As Adam Rubin pointed out, Boss turns 32 today.

According to this report on MetsLocker.com, Pascucci will be back for another go of it with the Mets in 2011. I have no reason to doubt the report — I don’t imagine the people at MetsLocker.com traffic in making up totally plausible stories about Quad-A mashers re-signing — but since I didn’t see Pascucci’s return noted anywhere else I’m trying to get confirmation from the Mets.

I’m hoping to get down to Spring Training this year. If Pascucci’s going to be there you can pretty much bank on a really awkward web video in which I ask him if he knows that to this day, half the time one of my articles is linked at MetsBlog, someone brings up his name.

(And I’m still happy to point out that the Mets fell a single game short after giving 151 plate appearances to Marlon Anderson in 2008 — nearly all of them while he was pinch hitting or playing first base or left field. Anderson rewarded them with a .540 OPS while Pascucci was slugging better than that in New Orleans.)

Anyway, I’ll keep looking for more info on Pascucci’s return. But in the meantime, here’s hoping he enjoys his birthday.
