AAA – Buffalo Bisons

Final 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E Toledo 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 3 Buffalo 0 0 0 1 0 0 X 1 4 0 Recap | Box | W: Niese (5-6, 3.82); L: Lambert (4-7, 3.94) HR: None.

Jon Niese continued to pitch like a beast with a complete game 7inning shutout.  I am hoping to watch the video for this game maybe tomorrow to get a look on how Niese is looking to go along with the amazing stats he has been posting.

Game 2

Final 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E Toledo 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7 1 Buffalo 0 1 0 0 1 0 X 2 6 0 Recap | Box | W: Figueroa, N (6-4, 2.32); L: Drucker (7-3, 4.31) HR: None.

Two complete game shutouts. Talk about a rarity.

AA – Binghamton Mets

Final 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E Erie 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 2 9 1 Binghamton 1 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 X 4 11 0 Recap | Box | W: Holt (2-3, 5.02); L: Nickerson (7-7, 4.94); SV: Robertson, C (4) HR: ERI: De Leon (4). BIN: Duda (6), Davis, I (4).

This is why I voted for Brad Holt over Mejia in the side poll.  The dude is just dominant.  His K totals have been and outside of 3-4 starts in his short career he has been nearly unhittable.  Lucas Duda now has 2 homeruns and 5 RBI’s in the last two games. Ike Davis hit his 11th homerun of the season and 4th since joining the B-Mets.

HiA – St. Lucie Mets

Final 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E Daytona 2 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 7 2 St. Lucie 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 2 Recap | Box | W: Carpenter, C (2-1, 1.71); L: Moviel (0-3, 6.05) HR: None.

I am not going to start worrying about Scott Moviel he is still coming back from an injury and this is a decent start I won’t really worry too much until next season.  That will be the key year for him as a prospect.  KIrk Nieuwenhuis has really got to lower his average this .240 is not going to cut it for me.

LoA – Savannah Sand Gnats

Final 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E Hickory 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 2 2 3 Savannah 3 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 X 5 9 3 Recap | Box | W: Beaulac (6-5, 2.44); L: Boscan (4-5, 3.34); SV: Cruz, R (18) HR: None.

I love Eric Beaulac‘s dominance, but he has to learn to pitch deeper into ballgames.  I am not going to take anything away from his 1 hit, 7 strikeout performance, but the one thing he hasn’t done is pitch deep.  The teen sensations both had multi hit games with Jefry Marte getting a double.  A bit of a beanfest with 4 hit batters in the game (2 by Beaulac)

SSA – Brooklyn Cyclones

Final 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E Auburn 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 3 11 0 Brooklyn 0 0 0 2 3 2 0 4 X 11 11 0 Recap | Box W: Cohoon (5-1, 2.48) HR: BRK: Servidio 2 (6), Green, A (1), Vaughn (1).

Nice job by 2009 draft pic Sam Honeck to go 3-5 with 3 RBI’s.  He is one of the only hitters selected who has actually hit since joining the Metsies.  John Servidio smacked the ball around hitting 2 bombs and even getting hit by a pitch.  To go along with that he also drove in 3 runs.

Rk1 – Kingsport Mets

The offense broke out huge with everyone getting atleast one hit.  Most notable games were Darrell Ceciliani, Alonzo Harris, Kurt Steinhauer.  Undrafted free agent Bobby Gagg struck out the side in the 9th.

Bit shocked Holt actually gave up 3 runs with only 3 hits and 1 walk.  Still it has to be an encouraging start with a whopping 10ks in only 5 innings.  Ike Davis is just smashing the ball.

Game 2

Jacob Ruckle should be strictly a reliever no more starting for him.

Rough start for Moviel, but he gets a pass as he is still returning from an injury, but nice job by Frederick in mop up duty.  Welch, Veloz, and Maldonado had multi hit games.

LoA – Savannah Sand Gnats

Another rough outing for Allen the homeruns are a little concerning.  Josh Satin and Sean Ratliff (both who should be in St. Lucie) hit homeruns in today’s game.  Jefry Marte 32nd error of the season!!

SSA – Brooklyn Cyclones

John Servidio continues to be either really really good or really really bad and today he was really really good.  2009 draft picks Sam Honeck and Alex Gregory had multi hit games.

AAAHHH this sucks Angel Cuan has been terrible this year.  Just way too hittable. Not losing faith in him, but he isn’t exactly making me look good by saying he could rise quickly on prospect losts.

RK2 – GCL Mets

The one person right now, however, I would not want to be is Omar. Omar has a lot of pressure right now. He knows the fan base desperately wants the team to make the playoffs. He also knows that the farm system that he took over was beyond terrible and has been pillaged  already by him in the Santana and Putz trades. We have a few top prospects that will be sought after, the problem is that is basically ALL we have.

The Star Ledger - Jerry Manuel, Omar Minaya, Willie Randolph and a New York Mets fan club at 34,000 feet

34,000 FEET OVER LAKE ERIE — Does anyone fly to Milwaukee when the Mets aren’t playing there? I swear, about 75 percent of the people on this flight are Mets fans. There’s a cluster of about 15 of them sitting in front of me, all traveling together. Firefighters, from what I can tell. Big dudes. I wonder if they can swing a bat.  If they can, Jerry Manuel might just try to sneak them into the lineup Monday night at Miller Park, where the Mets will open a three-game series against the Brewers.

NY Post – Rough, Wild Night for K-Rod

The at-bat was just the third of Rivera’s career and he had been 0-for-2. The walk gave him the first RBI of his 15-year career. He previously struck out and flied out. Afterward, Rodriguez said the Rivera walk was a symptom of wildness he’s suffered in his last few appearances. “It’s been the last couple of outings,” Rodriguez said. “I haven’t been able to make pitches when I needed to. I’ve been a little wild out there. I just have to find a way to figure it out quick and make sure tomorrow to watch some tape and find out what I’m doing wrong and make sure tomorrow it won’t happen again.”

Mets Merized Online - Fantasy Focus: Nick Evans – The Second Time Around

With all of our stars sidelined aside from D Wright – it’s been an interesting year for many players in the organization that probably never figured to have an opportunity to play as much as they have in 2009.  So continuing our analysis of these role players that have suddenly become so crucial to our fate this season – let’s take a look at Nick Evans – who gets a second chance to prove he belongs in the majors as an important right handed bat in 2009.
