Thursday Applesauce

Arizona Fall League

Peoria Saguaros 8, Surprise Rafters 1

  • Shawn Bowman went 0-for-4, and nobody cared because he's not really a prospect.
  • Bobby Parnell started and struck out five in four scoreless, one-hit innings.
  • Tobi Stoner pitcher a scoreless inning of relief, allowing a hit and a walk and striking out one.
  • Eddie Kunz had another rough go of it, allowing a run on two hits and two walks in mop-up duty in the ninth.

Hawaiian Winter Baseball

North Shore Honu 7, Honolulu Sharks 0

  • Greg Veloz went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts.
  • Jordan Abruzzo went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts.
  • Roy Merritt pitched a perfect inning, striking out the side in the process.

At MetsGeek, Chris McCown continues his look at the Mets' bullpen situation with free agent relievers who might fly under the radar a bit.

MetsBlog.com has video of the Shea scoreboard being torn asunder. WCBS has some nice (read: sad) photo galleries of the Stadium's dismemberment.

I usually try to keep political stuff out of this space, but this writeup about a recent Zogby poll is really telling.

Zogby Rules!

I think playing baseball in Hawaii must be awesome. Maybe the wife would agree to a future plan of vacationing in Hawaii to see baseball instead of boring old Florida. That would be sweet.

Suprise Rafters

definitely weirdest name ever. is surprise a town? does rafters have a meaning other than things that help hold ceilings up?

When in doubt, check Wiki.

Surprise is a town in Arizona.
Rafters are ones who raft.

huh

sounds like something that would happen to a fraternity pledge… like, you’re kidnapped, blindfolded, put into a van, and then SURPRISE! you’re on a raft in the delaware river.

hey, it’s better than being told to steal golf balls from a driving range.

What about Bobby Howry?!

Howry and Juan Cruz are the two free-agent relievers the Mets should go after.
