Long at bats rule

How is the Mets farm in general? It seems lots of teams don't have good young talent they can bring up. Oakland is well known for drafting well and Minnesota for making good trades / scouting.

Oh, this Tuesday. I demand a full report

The Mets have run some remarkable talent through here in the last few years like Jose Reyes and David Wright. They seem to be good judges of pitching talent until the parent club trades them for washed up hitters. Our favorite guy here was Mike Jacobs who got traded over the winter. He was a consistantly clutch hitter. Right now they are hyping Carlos Gomez. We haven't had buzz like this since Reyes was here. Lastings Milledge moved up to triple A last year. He has wicked speed, I saw him bunt for a base hit, steal second and third on succesive pitches, and score on a passed ball. I don't know if he will hit at the major league level but as Whitey used to say speed does not slump.

I was there for all 9 innings, with a cute girl. Thank God she came with, because the Mets played very flat, losing 7-1.

Oh well, I may go to the day game today.
