I honestly make a concious choice not to watch the Cubs or Sox very often. It just doesn’t interest me. Mets take up all my time a sanity.

Other than what I see on the highlight shows, I have not seen Fokudome much. But with what I have seen, I am quite comfortable with Ryan Church instead.

I can’t stand Zambrano. I’m just waiting for spousal allegations and the concurrent crime scene photo of him drinking red bull in a wife beater at the scene of the crime.

Honestly, who fights their own catcher for pitching like a hump. He is a hothead…

Pagan has been coming back down to earth a bit offensively, and on Saturday he really did misplay a ball that could have led to a big inning if Heilman didn’t shut the door. In addition to the #s, my guess is until Alou gets back, Willie might start playing Pagan exclusively against lefties, with Endy getting some more PT.

Still prefer Church in the #2 spot, not because I hate Castillo but because I actually like Castillo hitting lower in the order clearing the pitcher’s spot.

it was so close in 2003. Unfortunately Grady Little/Aaron Boone/Pedro & Alou/Bartman/Alex Gonzalez/Prior decided to mess it all up. What an awesome World Series that would have been. By the way, until I just looked it up, I had completely forgotten that it was Luis Castillo who hit the Bartman ball. I guess once upon a time he DID have enough power to hit the ball to the outfield on a fly. Also, is it any wonder we collapsed last year when we have so many players who were involved in those epic chokes in 2003?

interesting points, I didn’t know that. ok then, I’ll look at it that way: maybe this juices their sticks a bit.

can everyone go to mets.com and look at the picture of carlos zambrano? He adds a whole other dimension to the phrase “pig-headed.” I thought I had a big dome.
