a 78-win team (as if that's a thing) and can see them falling behind Miami given Fishy pitching but also can't believe a 78-win team wouldn't finish third in this division unless Braves are fractured by injuries. Mets will seem less awful, which isn't an inconsiderable upgrade. Won't be enough offense to generate necessary wins but there will be tangible all-around improvement before it's all over. If nobody's lost to TJS by September, 2015 will look legitimately better.

    Ralph Kiner

    Pirates announce they will wear a 4 patch this season to honor Ralph.

    Mets released Chris Schwinden from minor league camp today. He last pitched in majors as Met in first two months 2012, then was waived and passed around various organizations like a bowl of white rice before winding up back at Buffalo five weeks later, it might be recalled. Pitched as a Bison and a 51 in '12 and '13. Do with that info what you will.
  19. G-Fafif
    Rubin reports such a deal is done. Farnsworth will be a Vegan of the Las variety.

    Maron fiancee Jenn Austin was slated to sing (and presumably sang) the national anthem at Tradition Field yesterday. St. Lucie's most talented couple this summer!

    [youtube:1g32r661]ZetIsAGJmqk[/youtube:1g32r661] At the time of Ralph's passing, full version wasn't up. But now it is.

    Cross-referencing the end of the Dan Wheeler era.
  23. G-Fafif
    Dan Wheeler always swore he'd step aside if another Wheeler rolled in to the big leagues.

    Turner actually got a hit. And ran hard to first.
