Presenting: The Sandwich Bracket

Via Andrew comes this bracket-based tournament of sandwiches. I haven’t had lunch so it all sounds pretty delicious right about now, but I question some of the seeding here. McGriddle got a two and Muffuletta got a four? Actually, seems like there’s a lot of disrespect to the sandwiches of New Orleans across the board here. Maybe an RPI thing?

It’s my last day here in Port St. Lucie and I’ve been kind of busy banking some podcast stuff and hashing out something a little longer. Sorry if it has been quiet. Some notes:

– Matt Harvey threw 75 pitches and 58 strikes in a game on the Minor League side. The results are reasonably meaningless since Harvey was facing various levels of competition (and every time he allowed a baserunner, R.A. Dickey and Jon Niese came in to bunt), but Harvey touched 96 on the gun and sat around 93 or 94. He makes throwing 96 look really easy, too. He said afterward that he was happy with his progress and that he felt like he has improved from his last Spring Training outing and from last year.

– Manny Acosta appears to be the fastest of the Mets’ relief pitchers. Don’t quote me on that, though I’m not sure why you would.

– Seems like it’s way quieter here on travel days then it was last year. David Wright returned today and answered 15 minutes’ worth of questions about his injury. You can hear most of it on MetsBlog.
