Items of note

Good story on Fernando Martinez from Steve Popper.

David Brown is right: Jake Peavy does look like the dude from the Hurt Locker. Also, is it me or does Daniel Murphy look a little bit like the main guy from Avatar?

Jamaica and MLB are building a baseball field. Cool. Also, insert Tim Lincecum joke here.

Good poll from Mark Himmelstein at Amazin’ Avenue: Which Met prospect would you most like to see break camp with the big club?

  1. Baseball in Jamaica? Color me doubtful. “Calypso baseball” doesn’t have quite the same ring to it as “calypso cricket.”

    Unrelated fast food note: inspired by your Twitter post, I ordered a five-layer burrito with avacado ranch instead of sour cream. I’ll summarize the experience with a resounding “meh.” I can see why they aren’t pairing it with any beef products. Too much conflict there.

    • They did that for you? You must have a good Taco Bell. The place near me would never be able to figure that out. I’ll have to try that next time I’m by my parents’ house, near the awesome Taco Bell I grew up on. SPOILER ALERT: I’m working on a Pacific Shrimp Taco post now.

      • My local Taco Bell is very good with the special orders and substitutions. I guess I won’t be taking it for granted. Sorry that you have to live near the worst Taco Bell in the world.
