Is the team called the N'Awlins Bat-Fart Smotherers?

The Zephyrs are undefeated as a Mets affilliate. Box.

I didn't see the game but I flicked by while the intro was going on in time to hear long-time Zephyr color-man Ron Swoboda saying about his hometown team being the affiliate of his long-time ML squad; 'if I were any more excited I'd have to be wearing a diaper'

I waas flippin' back & forth between the N'awlins - Nashville game and the Yankees - Rays. The first thing that struck me was the obvious difference between a major league telecast and a AAA one. Whew doggie. Fun watching Humber but I had more fun watching Yankee fans boo ARod and seeing Jeter make (another!) error.

Yuck. You may have a bit of explaining to do next time you get your prostate examined.

BTW, for those few of you unfamiliar with Norman Mailer's lesser works, and for those of you who naturally assumed that the above post was simply a reflection of my obscenity- and filth-laden mind, devoid of any merit or sense, let me give you the fuller quotation: "'He has the high-breed vectors all rights,' says Hallelujah, 'he's got the cunningest ancestry, in fact cause we're on my mother's side from the Norloins.' 'New Orleans?' 'Yis, from Norlins, the Norlins Frenchy Montesquious and the Bat Fartsmotherers.' But seeing that Levin Fichte is living on her word, she just knocks over a bottle of one of his urine specimens, adieu albumen! and says, 'Mon Doo Ginsberg, you're sure full of shit for a doctor, don't y'know there are no fine Southern famillies called Fartsmotherer? Lord knows we ain't that fucking stupid, why even British country stock wouldn't be called Fartsmotherer, maybe Assknocking, but not the other, you can't analyze me Living Fichte if you don't know things like that, oh poo I wish you was an Italianate Jew, all earthy and Levantine and suave and had a cunt-tickler of a mustache, instead of your clammy cold Lithuanian brow, what are you, a Talmud hokum? speak up, ass, I just wish you was good enough to kiss my sweet perfumed powdered old pooty-toot, hey, Linnet? am I getting out my eggressions now?'" from WHY ARE WE IN VIETNAM? (Putnam: New York. 1967), 15. Just thought you might be curious about the source of my allusion.

Who's Norman Mailer?

Gwreck Apr 07 2007 08:36 AM

Humber made his New Orleans debut wearing...#37, which I found curious.

Ah, an EXECUTIONER'S SONG reference. Good one, mm!

From Baseball America: No one would have blinked if Carlos Gomez struggled in his first month in Triple-A. After all, he’s a 21-year-old in a league filled with former major leaguers. But don’t worry about Gomez; he’s not having any trouble. Gomez went 3-for-3 with a triple on Monday. He has a hit in every game this season and is now hitting .419/.468/.651 with six stolen bases. Gomez’ hitting helped Philip Humber pick up the win on Monday. Humber struck out four and allowed one run in six innings. Dude has 18 hits w/6 2Bs & 2 3Bs

so, if green or alou goes down, lastings or gomez? :-P

Back to the Milledge/Gomez question for a moment. Gomez's torrid streak naturally cooled off somewhat although he maintains a nice stat line of .304/.382/.443 in 79 ABs w/7 2Bs & 2 3Bs in his 24 hits. 10 SBs in 13 attempts Milledge, meanwhile, picked things up and is hitting .333/.372/.436 in just 39 ABs. 1 2B & 1 HR in his 13 hits. 5-fer-5 in SBs But now Milledge is on the DL with a "sprained foot"

] MOTA’S RETURN NEARS Reliever Guillermo Mota, serving a 50-game suspension for violating baseball’s performance-enhancing drugs policy, joined New Orleans for tonight’s game in Las Vegas as part of his 16-day rehabilitation assignment. Barring rainouts, Mota is eligible to return May 30 against San Francisco.

From BA: Mets infielder Jake Gautreau had a career night at the plate in Triple-A New Orleans’ 19-4 win against Iowa. Gautreau went 6-for-7 with four doubles, a home run and drove in eight. The Zephyrs’ 19 runs and 25 hits both set franchise highs for the club. Gautreau = Good name for New Orleans

The injury rash in the Mets and Zephyrs outfields sure has helped Chip Ambres, who has recently been named PCL Player of the week, hitting in every game and garnering multiple hits in all but one. AB: 29 H: 17 R: 14 2B: 2 3B: 0 HR: 3 RBI 10 BB: 3 SO: 3 SO SB: 0 BA: .586 OBP: .625 SLG: .966 OPS: 1.591
