SNY.TV:
Mets Injury Tracker: J.D. Davis could return before All-Star break. “During
Game 2 of a July 4 doubleheader against the Yankees, Mets manager Luis Rojas
told ESPN that Davis could make a return before the All-Star break --
potentially targeting a four-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates from
July 8-11.”
SNY.TV:
Corey Oswalt pitches way into Mets' fifth starter conversation: Rojas was
asked about Oswalt's potential as a starter in the Mets rotation and answered
honestly."He could be right now," Rojas said of Oswalt (1-1, 3.48
ERA). "We have different guys that we can talk about and definitely Corey
is one of them. He's got the poise. He's got some experience now. This kid has
been doing this -- for, I think, three years now with this one -- where he
comes up and helps. And at this point, he's got the experience to come in.”

Sunday's top prospect performers. “A
torrid June seems to be carrying over into July for Vientos, who continued to
hammer the baseball at a Ruthian clip. The 21-year-old homered for the 10th
time in 17 games and fell a triple shy of the cycle while driving in four of
Binghamton’s five runs Sunday. Vientos entered June with a .231/.279/.410 slash
line but has batted .333 with 10 of his 13 homers and 24 of his 36 RBIs.

Today in Mets History Per Ultimatemets.com:
Born on this date:
- Jeff Innis (1962)
- Dave Eiland (1966)
Transactions:
New York Mets signed free agent Cleon
Jones on July 5, 1962.
New York Mets claimed Chris
Schwinden on waivers from the New York Yankees on
July 5, 2012.
1962 |
The Mets sign 19-year-old outfielder Cleon Jones for
$1,000, but the football and baseball collegian standout returns to Alabama
A&M due to the lateness of the signing in the season. The Mets Hall of
Famer, who spent a dozen seasons in New York, including the World Champion
team, retires after playing for the White Sox in 1976. |
1987 |
In a seven-player trade, the Giants swap southpaws Keith Comstock
and Mark Davis, right-hander Mark Grant, and third baseman Chris Brown to the
Padres for infielder/outfielder Kevin Mitchell and left-handers Dave Dravecky
and Craig Lefferts. Mitchell, obtained by San Diego in an off-season
blockbuster trade with the Mets, will be the NL's Most Valuable Player in
1989, helping the Giants to capture the circuit's pennant. |
2000 |
Mets' right-handed reliever Eric Cammack triples in his
only major league at-bat, joining Charlie Lindstrom (1958), Eduardo Rodriguez
(1973), and Scott Munninghoff (1980) as the only players to accomplish this
unlikely feat. The 24 year-old Nederland, Texas native, who will appear in
only eight big-league games, all with the Amazins', legs out his three-bagger
off Ron Mahay in the top of the ninth inning during the team's 11-2 loss to
the Marlins at Pro Player Stadium. |
2014 |
The Brooklyn Cyclones, attracting a sellout crowd of 8,241
fans at MCU Park in Coney Island, celebrate the 25th anniversary of the debut
of Seinfeld, an iconic sitcom about nothing that initially ran for nine
seasons on NBC, from 1989 to 1998. The tribute to the iconic television
series includes players taking batting practice in puffy pirate shirts, a
low-talker announcer, a 'Magic Loogie' bobblehead of Keith Hernandez giveaway,
and renaming the foul poles the Festivus poles. |
1963 -
With 2 outs and 2 strikes, Pirates right fielder Roberto Clemente lines a tie-breaking
2-run homer into the right field upper deck at the Polo Grounds, putting Pittsburgh ahead to
stay, 3 - 1, against the New York Mets. While the shot is not a
tape-measure one, it is remarkable that the pitch almost hit Clemente in the
head. Maury Allen reports it thus: "'I
was trying to waste a pitch', Tracy Stallard said. 'I figured if maybe
I could get him to swing again at a pitch around his head.' So Stallard threw a
real pitch to Clemente, the kind any human being hitter would duck away from
and scream for the umpire. Naturally, Clemente hit it upstairs."
2010: Joey Votto, in competition for the last spot on the National League All-Star team, hits two solo home runs in the Reds' 8 - 6 win over the Mets. The game features the ejection of Mets manager Jerry Manuel, who complains over a ruling that Scott Rolen is hit by a Mike Pelfrey pitch with the bases loaded in the 5th, scoring the go-ahead run. Manuel argues that the ball tipped Rolen's bat, but is tossed when he tries to press his case. Drew Stubbs and Corky Miller follow with two-run hits each, then pitcher Travis Wood hits a triple to make it 7 - 1. The Mets counter with 5 runs of their own in the bottom of the frame, but never manage to catch up.
2011: It took a while, but Jason Bay is finally giving the Mets the production they have been waiting for since they signed him to a large contract before the 2010 season. Today, he hits two homers and drives in 4 runs as New York shuts out the Dodgers, 6 - 0, giving him a .347 average and 17 RBI in his last 18 games. Mike Pelfrey is the winner over Ted Lilly, with the help of three relievers.
