Pedro, thank you for a terrific Friday night.

Also, the Mets designated Eric Valent for assignment and called up Victor Diaz. Valent is gone because he had no options left and I suspect some team will claim him. It is too bad, I liked Valent but Diaz is clearly a better player and the Mets need the help. It is too bad for Valent too. Last year, he was conditionally traded to the Red Sox and he went out and hit for the cycle against Les Expos, which led the Mets to back off the trade. He would have had a ring and he would probably have played enough with the Sox to be fresh enough to avoid stinking up the joint this year.
