Eugenio makes his triumphant return at the expense of Brian "The Rabbi" Horwitz.
Velez seemed to take out the frustration of his May demotion on AAA pitchers, putting up a .310/.372/.509. His 13 stolen bags would be nice if he didn't get caught a whopping 9 times, lending little credence to the notion that he has become a more polished player in the past couple of months.
Godspeed to Horwitz, who looks like he could be a nice Mark Sweeney type down the line.
Andrew Baggarly speculates that this could be a precursor to a Durham trade, God willing, but I'm going to stick with my policy of assuming it's just another case of questionable roster management by the higher-ups.
Baggarly also has a good piece on the curious merging of paths of the principal players of the White Flag Trade of 1997 and the Giants potential deadline activity.
For those of you who are not paying attention, The Freak goes against the Mets tonight.

Ugly first inning sees the G-men leave em loaded and Tiny Tim give up a 3-run kaboom to Beltran. I hate Beltran.
Have you guys noticed? The Mets are throwing a SHUTOUT. A SHUTOUT against the Giants.
that game sucked
