>All Hail Nick Evans

>
Hooray for #6 Nick Evans who was issued a “good” number, went three for four with three doubles and 2 RBI. Batting around in the first should help Willie sleep a tad better, but I’d still fear the Wilpon meeting if I were him.

Tale of two teams – the schedule this week has allowed the Mets Police to catch a lot of Yankees. Last week the Yanks were reeling, now it seems like they are rolling. Having the MVP back will do that for you. Conversely, the Mets seemed like they were on their way Sunday night and well…if you’re on this blog you know the deal.

Back to Nick. Nice to have another “Met” in the lineup. No Dodgers, Braves or Bosox. An actual Met. Kinda nice. Hopefully he can play with The Captain and OverReyes for a long long time. Hanging 5-6-7 on the wall in 2025 would be kinda nice, but I’m kinda getting ahead don’t ya think.

>Mike Piazza of the Dodgers

>Stumbled across this:

The greatest every-day player in New York Mets history — the team’s second-best player ever — should go to Cooperstown wearing a cap with an “LA” logo.

Piazza was a Dodger first.


And best.


It was as a Dodger that he became a baseball somebody, making the NL All-Star team in each of his five full seasons in LA. It was as a Dodger that he emerged as the most productive offensive catcher in baseball history and made his most compelling case for his inevitable, first-ballot induction into the Hall of Fame in 2013.
