That dubious honor belongs to the 2003 team who gave up 20 runs in a game against the Trenton Thunder [...]

Or I could make up a few questions from imaginary readers….hmmmm maybe I will. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Petey:  Our first Mets minor league mailbag question comes from little Timmy in Binghamton, NY. Lil’ Timmy asks: Timmy:  Hey yo [...]
