Plus, Joe Nathan.

On another note, when tracing links between generations, it'll someday be very interesting that Dilson Herrera once played with Bobby Abreu. He and Bartolo are Baseball Oracle gold. Babe Ruth played with Lyn Lary for the 1931 New York Yankees Lyn Lary played with Bob Feller for the 1937 Cleveland Indians Bob Feller played with Minnie Minoso for the 1951 Cleveland Indians Minnie Minoso played with Harold Baines for the 1980 Chicago White Sox Harold Baines played with Bartolo Colon for the 1999 Cleveland Indians Bartolo Colon played with Dilson Herrera for the 2014 New York Mets Babe Ruth played with Ben Chapman for the 1930 New York Yankees Ben Chapman played with Early Wynn for the 1941 Washington Senators Early Wynn played with Tommy John for the 1963 Cleveland Indians Tommy John played with Doug Drabek for the 1986 New York Yankees Doug Drabek played with Bobby Abreu for the 1996 Houston Astros Bobby Abreu played with Dilson Herrera for the 2014 New York Mets

I always wonder where this stuff comes from, and why he'd have any particular loyalty to the Mets of all the teams he's played for just because it's the last. They mentioned yesterday on the broadcast that Abreu was a rookie under Terry Collins too in Houston. He might have some loyalty there.

Nick Tropeano makes his NYC debut tomorrow afternoon. Wish I could be there!

Actually, it would be fun if the Mets held a year-long contest and the winner got to sign a one-day contract and get placed on the 40 for the last game of the year. Maybe they get an AB, maybe not; but it'd be fun.

I mean, who cares if he's home watching his home decorating shows at this point and hasn't faced live pitching in weeks, everybody carries three or more catchers in September, and it allows them not to get burned by late-inning maneuvering. But here's a better idea and they can do it without calling anybody up: Activate Dave Racianello. BRING ME THE HEAD OF JOE HIETPAS!

Phil Hughes (@Twins) will NOT come back out for 9th inning. He is at 209 2/3 IP & gets a $500k bonus if he reaches 210 IP in 2014 OUCH.

I just clicked on the hashtag and read through some of the tweets. They were about 100% disparaging. There were three positive tweets, however, and upon further review, I noticed that they were all from the same person. And there was this, too: Hey. We know both of those guys.

Ooh, I'm going to submit my resume, get the job, and then DESTROY THEM. "Are there more Uptons out there? We need to sign them. And let's get rid of these Kimbrel and Heyward characters."

Darren sold out to the man a little while back, which is why he doesn't do anything blatantly offensive any more (like my old favorite, the "at least i'm not an a-hole" shirt). But it's great for him, because it looks like they give him largely free rein, and he can use official logos now.

Wonder if we could convince Darren Meenan to make a private batch for us. (Or, better, to produce them en masse and give Z a cut.)
