OF Fernando Martinez was 1-for-2 with an RBI before hurting his hamstring sliding into second; he described the injury as minor, and should be back soon, though he was held out of the Binghamton lineup for today’s early game. 3B Danny Murphy went 1-for-4 with a walk and his fifth homer of the season. Nick Evans, who got the start at 1B before moving to LF when Martinez went down, was 1-for-4. OF Ambiorix Concepcion finished 2-for-4 with two doubles and a run.

St. Lucie (A+): 3-2 loss to Vero Beach

Savannah (A-): 4-2 win over Asheville

Jordan-

Can you put the teams’ records in your report somewhere? While insignificant in terms of the Mets’ long term view, it would be kind of nice to see what these teams are doing overall…

Skip the Mets minor league records and standings. They range from mediocre (NO, Bingo, Savannah) to ungodly horrible (St Lucie).

(Comments wont nest below this level)

Enough of the minor league ramblings, our major league time has no life, no future, no urgency, nothing! Better yet, lets just turn this blog into the savanahgnats dot com and blog about them. I bet they play with more passion and fire then these reggaetone bafoons!

Hahaha!!!

Hey man, I love “terrific fantastic”. I’m weaving into routine discussion every chance I get.

He chastised Pelf for not gutting it out and getting 11 shutout innings of no-hit ball in, and he also said it’s not good to lose 3 out of 4 to an unprofessional girls softball team.

Open a post game comments thread already! Doesn’t need to have a recap of the game, just a thread. We are ready to explode here!

Nice to see Pena picking it up after struggling last year. Jordan, are you able to provide any more info about Pena? I.e. how he looks as a hitter; is he hitting line drives, is he pull happy or dopes he go the opposite way, etc?
