The Mets best in-house option for power is Wily Mo Pena, with Jerry pushing for power and Pena starting to heat up, there's the potential for Pena to get called up.The slugger had a 12 game hitting streak where he was batting .308 with two home runs and six RBI's. Pena left yesterday's game with a leg injury, the extent of the injury wasn't revealed and the Bison's haven't placed him on the DL, two weeks ago he was limited to DH duty after fouling a ball off his leg. Abreu was not in the starting lineup but was forced into action when 1B Wily Mo Pena left the game in the middle of his at-bat in the fourth inning with an apparent leg injury. source MiLB

Cora! Cora! <i>Cora?</i>
Before Tuesday's demi-classic took flight, I was slightly amused to read of the significant impact one of the Mets' off-season acquisitions was having on the team. No, not Mr. Perfect, Francisco Rodriguez, but erstwhile afterthought Alex Cora. Yessir, Ben Shpigel wrote in the Times, Alex Cora has been quite the addition and a heckuva teammate.

Denizens of Citi Field whooped and wailed in their loudest voices; the faux iron and brick of the new palace almost shook as Francisco Rodriguez reeled off a low fastball that tugged the strike zone, past Greg Dobbs’ static frame. A 6-5 loss for the Phillies, and for the Mets, so much more.
It was the [...]
