WOW! Eric Niesen gets victimized by the Mad Bum show in every which way. Not only did Mad Bum outduel him on the mound with 7 great innings of ball, but he also took him deep for part of a 5 run 5th inning hitting his first career homerun and grand slam. Ruben Tejada was the only one to get to Mad Bum with a solo homerun. Ike Davis gathered a hit off the tough lefty which is an encouraging sign.

Another nice game since returning from the DL for Reese Havens. Havens had the only multi hit game including his 9th homerun of the year in just 204 at-bats. Bad night on the basepaths with Brahiam Maldonado and Kirk Nieuwenhuis getting caught stealing. Decent night pitching for Scott Shaw just a tad too many walks, but solid night overall.

Great night for Chris Schwinden. By far Schwinden’s best night with the K’s striking out 10 Power on hte night and yeilding no walks and only 5 hits. The rest of the pitchers outside of Tim Smith were spotless. Kai Gronauer was the offensive star with a homerun and 3 RBIs. Wilmer Flores also pitched in an RBI.

Much better job for the offense with just Robbie Shields (0-4, K) and Justin Garber (0-0 3BB RBI, 2 R) were the only batters who did not record a hit, but has you can see Garber had a nice game nontheless.

Minor League Ball – Hit and Run, June 29th, 2009
**Ike Davis Update: Davis found his power stroke in May at St. Lucie, bringing his numbers there up to .288/.376/.486, very nice numbers for the Florida State League. Promoted to Double-A last week, he’s hitting .400/.538/.550 through six games at Binghamton. He’s 8-for-20 with three doubles, five strikeouts, and six walks so far. The fact that he’s maintained the walk rate at the higher level is a good sign. He will likely need some consolidation time at this level and if I were the Mets I wouldn’t consider a promotion to Triple-A until August at the earliest, if he’s hitting well. Nevertheless, he’s exceeded the expectations I had for him in the book and has calmed concerns about his bat.
NY Post – What the Mets Should Do
I think one really dumb thing that is getting repeated over and over again is that the Mets shouldn’t make any moves because they have so much wrong with them that no one move would help. If your house is flooded, you start one room at a time to clean it up, though all the other rooms remain flooded when you are working on that first one. If the Mets truly believe that they are going to get back major pieces from injury starting in about 1-2 weeks with Oliver Perez, Jose Reyes, Carlos Beltran and others, then they[...]
Mets Merized ed Online - Is the Mets Organization Falling Apart?
It seems to me that the Mets are in a lot of trouble. I’m not talking about the fact that the Mets are now in 3rd place and are now under .500. I’m talking about the 9 baseball players that are currently on the disabled list or that their salaries equal almost 70 million dollars. The organization itself seems to be in disarray. The organization from top to bottom seem to be throwing each other under the bus to preserve themselves. Last winter we all know that Manny Ramirez was a free agent. Before it was revealed that Manny used performance enhancing drugs there was a lot of people who wanted Manny to be part of the Mets. Omar Minaya we all know had been trying to get Manny to become a member of this team since he became the general manager.[...]
Long Island Met Fan – Below .500 Oh Joy
Now we can spend the day saying , oh if we win we are back to .500. Does it matter. I mean we have Argenis Reyes batting lead off. We have Fernando Tatis playing second in a double switch. Brian Stokes giving up a grand slam to the guy who just gave us life the inning before. Then of course David Wright getting another meaning less hit in the 9th inning to drive in a run. Now for the last week everyone is like the Mets need to make a trade. Of course though with every loss the price goes up.
Mets Fan Forever – What More Can I Say?
I am officially running out of things to write about the Mets. What can I add that hasn’t been already mentioned nationwide by people who are now treating our team as a laughing stock. The fact that they are only 3 games out is amazing in itself to me. I just hope that we can hold it together until Delgado, Beltran and Reyes come back but I have my doubts.
