    Tough news on Chris Young. He was really good both times I saw him.

    How can it possibly be good news? He was your best pitcher. He beat the Phillies single-handedly twice in April. Do you just want the #1 draft choice or something?

    Those rumors have no credence whatsoever. Wright will still be here at season's end.

    Not sure if this was omar or steve phillips doing. I miss them both.


    •The New York Post's Brad Hamilton reminds us that on July 1, the Mets will begin paying Bobby Bonilla $1.2MM each year for the next 25 years. New York struck that deal in 1999 to avoid paying the $5.9MM remaining on his contract when they released him.

    That's a 7.6% interest rate. No wonder they're bankrupt. :lol:

    Don't look now: the Mets have won in 17 of their last 26.

    Back to .500 w/a bunch of ir-regulars. Justin Turner is a really nice surprise.

    EINHORN IS A MAN.

    The Mets new owner is essentially the guy who took down Wall Street and the economy with it. Pretty fitting.

    And I know it was only a matter of time but Einhorn really sped the process up.

    And yes, that is the first thing I thought of too, JP. Einhorn, Finkle. Finkle, Einhorn.
