Carlos Muniz punches his ticket back to NoLa

Why Carlos Muniz is pitching in the bottom of the ninth inning against the Cardinals heart of the order is beyond me.

Either way, Muniz served up the game winner to Troy Glaus, and punched his ticket back to the minor leagues. Muniz will be sent packing back to AAA New Orleans.

The roster spot is still yet to be filled by another minor leaguer, but a move will happen some time tomorrow. My money is on Valentino Pascucci. If not Val, then Mike Carp or Dan Murphy. We'll have to wait and see.

They should really name a flight to New Orleans after Muniz. I'm sure he's loading up on the frequent flier miles by now.

It's about time: Church goes on the DL

The Mets have finally made the right move and have placed ailing Ryan Church on the disabled list.

A resulting move has not been announced, but it should be interesting if they pass over Valentino Pascucci again. Mike Carp or Dan Murphy, anyone?

It's really just downright silly how the Mets have handled Church over the last three weeks. Instead of putting him on the DL immediately, or even within a few days, they forced him to travel all over the country, instead of letting his stay home and rest up.

His replacements helped in a few games, but have been pretty flat and unhelpful for a long stretch of time.

Just when you thought it couldn't get worse

The teams pinch hitting master and current starting left fielder just came up lame while running out a ground ball. Marlon Anderson had to be escorted off the field after the injury.

It looked terrible. Just a scary and painful sight.

Paging Valentino Pascucci...Pascucci...

Anderson will without a doubt hit the DL for an extended period of time.
