Terry will say that it's for Nieuwenhuis' own good because he will get "some at bats." It's the same line he used for den Deker. It doesn't answer why C. Young is still on the roster.

We can disagree but to me, this was a clever move by the Twins GM.

The Mets are averse to having players in the midst of disastrous seasons (see C. Young)? I was thinking that it worked out nicely for the Twins to pick him up for less than two months and then trade him for a prospect.

They didn't sign him until the 2nd week of June (he was one of those draft/compensation cases). Seattle importing a DH and the Yanx continually looking for pitching are added reminders of just how poorly the seemingly huge (at the time) deal of Michael Pineda for Jesus Montero has turned out for both sides. Lots of injuries, suspensions, and just plain suck! The Twins got a AAA pitcher for less than two months of Morales' salary. Seems like good management to me... so why didn't Sandy do it? He didn't have room on the bench for Morales? He'd have to sit Lucas or keep Campbell in AAA?

I agree with you as does Keith Olbermann: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUqLq6EJwBA

Good for d'A. That's the same team which danced at Shea (and on the Mets grave) so screw them.

Nice job with "Fast Times" reference.

Yadier Molina goes on the DL and should be out for between 2 and 3 months. I'm soooo sorry. What a shame. Too bad the Mets don't play STL during that time so we don't have to hear Gary fawn all over him.

Two home runs means... What a deal! BRING THIS COUPON TO DUANE READE OR WALGREEN'S AND GET $1 OFF ANY NICE! SNACK ITEM $2.99 OR GREATER. COUPON VALID FOR 24 HOURS AFTER THE END OF THE 2 HOMER GAME.

Gary plays the part of the homer by tracing the whole inning to Edgin. First question, why take out Dice-K, then why take out Black?

What an idiot. He could have let Matzusaka start the inning--who cares how much he throws?--but no, he made a move. Then three more moves. Does Terry get a commission for every pitching change?

3 pitchers in one inning. I wish that someone would tie Terry's little legs to the bench so he couldn't make these pitching changes. Let Black get 3 outs. Once again, he's burned through the bullpen instead of showing confidence in his players.

Good stuff Edgy. Thank you.

The MFYs obtain Brandon McCarthy from Arizona for Nuno.

I agree with smg58 and would go "all in" on Castro. And the sooner the better so we can have something to watch as the Mets plod through the summer. John Harper agrees but he and his anonymous sources think that it will take two young pitchers: http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/mets/harper-mets-run-cubs-castro-article-1.1856497

Let me rephrase so as not to slight the abilities of Ruben Tejada... if you want Mets to pursue Starlin Castro, what do you think it would take to obtain him in a trade? Noah S. too much?

Castro is far from perfect but the Mets don't have a major league SS so I say Viva Castro!

Eric Campbell making a claim to be the Mets full-time DH!

Not that I expect Sandy to do anything but theoretically, what would it take to get Starlin Castro?

What the hell was that? 2 on after walks, your alleged catcher of the future at bat, merely Tejada on deck, and dopey Terry bunts. Idiot.
