Cyclones GM Puts Hair On The Line

The Mets Single-A affiliate, Brooklyn Cyclones, play a pivital game against their rival Staten Island Yankees tonight. The General Manager of the Cyclones has made a hair raising guarantee. Stephen Cohen, 39, vowed yesterday to shave his head at home plate tonight if
the Cyclones lose to the league-leading rival Staten Island Yankees, reports The New York Daily News.

“If I have to, I'll do it right after the last out for everyone to see,” said Cohen.

“But I don't think it's gonna happen. I feel confident we're gonna win
because I'm gonna will us to victory,” he said, sounding a tad like a
man who wished he had promised something else.

The Cyclones play the Yankees tonight at 7:05PM, and don't forget September 6th is Brian Bannister Bobblehead Night !!! Check out their website for more information.

Farm Report : Kid, Its Time To Go

Mack's Mets posts an interesting article of minor leaguers who might have worn out their welcome in the Mets system and might be clogging up the system. Mack gives a list of players who might be good candidates for a flushing to make room for new talent.

Mack also makes a great observation that, although the Mets seemed to have some issues right now with their starting pitching, soon they could have a surplus of young major league ready arms.

What if Barry Zito does sign a free agent contract with Omar in the off season?

What if Oliver Perez does get his act together and returns to his 2004 form?

What if Mike Pelfrey has no place to go but up to full time status at Shea?

And what if Phil Humber goes lights out in AFL + wows us in spring training?

All these questions leads to one more…  what the heck do the Mets do with Tom Glavine, El Duque, John Maine, Brian Bannister, Steve Trachsel,  and Evan MacLane? Exactly who is the trade bait these days?

(Also… is it my imagination or does the projected growth of Deolis Guerra seem to correspond to the end of Pedro’s contract?)

Farm Report : MacLane Carries 1-Hitter Into 8th

Here's a rundown of this weekends minor league action courtesy of the fantastic Toby's Mets Minor League Report

Norfolk Tides (AAA)

Saturday

three-run single, you weren’t alone. 
Coronado himself scored the third run on the play on a throwing error on

minor league baseball.)

Who Is Hot Foot?

Hot Foot was founded by a group of life long friends who also happen to be die hard Mets fans. Hot Foot comes from the great 1986 Mets relief pitcher Roger McDowell who would use a wad of gum to stick a roll of cigarettes to the back of unsuspecting teammates shoes and light them on fire, thus a Hot Foot. Hot Foot is inspired by the same rock and roll baseball mentality of Roger and the 86 Mets, and uncensored commentary with news, notes, rumors and analysis revolving around the world of the Amazin New York Mets.
