Nice ovation for the newest Met, with the fans grateful for the specter of somebody who might drive in a run,

I know one about Vogelbach's #32 ... it's not in honor of his waist size.

It could be his neck size though. Or a tribute to what used to be Van Morrison's worst track on his worst album. [YOUTUBE]OmSJzYSvhNY[/YOUTUBE]

I'm guessing that for the Saturday double-header, we get to see Vogelbach break out his glove.

You're right, Pete should DH one of the games but Dom is not on the ML roster. Canha played 1B for an inning so he is a possibility.

I have a perverse need to see ballplayers forced to do the full range of ballplaying. In fact, if I could go back to the beginning and reinvent the game, I'd require each player in the lineup to pitch one inning.

Ruf has played first quite a bit in his career, probably more than Canha.

If "throwing" includes pitching, why the heck not? Fun idea. Later

I believe that I heard them say a few nights ago that he's got a 28 inch neck...don't know if it's even possible, or whether they were joking, or I misheard it but...that's what I thought that I heard them say...

He said that he its his home runs the way he likes donuts - in bunches. Later

Just saw the replay of Vogelbach's double as he just beat the throw into second. I'm wondering who ran faster, Vogelbach yesterday or Bartolo Colon on his famous home run? Later
