It's not a lock that Rob Johnson will be the victim of Josh Thole's return. Johnson is a better hitter, Nickeas is a better fielder, neither is fantastic.
Everyone enjoy the report by Guys! on Yadier Molina? He won't be playing against the Mets until Friday but Guys! chose to highlight the splendor of Y. Molina as if we needed the reminder.
Peter Gammons wonders if Fred Wilpon will want the Mets to draft this left-handed pitcher who is Jewish and wears number 32 for Sandy Koufax: http://espn.go.com/blog/high-school/baseball/post/_/id/915/top-lefty-fried-happy-at-new-home

Nicely done FK, but I'm no Tim Kurkjian (this is what FK was referencing): http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-joy-of-winning/2012/05/24/gJQAnUjAoU_story.html I did see George Will once at an indoor playground and Krauthammer scooted by me after a Mets win last season.

Pulling for the Braves tonight.
Adam Rubin ?@AdamRubinESPN If you're looking for last consecutive complete-game shutouts, that would be same combo: Johan (8/12/10 vs. COL) & Dickey (8/13/10 vs. PHL)
Your Banner Day finalists: http://newyork.mets.mlb.com/nym/ticketing/banner_poll.jsp?partnerId=aw-5965328640306723812-1061 Hard to see as you cannot enlarge them. I voted for "A" and refused to voted for "C" as Terry Collins is the sunshine.
