Some quick hits to go with your Wednesday morning Corona*:
1) John Maine had an effective start last night as the Mets ended their three game slide. The game featured two New York homers, one by David Wright (6) and the other by Barajas (7).
2) Barajas has been crazy over the past 5 games with four homers. His bat is proving to be a challenge. I think batting him 8th is also helping his cause. He doesn't really hit the ball on the ground at all, and doesn't really get hits, he just is really good at hitting great homers. Being in the 8th spot means that he is getting some pitches to hit and pitchers are trying to just get things by him.
3) Strasburg will make his Triple A debut on Friday.
4) I didn't watch the game last night, but I did catch the last inning on the radio. Is it just me, or does it seem like there is a sizable portion of Mets fans out in Cinncy?
* Happy Cinco De Mayo
