In a post to Fan Graphs, Eric Seidman explains why Aaron Heilman is not likely to finish the season the way he has started.

According to David Lennon, at his blog for Newsday, Fernando Tatis reminds him of a famous cartoon superhero.

In a report for FOXSports.com, Dayn Perry lists Carlos Delgado among 10 players who are not earning their paycheck.

According to the Star Tribune, the Twins picked up LHP Craig Breslow, who went to my high school in Trumbull, CT, where my brother-in-law is now the varsity manager and in the third round of the State Tournament.

Lastly, congratulations to Shannon Forde, the Mets director of media relations, who gave birth this morning to her son Nicholas.

Did Chris Drury go to Trumbull? Or was his baseball prowess limited to the national stage of the LL World Series?

The Mets should sign him, just for his ability to effin win.

You went to Trumbull High School, Matt? Nice! I just taught there this year. Great school.

I went to Bunnell HS in nearby Stratford, class of 1998.

Mets fans in CT are a rare and noble breed. =)

“In a post to Fan Graphs, Eric Seidman explains why Aaron Heilman is not likely to finish the season the way he has started”"

Could this be because Aaron Heilman has been a top middle reliever for 3 years and his start was just so dreadful that it is completely obvious he will improve?

How many media relations directors do the Mets have?

ToastyJoe May 29, 2008 at 5:36 pm

All of them.

Senator Jesus Braunschweiger May 29, 2008 at 5:56 pm

I can’t believe this trade.

What do the Mets need another media relations director for?

All they got is media relations directors.

Shannon Forde is just Jay Horowitz’ drag name.

Tatís does so totally look like Mighty Mouse!!

I think they should play Mighty Mouse’s theme music when he steps to the plate instead of Superman’s.
