also, griffey and thome hit homers 499 and 399, respectively. beltran bruised his knee in one of the funniest plays i've ever seen. HOW the hell did he not know where the wall was in his own ballpark? dude just jumped right into it. HAHAHA. ummm... there's also some mets trade talk. the astros asked if we wanted hidalgo. they'd pay some salary and only ask for someone like weathers or stanton in return.
also, in other mets news, David Wright was promoted to AAA Norfolk. his final #'s at AA Binghamton are:
G AB R H TB 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO SB CS AVG OBP SLG
60 223 44 81 127 27 0 10 40 39 41 20 6 .363 .467 .619
pretty god damn good. 37 extra base hits. out of 81 hits, 37 were for 2 or more bases!!! the kid can steal, superb defense, hit, hit for power and has a + arm. i smell five tools. i smell the third baseman of the mets future. the more people see him, the more they are comparing him to Scott Rolen. and you KNOW the mets are high on him because the royals said 'give us David Wright and Jason Phillips and we'll give you Beltran." mets said no. so, hopefully we'll see him in august sometime, but it's almost a given we'll see him in september.
