Mets Detox Day 10: Who's Brian Stokes?

I've made it through the first half of rehab/detox. Not to get all self-congratulatory, but I'm pretty damn proud of myself. No Mets viewing in over a week. During this stretch, my beloved not-so-amazins have compiled an enviable 4-6 record with a collection of triple-A plus talent.

Last night, they took the stage on national TV against Pujols and the Cards sans Beltran and somehow managed to win. Apparently, Brian Stokes pitched well coaxing a big double-play groundout from Sir Albert. Funny, I was sure Jerry had forgotten about Stokes due to the fact that he goes after hitters and manages to perform adequately most of the time. Usually those guys get banished to inactivity or shipped to the minors in favor of stalwarts like Takahashi. Curious...
