I specifically remember my mom waking me up (it was a school night) to tell me that the Mets had won. What could be better for a 2nd grader than that?

Why would any free agent sign with the Mets with the perception that we completely mismanage our players' health?

I can't imagine either side will do it again.

If the game Friday gets washed out, does Niese make Saturday's start or do they just keep the rotation the same? (I ask since I'm going on Saturday for the first time.)

Josh Johnson was dominant, and on a day like he had today, there's no team that would have been able to get after him. While I certainly didn't like the outcome, it was nice to see an extremely well pitched game. Great baseball.

Here in Rochester, NY, some of us are headed over to Acme on Monroe Ave. You know, just in case anyone from Rochester still was looking for a place to watch the game. I can guarantee healthy doses of beer, Mets love and Phillies bashing. And good pizza.

That's a big honor for him. While it would have been cool to see Santana throw it out, I think it's cool that a good, homegrown guy is doing it.

It ties in with your e-mail address, so you should be able to use it anywhere it's implemented.

But, when you talk about intangibles, I think Marlon's a better team guy, and that's more important for this club.
