See, two-run single there. They could have pinch-run Turner for Murphy or Satin, but they just don't care about re-familiarizing him with the plate.

That's nine runs. None scored by Turner.

Eric Young wasn't born. He was created in a government lab at the Ministry of Hustle.

Greg digs it. JM&tHA also joined the Jim Carroll Band as performers in Tuff Turf.

The Nats destroyed the Mets' hopes and now the Mets are destroying the Nats' hopes. And eye for an eye is sad!

Doodoo wants to playplay.

I imagine Lagares got moved for a reason. Those gruesome fielding percentages (.942, .911, .938 his first three seasons) I'm looking at right now might have something to do with that. Sorta stuff that would embarrass Valdespin. (I'm kidding. Nothing embarrasses Valdespin.)

I'm not really lobbying for Dykstra to get a McCallup, so much as I am disappointed that these other two guys are ahead of him on line, but I guess the team wants piles of pitching, and I understand why they would have greater utility in that regard.

I'm familiar with their stati. And yes, I know that a guy has to be on the 40-man roster to be in the big leagues.

That bmfc-starring reality show clip is cash money. Go, bmfc!

Vic Black and the Heart Attack expected to join the Mets Sunday as rosters expand. The roster is expected to otherwise remain unexpanded for the time being while Binghamton and Vegas (who haven't quite clinched) head to the playoffs. Florida State League PotY Dustin Lawley takes Matt den Dekker's slot with Vegas. Adam Rubin lists Binghamtonians Jeff Walters and Darin Gorski as fringe promotion candidates. As a supporter of Allan Dykstra, this is more than somewhat unsettling, and I will not sleep well tonight.

Columnists have beaten the "Mets Must Spend NOW!!!!" drum every season since like 1990. There's a company line.

It's both a little early (it's been three games) and a little late (the regular season is over like tomorrow) to cry out that somebody's rotting.

Tejada's hitting .295 / .347 / .379 // .725. Humor me and call the guy up.

My dad just threw my brothers and me in the ocean to teach me to swim. He also never gave shit if I buckled my seatbelt. Secondhand smoke? He sucked long drags and then exhaled as he kissed us goodnight. Look at me. I'm fine. Really, you want to argue that pitchers are better off today or pitchers were better off in the sixties, I'm all ears. But bring some data, because "It worked for me!" isn't too convincing.

Oh the drama. "We're close" is the "company line" for pretty much every team in the league.

Wow. Niesie.

In my mind, he was still active, fourteen years after his retirement.

Dilson goes 2-3 with a hit-by-pitch, two runs, and the go-ahead RBI in his debut with Savannah. That's half as many runs as Justin Turner.

Alex Pantsload gets battered for eight runs as the Lucies (69-60) are eliminated from post-season contention.

Allan Dykstra and closer Jeff Walters of Binghamton are awarded with Eastern League full-season All Star status. I'd be surprised if Dykstra doesn't get a PotY honor as well.

Maybe, but the team had plenty of players of comparable age. So indeed, did the Clearwater Threshers, for comparison. Obviously, candidates for any minor league's Player of the Year are going to be players who stay back and achieve a full season's worth of productivity while others gain promotions. That can be (a) because they're not playing quite that well, and consistently play well enough to compile stats toward a good year while others play just a little better and move ahead, or ( their team thinks their performances have been fool's gold, and aren't yet believers that it can translate to a higher league, or © the team considers themselves well set at the player's position in the leagues ahead of the player's league. So maybe Lawley's nothing more than a non-prospect beating up on the little kids on his block, but if so, he's the first Mets non-prospect ever to win the Florida State League Player of the Year. I wouldn't throw that away.

Promoted to AAA for his efforts.
