I hope Grandys injury isn't bad but , I've watched this team long enough to know that it will be.

I watched him being interviewed post-game and figured he seems okay, everything came back negative plus he said he's just bruised and a little sore so he should be good to go fairly soon.  Then I realized this is the Mets.

Can't afford to lose Lagares let alone him AND Grandy.  Of course that'd happen when Chris Young isn't eligible to come off the DL til Friday.

I'm still perplexed by the moves Sandy has made. Only thing he's done well is pick up Wheeler and move Dickey. His signings have been atrocious. Would much rather field a minor league outfield than deal with Grandy and Chris Young eating salary as they ride the DL.
 
Young is a one year contract that was a good deal. Granderson however was just stupid, guy has been on a downward spiral for the past few years and can barely make contact with the ball. Don't give money to high strikeout guys.
 
I don't mind Granderson because he can hit for power and we really needed outfield help, I won't have a short leash with him just because of the whole Bay ordeal. This team played good baseball when we had a good defensive outfield the last 100 games.

Young is ok (average), it's nice to have some depth in the outfield though. Kirk has been hitting well in the minors, hope he does well during his short stint being called up for Lagares.

Mets minor league team is hosting “Seinfeld night”

Keith Hernandez Jerry Seinfeld
Jerry Seinfeld is a big Mets fan, so he’ll probably love this.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of “Seinfeld” starting on NBC the Mets’ Single-A affiliate, the Brooklyn Cyclones of the New York-Penn League, are hosting a “Seinfeld Night” at the ballpark on July 5.

Darren Rovell of ESPN.com reports that the first 2,500 fans will get a Keith Hernandez bobblehead depicting him from the “Magic Loogie” episode of the show. Some other details of the festivities, via Rovell:

During the game, the team will become Vandelay Industries Park, named for the latex company George Costanza tells the unemployment office he might work for. The Cyclones say that anyone who can present a legitimate business card that shows they are a latex salesman will get in for free.

Thanks to Newman, mailmen in uniform will throw out the first pitch. Fans will have a chance to take part in an eating contest featuring cereal, Jerry’s favorite food, and there will be a dancing contest where fans will try to dance just like Elaine. To commemorate one of Jerry’s most awkward moments, the Cyclones will wear puffy shirts during batting practice.

I’m sure it’ll be super cheesy, but as a huge “Seinfeld” fan I can’t imagine the whole night not being really fun.

Some other possibilities that the Cyclones are free to use/steal:

- Every time a hitter on either team gets to first base they have to wear a Keith Hernandez mustache on the bases.

- Roundtable discussion of whether Jay Buhner-for-Ken Phelps was a good trade or not.

- Any player who follows in Paul O’Neill’s footsteps by hitting two home runs* for a sick child wins a free black-and-white cookie for everyone in the crowd.

- George Constanza look-a-like giving hitting tips to the players during pregame batting practice.

- And of course anyone with a baby named “Seven” gets in for free.
