A Bell there was, a Bell, a Bell!
All black and brown, and covered with hair!
The Bell! The Bell!
Oh, come, they said, oh come to the fair!
The fair? Said he, but I'm a Bell!
All black, and brown, and covered with hair!

Josh Satin for Mike Baxter (DL) official.

Left-hander Robert Carson from Double-A Binghamton, not right-hander Pedro Beato, is getting the promotion to the Mets to fill the roster spot of Ramon Ramirez, multiple team sources confirmed to ESPNNewYork.com.

Ramirez is headed to the DL with a hamstring strain suffered while joining the Johan Santana no-hitter celebration, Terry Collins announced Saturday.

The Carson promotion is a mild surprise in that Beato is eligible to be activated from the 60-day DL today, and Sandy Alderson said a few days ago it was realistic that he would join the Mets at that point. One possible explanation is that the Mets are not ready to clear a 40-man roster spot for Beato, who does not count against that total while he remains on the 60-day DL. The Mets already will need to clear a 40-man spot for Chris Young, who is expected to pitch Tuesday in D.C.

Carson, 23, has logged three innings spanning two relief appearances at the major league level.

Food for thought: For aome inexplicable reason, Caesar Puello and Juan Lagares are on the Mets 40-Man Roster. There is NO CHANCE they would've seen playing time this year. Why are they on the 40-Man, now the Mets are restricted in the moves they can make.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Tommy Hanson really settled in after the back-to-back shots by Lombardozzi and Harper. He was flat-out dominant after that.

I'm rooting for the Mets tonight. A 3 way tie for 1st would be awesome.

5 way tie to finish the season.

5 way tie to finish the season.

the tie breaker would probably be divisional record, not too good for the braves.

Poor Brooks Conrad, 0-2 today, .032 BA so far this season. I miss Dirt Dawg.

I wish he would get hit by a fucking bus

 

[Mr. Enigma]

I remember that game the Braves played against the Brewers in Milwaukee in 2010 where Chipper left with an injury. Conrad came in and hit two home runs.

 

[RBH]

I think I just heard the Ultimate Warrior's music as Francoeur's walkup song.

You will take it back one of these days. Just when you give up, he rubs dirt on his hands, and hits the winner.

He just hit a big home run yesterday.

I hope he gets hit by a fucking bus. Tired of watching that piece of shit fail.

He has grit. He probably likes the heavy women and light beer in Wisconsin. He will be back next year.

:me!

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Conrad was incredible to watch in 2010. He always came up with some gigantic clutch hit late in the game. He had two-pinch hit grand slams. I think the playoff game is going to haunt the rest of his career, though. He wasn't the same in 2011, aside from a big 9th inning homerun off K-Rod early in the season. Although, I think Cox had a much better grasp on how to utilize Conrad than Fredi did.

 

[cashman]

This is why bunts are fucking retarded.

 

[The Frankman]

I cannot believe I still remember John Franco pitching on the Cincinnati Reds, and seen his whole Mets career.

5 way tie to finish the season.

Where all the teams have better records than the West and Central divisional winners, but will get fucked over WC disadvantage bullshit.

 

[zulux21]

yay and the white sox improve to 14 and 2 in their last 16 games.
It's a fun time to be a sox fan right now, hopefully this run continues for a while so they can build up a decent lead before they come back down to earth.

 

[eznark]

Weeks walks on 4 straight after Taylor Green draws a walk so Braun.....swings at the first pitch.

I love him but jesus he is dumb as fuck.

 

[eznark]

Clint Barmes lol. Man I wish we could just play pathetically shitty teams like the Dodgers every day.

 

[cashman]

Rangers: 7 hits, 2 walks, and only 2 runs to show for it

Angels: 1 hit, 1 walk, and 1 run

 

[The Elite]

Just got back from the Jay's game. Bard threw like a piece of shit today.

Brooks did his job, HR by grit.

This is angels in the outfield type bullshit.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Halladay was supposed to have a press conference on Friday talking about the second opinion he got on his shoulder, but it was cancelled. The Phillies are not releasing the second opinion report from the Mets doctor David Altchek. They are now seeking a third opinion.

 

[cashman]

finally. shit.

What? They don't trust a Mets doctor? I can't believe that.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Altchek is one of the doctors that does a lot of the Tommy John surgeries.

 

[BigJonsson]

Phew, Edwin Encarnacion doesn't have a broken hand, just a bruise

 

[jakncoke]

It only took for the Brewers to suck major ass but we still managed to get a series win out of them.

Mets doctors turn ankle sprains into leg amputation.

The Phillies are so weirdly militant in their withholding of information.

Alfonzo Soriano is the worst left fielder in baseball. MY GOD.

Hey any news on Ryan Ho-

"We can't tell you. And don't THINK of calling me dude."

I love the black unis in honor of John Franco. Sweet.

So it's all over for him?

 

[CygnusXS]

Wait, Bill Maher bought part of the Mets?

 

[The Frankman]

Altchek is pretty much the father of the Tommy John Surgery. If they want a 3rd opinion he's fucked.

Wait, Bill Maher bought part of the Mets?

Yep limited partner.
