Interesting that this topic would come up today…. as the Mets get ripped as an organization. Memory serves that Al had a decent season for the Mets who declined to pick up his option. I’m not sure what it was ($9 million?), but Leiter believed that his option should have been picked up [...]

Heard Al on the Michael Kay show yesterday.  Apparently he was initially booed when he was introduced during the Shea Stadium ceremony.  Some fans called him a traitor for being a Yankee announcer.  Kay had some choice words for the Mets fans.  Interestingly, Leiter alluded to his devastation when he departed the Mets as a [...]

The White Sox have to win 2 games after the regular season (counting yesterday’s win), just to get to the formal post-season. First time that has ever happened in the history of  MLB, I think.

After thanking his teammates, Mussina celebrated with a can of Coke and a large container of McDonald’s french fries.

Did you watch the Mets “Shea-so long” ceremony after their game?

That’s right, baby. Done. Out of here. Goodbye. Buh-bye. C-Ya! Revenge is sweet.
And just [...]

Peter Abraham has the news on Mo:
UPDATE, 4:16 p.m.: Just spoke to Mariano Rivera. He has been been pitching with a sore shoulder all season. There is inflammation and calcification. He has been given two options: a series of injections and rehab or surgery. He has not made a decision but seems to be leaning [...]

I’m not sure what’s up with Mo at this point. He may need off season surgery just to clean out the shoulder, I don’t know. It doesn’t sound serious at least for now.
I agree philosophically on acquiring a first baseman, I’m sick of the problem too. However, we’ve essentially got [...]
