@ Binghamton Mets 4, Erie Seawolves 0

On a day when the vast majority of Americans didn’t work, the B-Mets gathered to discuss their approach to their job.  A renewed commitment to fun, an Ike Davis three run homer, and 6.2 scoreless innings from Dylan Owen produced a 4-0 win over the Erie [...]

New Hampshire Fisher Cats 10, @ Binghamton Mets 3
Thursday, the B-Mets offense scored one run on 10 hits.  Friday, it scored three runs on seven hits, all in the ninth inning.  The larger issue Friday was that the B-Mets trailed from the second batter of the game.
LHP Michael Antonini, in his first [...]

Man, am I picking the right week to go see some B-Mets baseball.
C Josh Thole hits the DL with a dislocated thumb so he’ll miss at least the next week.
That’s better than RHP Ryan Coultas, who will miss the entire rest of the season to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder.  Coultas gave Brian [...]

AA: New Hampshire FisherCats 3, @ Binghamton Mets 2
Josh Thole (pictured) left the game in the third inning after committing a passed ball having trouble receiving a pitch from Eric Niesen.  The word out of Binghamton is that it’s just a dislocation, although he’ll have X-Rays today.   The final score camoflages how wild Niesen (0-4, [...]

Ugh.  “Most ball games are lost, not won.” Casey Stengel

AAA
Lance Broadway (1-5, 6.80) gave up seven runs on eight hits in five innings in the Bisons 7-3 loss to Charlotte.  It’s not too early to wonder exactly what the Mets were thinking at the time of that trade.  Adam Bostick tossed two more scoreless innings [...]

AA
Brad Holt pitched to six batters in his return from a sprained ankle.  His night: single (by rehabbing Asdrubal Cabrera), walk, flyout, walk, 2 RBI single, 3 run HR, showers.  The good news from the B-Mets 8-3 loss to the Aeros: 1B Ike Davis continues to hit.  He was 2-4 with two doubles and is [...]

CC Sabathia >> Mike Pelfrey. Who knew?
It’s really simple with the current Mets lineup, the team just can’t give away outs as they did in the second inning.
AAA
Nelson Figueroa (3-4, 2.61) just kept rolling, giving up just one run over six innings in the Bisons 7-5 win over Gwinnett.   Arturo Lopez couldn’t finish the ninth, [...]
