Gonna miss the first few innings of this one
off to attend a focus group on beanies. We get free dinner and Adidas swag. I have failed to see the downside at this point.
Anyway, with expectations reasonably dampened, Let’s Go Mets!

is "beanies" slang for something among today's youth?
If not, tell them to bring back the propeller. There’s really no downside to wearing a propeller on your hat.

Mets position players who have been completely injury free this year:
Wright
Santos
Murphy
Tatis
Castillo (wow)
Reed (only outfielder?)

In other, more awesomer news
Ike Davis to AA Binghamton! This is actually very interesting. Either Omar thinks he can help the Mets this year, or maybe he’s trying to show him off for some other teams? Or maybe he was just ready for the next level.
With all this crazy roster movement (i.e. Wily Mo and Javier Valentin being released, the callups and sendowns and DFA’s, etc.), I think you can expect a trade within the next week. I’m smelling DeRosa.

he’s expecting junk in the dirt with 2 out and nobody on. pitch to him. he won’t expect seeing strikes on 0-0, 0-1, or 0-2.

Ollie being Ollie in St Lucie
Through 2 he’s given up 5 runs, 1 earned. He threw a wild pitch in the first that led to a run, and he gave up 4 unearned runs in the second (the kind that aren’t really unearned because Perez gave up like 4 hits after the error).

I considered a full fan post about this but this is probably more appropriate. Anyway, I think they put way too much milk and sugar in their iced coffees.

Also, the large is very, very large and will give you major problems if you drink the whole thing. Less is more, Dunkin Donuts.
