Wise move. Glad they didn’t get pressured into putting him on the field by the New York media noise machine.
Misch Outrighted to Buffalo
Pat Misch was able to pass through waivers, and was optioned to Triple A Buffalo.

Poll Time: Jose Reyes and Opening Day
Submitted by Dave Rosado
Mike Puma with the New York Post reports that some players on the Mets believe that the team is “babying” Jose Reyes, who’s working to return to shape after sitting out due to elevated thyroid levels.
The message in the story is something I’ve also been thinking: that the Mets are doing this not as much to purely protect Reyes as to protect...
Waiving Misch Not the Wisest of Moves
rhmets2000:
On the heels of another Oliver Perez disaster this afternoon, the Mets waived LHP Pat Misch, one of the few guys who has been able to get anyone out this spring.
Also am I the only one thinks Ryota Igarashi should not be in the opening day bullpen? That guys fastball is as straight as an arrow.
Why the Mets?
rookiemetsfan:
I chose the Mets for several reasons. I’m from New York, and if I want to really get the sports fan experience, I’ll have to watch the game surrounded by other Mets fans. I could have chosen the Yankees, but that’s too easy. My grandma liked the Mets. And after I found out my boyfriend was seeing the Twins play the Mets in June? Well, I had to become a Mets fan just to piss him...

Just days after our good friend Tim Cook revealed the existence of a an Armando Benitez Facebook fan page, Mike Silva at NY Baseball Digest links to an Atlantic League press release announcing the signing of Benitez and fellow former Met teammate Edgardo...

“I’ve always said that the reason the Mets hired me was because I had losing...”

I tear up at just the thought of this man not being around someday.

If he doesn’t play Opening Day now I’m going to be even more depressed before.

diaryofasportsfan:
Japan doesn’t usually get the respect it deserves as far as being considered the premiere baseball country in the world, this despite the fact that they have won the only two World Baseball Classics, the World Series MVP is from Japan, as is former AL MVP and possibly the best contact hitter in baseball history. So my next few posts will be strictly about Japanese baseball...
