All with shoulder and elbow related problems. His mechanics are worse than those of Ambiorix Burgos when Burgos pitched for Kansas City. His delivery is so bad that it physically causes him injury. Any guy like that might as well be labelled a bust. If not for the emergence of Lindstrom, I would call the trade a wash.

If he is even average the Mets won that deal as Lindstrom will be good, but hes a righty and Owens was a bust (shocker there) Did we get Bostick along with Vargas in the deal for Lindstrom/Owens?

The last thing that needs to happen to the Mets is for one of our guys to slip in the outfield and pop a hammy or twist a knee.

If Castillo plays tonight, his quad may become fossilized. Alou also should be nowhere near the park. Not that rumor. . . .

I think I need to go back through my old stubs and make some cash. I can't imagine someone buying a stub for a game they didn't go to, but I will definitely try now. Thanks. Really??
