The Mets seem to be shaking things up.

Robert Carson (FINALLY!), Ike Davis, and Mike Baxter were optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Davis has been improving, but Alderson expected change to arrive sooner than later, and had no more patience with regards to Davis.
Baxter has been on a major slump for a "Quadruple-A" player. Nieuwenhuis has improved his swing, so hopefully Mets fans can get an encore of the first few months of 2012
Carson has been doing terribly in place of Tim Byrdak. He averages 4 HRs per 9 innings.

Major League Baseball is preparing to suspend New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez, Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun and others connected to Biogenesis clinic in Miami, reports ESPN.com.
The report also states that as many as 20 other players will also be suspended because of their connection with the clinic. Biogenesis founder Tony Bosch agreed to cooperate with investigators from MLB after months of trying to verify if the players received performance-enhancing drugs from Bosch. Investigators have had records for more than a month that named the players.
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Melky Cabrera, Oakland Athletics pitcher Bartolo Colon and San Diego Padres catcher Yasmani Grandal have all received 50-game suspensions for failing PED tests. Texas Rangers outfielder Nelson Cruz, Seattle Mariners minor league catcher Jesus Montero, Detroit Tigers shortstop Jhonny Peralta are also being looked at for possible suspensions.
Until now, Bosch had denied any wrongdoing with PED distribution.
“I have been accused, tried and convicted in the media. And so I think have been falsely accused throughout the media,” Bosch told ESPN recently. “I’ve done nothing wrong.”

More from ESPN.com:
One source familiar with the case said the commissioner’s office might seek 100-game suspensions for Rodriguez, Braun and other players, the penalty for a second doping offense. The argument, the source said, is that the players’ connection to Bosch constitutes one offense, and previous statements to MLB officials denying any such connection or the use of PEDs constitute another. Bosch and his attorneys did not return several calls. MLB officials refused to comment when reached Tuesday

W/e the most important thing is in the court of public opinion and these guys will never sniff the HOF and mostly likely in brauns case he will turn into a .280 20 - 30 hr year guy and you will see the significant loss compared to his MVP years. Fuck them all

Following Mets fans on Twitter is the worst thing ever. I always see tweets like: "OMG THE METS SCORED A RUN! THEY'RE GONNA WIN THE WORLD SERIES!!!"

2 hours later... "DEMOTE JEREMY HEFNER!!!"

Harvey goes 7.0 3 earned on 3 hits, with 13 strikeouts and improves to 6-1 on the year. Leading the league in k's and 3rd in era at 2.16

Zack Wheeler, how do you top that in your first major league start??? How about 6.0 innings of shutout ball with 7 k's on 4 hits.

My kinda team charlie, my kinda team.
