SNY’s Ted Berg, of Ted Quarters, explains why it is pretty obvious that Omar Minaya and Jim Hendry are looking for a ‘sucker.’
In a post to Always Amazin, Matthew Artus points out that Shea Stadium makes an appearance in the film Old Dogs.
Will, of Blue and Orange, uses words to explain why, “Words can’t adequately express the abysmal feeling of impending doom within me when considering the Mets potential off-season transactions.”

Ed Coleman, on his blog for WFAN.com, discusses whether the Mets should pursue Sheets, as well as Jon Garland, in addition to John Lackey.
