With Moises Alou and Marlon Anderson on the Disabled List, the Mets desperately reached down to Double-A Binghamton and brought up Nick Evans, the first Met born in 1986, stuck him in left field and he doubled three times in his first game, driving in two runs and making a bunch of catches as the Mets broke a five-game losing streak in Colorado.

Nick Evans in a Nutshell
Comments
Re: Nick Evans in a Nutshell
What, no mention of his extensive managerial career?
It's good they named a former player. He'll be able to relate to the guys. Man, does he have the pulse of this team down! You show em, Nicky! Kick that dirt! Wow, none of our managers ever made the playoffs in his first season. Not even Gil! Just because we watch Greys Anatomy doesn't mean we're doctors. He knows his players better than we do. They HAVE to offer him an extension, or just get rid of him. Otherwise he's a lame duck. Gwon, man! Get out there and kick some dirt! Ouch, that's cruel: "WILPONS TO MANAGER- DROP DEAD" Dude, is that Nick Evans doing the pregame show on ESPN6? Re: Nick Evans in a Nutshell

will he go in as a Met?
Re: Nick Evans in a Nutshell
I'd have been more excited if Fox Sports hadn't kept mentioning that the last guy to do all the cool things Evans did in his MLB debut was Kaz Matsui.
(Don't get me wrong, I was still pretty excited.) Re: Nick Evans in a Nutshell

I don't think it's true, but if Nick Evans is gay, so what? That's his own business.

This post needs to be a t-shirt. A floor-length one, if necessary. (Hey, I'd wear it!)

Savor the moment. Even if it was only a brief respite. Nick Evans served up a fine cathartic brew today.
Evans played at Bing last night. Had to have changed planes somewhere to get to Denver. Evans was running on p!ss and vinegar. Re: Re: Nick Evans in a Nutshell

From Newsday -
The past 24 hours were anything but normal for Evans, who was pulled from leftfield in Binghamton with one out in the ninth Friday night. At first he thought it was because he botched a fly ball earlier in the game that turned into an inside-the-park home run. After B-Mets manager Mako Olivares told him he got the call - Marlon Anderson went down Friday with a strained left hamstring - Evans took a connecting flight through Detroit in the morning that got him to Denver by 10:10 a.m. for the 1:55 p.m. start. When the wide-eyed Evans arrived, he looked as if he had been summoned from Little League, not the Eastern League. "It's about time you showed up," closer Billy Wagner yelled from a clubhouse table. "We've been waiting." The bewildered Evans, who had yet to sleep or eat since Friday's call, slipped on a batting- practice jersey with the No. 6 and stood there half-dressed before assistant general manager Tony Bernazard, the vice president of player development, went over to check on him at his locker. "You ready?" Bernazard asked. Said Evans, "I don't have any pants yet." Re: Re: Re: Nick Evans in a Nutshell

I can't believe Nick Evans told that reporter he'd "show him Scarsdale."

I can't believe Nick Evans signed with the Yankees.
After all those years as a Met he should know better. Re: Nick Evans in a Nutshell

Nick Evans Conflagrates In Media Firestorm!
Seriously, though, what a great day for that kid. Coming up from AA and hitting three doubles in his first big game. |
