I’m off to the beach for the weekend.  In my experience, sand and computers don’t mix all that well.  I’ll be back either late Sunday or Monday night.
Lets go Mets.
You can drop comments for any of this weekend’s action here.  Have fun.

New Orleans (AAA - International League)
@ Memphis Red Birds 8, New Orleans Zephyrs 6

Ruddy Lugo (5-7, 5.33) gave up six runs in the bottom of the first, and, despite a late rally, the Zephyrs couldn’t recover.
Valentino Pascucci (.301/.421/.601, pictured) was 2-4 with a solo homer late that brought New Orleans [...]

Binghamton (AA - Eastern League)
@ Binghamton Mets 4, Altoona Curve 3

CF Eric Reed (pictured) was 2-4, and joined Jose Reyes as one of four players in Binghamton Mets history to steal home. With Mike Carp at first and Reed at third, on a 3-1 count, Carp took off for second. Despite a [...]

Brooklyn (SSA – New York Penn League)
@ Brooklyn Cyclones 4, Aberdeen Ironbirds 2

Three big story lines from Brooklyn Thursday.
· Supplemental first rounder Brad Holt (pictured) threw five no-hit innings, walking one and striking out six. He told MiLB.com he did it with, “a little bit of everything. Fastballs down, in and out, [...]

Kingsport (R – Appalachian League)
@ Kingsport Mets 8, Pulaski Mariners 3

Ten games into his career, SS Wilmer Flores needs a nickname. All he did Wednesday was go 4-5 with a triple and three RBI to push his batting average to an even .400 (18 H/45 AB). 3B Stephen Welch was 3-5 with a double, [...]

GCL Mets (R – Gulf Coast League)
@ GCL Mets 5, GCL Cardinals 4 (5 innings)

Rain cut this one in half to five innings, but before it got too wet, Fernando Martinez (age 19) was 2-3 with a double and a run scored while RF Ruben Martinez (age 21) was 2-3 with a [...]

Usually, I avoid bs stories, but I wanted to run through this one involving first round pick Ike Davis. Justin Rodriguez at his blog at the Times Herald-Record in the Hudson Valley took Davis and his Cyclones teammates to task Wednesday for their treatment of a female reporter in the locker room. He [...]

Fernando Martinez will represent the Mets on the International side in this year’s All-Star Futures Game, played Sunday, July 13th at 12:30 PM on ESPN2.

Binghamton (AA - Eastern League)
@ Binghamton Mets 5, Altoona Curve 2

The B-Mets did all of their damage in the bottom of the first in support of Bobby Parnell (pictured). Parnell (7-4, 4.14) was strong over seven innings, tying a season high. He yielded just a run on five hits. He struck out six [...]
