Who Cares About TINSTAPP?


The Mets front office may be full of numbsculls and Mike Stanton entering a game still brings tears to my eyes, but until he's traded in a deadline deal next season for Ismael Valdez, Yusmeiro Petit is the best thing the Mets farm system has going for it right now.

In his AA Binghamton debut tonight, Petit continued his terrific season by pitching seven strong innings against the Trenton Thunder, allowing four hits, two earned runs, and a stunning 10 strikeouts. He picked up the "W" in the Mets' 8-2 victory.

In other news, the Red Sox kept pace with the Yankees, beating Detroit 5-1 behind Pedro Martinez. Go Sox!


Comments

Petit also did not issue a walk, showing great control as usual. Even though he's young, he could be on the Mets sometime next year, along with Soler and Humber.

If he doesn't get traded for another stiff.

He better be real nice to The Cabal.
