Funny scene in the clubhouse this morning. David Wright creating a shrine to bullpen coach Guy Conti above the empty locker between him and Jose Reyes. Actually, it was just a framed photo of Conti, but it was amusing to watch Wright try to hammer in the tack. First, he tried Reyes' cell phone (not so good). Then, Wright grabbed a sneaker (the rubber sole was useless). Finally, Jose Valentin yelled over, "Why don't you try a bat?" Stunningly, that worked and the photo was up moments later. Conti chuckled.

In roster news, the Mets signed Fernando Tatis to a minor-league contract this morning. The 32-year-old third baseman was released by the Dodgers earlier this week.

Do you have a picture of the shrine that would be classic to see.
Dude, that was the lamest blog post ever.
Interesting: Fernando Tatis?
He's the only MLB player ever to hit two grand slams in the same inning: April 23, 1999, for St. Louis at Dodger Stadium.
And which Dodger pitcher gave up both slams? Chan Ho Park.
