i read it in the daily news, by trusted mets beat reporter adam rubin. it is on his blog "surfin the mets": "From Norfolk to New Orleans? The Mets seemed resigned yesterday to their Triple-A affiliate moving from Norfolk to New Orleans, though David Wright made a late-night appeal last night to Norfolk president Ken Young. For the Norfolk point of view, you can read Rich Radford's report in the Virginian-Pilot. I guess we'll be changing the link on the right to the New Orleans Times-Picayune soon. For whatever it's worth, ex-Met Ron Swoboda is a broadcaster for the New Orleans Zephyrs." http://blogs.nydailynews.com/mets/
pedro pulled after giving up 7 earned and 8 hits in 2 2/3. can't wait to see pedro and tom pitching for the triple a zephyrs next year. will be awesome.
you're correct. been telling martian about this starting pitching since april. no chance to win it all. with the astros likely out there is no dominant starting pitching which means it sets up once again for the evil empire. mediocre staffs (including their own) favors the yanks and they will coast again it seems.
I do have to agree the Mets are done. Their best pitcher is 40 years old. Sad to see the great Pedro not being able to perform. On a side note, the Mets are the only team that will end up finishing in first place in MLB history to lose back to back games by 12 runs.
whats happened here is the mets are a rare team of intellectuals who can actually wrap their heads around what meaningless games are. meaningless. truly of no consequence, you could lose by 100 and it means nothing.
