Mets’ top pitching prospect Jenrry Mejia will make his AFL debut today. Ike Davis had a pretty decent day there yesterday.
The Jets’ defense is appropriately chagrined.
Jay-Z is unwilling to perform “Yankees Rule This Town”, a parody of his “Rule This Town.” Really? Shocker. Joan Jett covered “I love Rocky Road” like a billion times.
(FWIW, I once pool-hopped at a house that supposedly belonged to Joan Jett. Also, there’s probably a special ring of hell for wacky morning DJs on Top 40 stations.)
In advance of the big fella’s start on Friday, Steve Lombardi at WasWatching.com breaks down CC Sabathia’s starts with between 7 and 10 days of rest. There’s no real identifiable pattern, it appears.

From the article about Mejia, it says Jerry is out in Arizona to watch him pitch to try to gauge whether he might potentially be able to help the Mets in the bullpen in 2010. Personally, I have to say that it seems like it might be much better for his development in the long run if the Mets let him spend the whole year starting in AA, maybe in AAA if that’s a more appropriate difficulty level. His arm is never going to progress from where it is now (pitched ~95 innings this year) to where you want it to be if he’s going to be a good MLB starter (capable of throwing, say, ~200 innings) if they take him out of his present development track and have him throw ~60-80 innings out of the bullpen instead. It just seems tremendously short-sighted.
