Marlon Byrd Dealt On Marlon Byrd T-Shirt Night

Oops. The New York Metropolitans put a little bit of a crimp in tonight's "Marlon Byrd T-Shirt Night" in Flushing Meadows. You see, the Mets traded Marlon Byrd to the Pirates this afternoon for a minor leaguer. The shirt even had Byrd's signature "Let It Fly" motto emblazoned on the front. They let him "fly" all right! No word on whether the Mets PR Staff will turn it into "Marlon Byrd Appreciation Night-With Commemorative T-Shirt". After all, he did hit 21 HRs for New York this year. Oh, well, it could be worse for the former Red Sox player. Wait, how?
