We remember Ty Adcock! He was the guy who got pummeled in that game at Pittsburgh last year. (The same game where Make-A-Wish Eric Orze made his debut and couldn't get anybody out.)

Welcome back?

Welcome back?

Too late, he's already gone, replaced with Austin Warren, who will probably be gone by Sunday to make room for spot starter Blake Tidwell.

I want Dedniel!

But for now I take nine straight wins (across seasons) against the Cards, first time the Mets have ever done that.

Also, Pete walloped one over the fence, leaving Cliff Floyd in the dust and joining Paul Molitor (HOF), Kevin Mitchell (1986 champ!), Carlos Gonzalez, and Gary Matthews (Sr., and probably proud dad of twice-a-Met Garry Matthews jr.) with 234 career bombs, t-293rd at this point.

Whompin' Wilmer Flores has cooled down since his hot start, but he is now on 160 career blasts, tying him with:

Alvin Davis

Jeff "Frenchy" Francoeur

Bopping Bill Melton, first man to hit 30 bombs in the depths of Comiskey Park and 1971 AL HR champ

Brandon Moss

Tony Phillips, whom I loved until he flopped as a Met

Henry Rodríguez

Pete Rose, all-time *hit king

Frank White

Roy White, whose time in the Pinstripers' chain included a stint with the Columbus (GA) Confederate Yankees (wth?) in the early 1960s. As a black man. Way to go, whoever was the GM after they fired George Weiss. (Roy Hamey, I guess.)
