Thank you Marlon Byrd

Marlon Byrd's had a career year, a comeback year. He led the Mets with 21 home runs (a career high) and 71 runs batted in.

Yesterday, the Mets traded Byrd and catcher John Buck to the Pittsburgh Pirates.

I was a bit bummed, but understand the reasoning. I'm also happy for Marlon. He has the chance to make this an even more memorable season.

In his debut, Byrd hit a three run homer in the bottom of the seventh leading to his first curtain call. The Pirates went on to beat the Brewers 7-1.

Let's go Pirates.
