Hey, another Met! James Wagner of NYT reporting Mets are calling up Tomas Nido, your Rumble Pony catching prospect. About time they have a backup backup backstop in September.

It really is silly NOT to have three catchers in September.

The young man is going to wear No. 77, further making a mockery of protocol.

Not particularly good news if your name is Xorge Carrillo. Now, if you have a cool name like Xorge, that may be all the good news you need. But if you are the Xorge Carrillo, you are headed toward the professional limbo of minor league free agency this offseason, and even if the Mets removed you from the roster come October, a few swings a big league pitchers might have been just the thing your résumé needed.

Nido will be playing in the Arizona Fall League.

Phil Esposito wore 77.

I would not be surprised if next season. 1. Pawlecki 2. Nido 3. TBA

Alas, not a lot of fans there to witness.

Nido evidently wore 7 in many of his stops on the way up including the Futures game
