With a name like Jason Raymond Bay, surely his nickname has to be something like ‘Jay-Ray-Bay’? Nice post.

OT, and from the “Here We Go Again” Dept.

Jose Reyes has been scratched from today’s game. metsblog is saying he has an “imbalance in his thyroid” and is headed back to NY (!!!) for tests…

Two former Mets farmhands who SHOULD have been “Lost Boys”, but can’t be (because they were never reacquired by the Metropolitans) include the late RHP Jim Bibby and INF Quilvio Veras. They each, in their respective decades, gave the Mets some headaches during their primes. BTW, Greg and Jason, check out Bibby’s Topps 1972 Cardinals multiplayer rookie card: a halfbaked airbrush job, showing a fake red cap, but leaving Bibby’s Met pinstripes intact, and Met logo clearly visible on the left sleeve ….rivalling Rusty Staub’s 1974 Hostess card as one of the most curious airbrush jobs Topps has ever put forth of a Met player. (As was pointed out by Jason in an earlier post).

Mickey Weston was a Rochester Red Wing in my years there. His finest was 1990-est, where he went 11-1 with a 1.98 ERA in an IL comprised of mostly other AL (and thus, DH-wielding) affiliates. It was the Wings’ first Governors Cup in my tenure, and but for stupid Oriole September callups, they might’ve won the AAA championship as well.

He signed with Baltimore as a six-year free agent. Can’t imagine the Mets needing someone good in their rotation that year, huh.
