And maybe the first time two 40-somethings with last names of body parts have started against each other. Later

Verrett had pitched 7 2/3 innings on Sunday, so it wouldn't have made sense to bring up if they had needed him Monday or Tuesday. Later

The 2015 Rico Thread: Mets in Retirement
MFS62 replied to stevejrogers's topic in New York Mets Talk
Coming soon, to a retirement ceremony near you - Marco Scutaro: http://www.csnbayarea.com/giants/giants-re-sign-scutaro-so-he-can-retire-sf?p=ya5nbcs&ocid=yahoo Later -
Morris to AA, is Logan Verrett next? http://fantasynews.cbssports.com/fantasybaseball/update/25217860/mets-rp-akeel-morris-optioned-to-double-a-on-wednesday?FTAG=YHF7e3228e Later

He and Niese are still on the same pitching schedule. Just sayin'. Later
-
He was a delegator? (as per the linked article) I can't think of a better person for him to have delegated to than Frank Cashen. RIP, Nelson. Later

I long for the good old days, when a hack was a taxicab. Later

A five out save from Parnell? Who woulda' thunk it? Great game. Later
-
Where's "World Series Champions"? You gotta' believe. Later

Morris' best pitch is the changeup. After seeing Harvey's fast stuff, the change could be very effective against the Jays. But I'd be happy with a complete game from Harvey, too. Later

Welcome to the family, kid. http://wheatoncollege.edu/quarterly/2015/03/29/outstanding-in-his-field/ He went right to High A ball, and pitched seven scoreless innings last night in his professional debut. Later

But man, when you have a young ESL player, hyperventilating and deliriously happy, and you get only three questions, stop asking philosophical questions about polysyllabic abstractions like "resiliency." He has to translate into Spanish, come up with an answer and translate back, and after three beats the moment is lost, so he's going to spit out some banality. Stick to baseball questions � pitching, hitting, running � because that's an everyday language for all players. >Wilmer, how good did that feel? >What pitch did you get? >Did you ever see Lucas run so fast? And it if you ask a question that contains one of those polysyllabic words, if the player responds with a blank stare (while he's trying to figure out what he was just asked), don't repeat the question using the same word. It happens all the time, and it shows the asker doesn't understand what's happening. Later

Jose Bautista was a Met for about 12 nanoseconds. He was acquired for Justin Huber, then same-day traded for Kris Benson and Jeff Keppinger. (there may have been other players involved) In his career against the Mets, he has been a .218 hitter. Later
-
And for all you kiddies out there, June 15 used to be the trading deadline. All trades after that required that the players go through waivers before they could be traded. Later
-
With a series with the good hitting Jays coming up, and the having used up lots of relievers in the last two games, the extra arm can't hurt. I was waiting for the Mets to promote him, just didn't think they'd promote him this far this fast. Later

Cats are smart enough to not step on quicksand and have no sympathy for humans who do. Later

I was wondering when they were going to promote Morris, but I didn't think he'd jump that far. As for Noah in the bullpen, that's the kind of move when you have a pitcher with one or two excellent/ good pitches, but needs to work on a third to be a starter who can go long into games. I have no heartburn if that's what they're going to do. It shows they think he has major league stuff and can contribute at the major league level while he develops. Rule #5.* Later * = Cooby knows what this means.

Libros! Had 'em all the way. Good win. Later

Was he offered back to the Mets (like a returned Rule V Draft player) or did he re-sign with the Mets as a free agent? Later
-
Well, there's this veteran third baseman that the MFYs don't seem to appreciate. Do you think ..... ? Nahhhh. Couldn't happen. But it sure would be fun. Later

So, which Met do you want to know something about? Later
