The Mets new closer, Eddie Kunz can stand proud and tall of his most recent title. Actually, it has only been by standing tall, that Kunz will have a chance to close for the Mets at all.
For at least the next few days, Kunz will get a chance to be the Mets [...]
RHP Bobby Parnell will make his triple-A debut tonight for New Orleans. He was promoted from double-A Binghamton over the weekend.

I’m beat and I’m driving back to NYC tonight, so I want to hit the road, but I wasn’t the only one curious to see Bobby Parnell throw Friday. GM Omar Minaya was in the stands. I’ll have a few comments from him up by Saturday.
Parnell wasn’t perfect, but he was pretty good.
Friday, I’m following the B-Mets to New Britain to see Bobby Parnell pitch. The team actually left Thursday night, but I’m taking off Friday morning for my drive across New York State.
I’ve got more Murphy coverage coming shortly and some mid-day-ish updates from Savannah.
