Kid Bids Hess Adieu
by Greg Prince on 21 September 2010 7:32 pm Lucas Duda just blasted one out of Whatever It’s Called Stadium, his second homer, meaning Club Hessman loses yet another temporary member. Population of One Met Homer Village: 69 again.
If only it was ’69 again.
In other updating-type news, the war of attrition has claimed another victim: Bobby Parnell, out for the season with inflammation and stiffness in his pitching elbow. That’s four Mets who have been lost in September: Santana, Mejia, Hernandez, now Bobby. Also, Ollie Perez and Luis Castillo don’t seem to be available, ever.
Which is OK.

Last night I happend to catch some of the rerun of the 5/11 game vs The Nationals. What shocked me was how much more relaxed Ike Davis looked while batting in May than he does in September. None of those tortured facial expressions that seem like he can’t breathe, and a more confident swing as well. Makes me wonder what kind of year is in store for him in 2011.
I think Tatis catching him by the crotch changed his outlook on things.
