Farrell and Pena

The Mets tied their series last night at 2 games apiece with a resounding 12-5 win. They'll go again tonight at 8:19 and hopefully NY will have a 3-2 lead when it's over.

John Farrell is officially Boston's new pitching coach.

From Ian Browne, in the Mailbag: My personal opinion is that Pena needs to take some more strides defensively before he can be considered an everyday player, particularly in right field.

I've been saying that almost verbatim for months now. Ahh, validation.
