Meet the Mets
Looks like the Manny Acta to the Mets rumor just won't die.
Matthew Artus writes about the possibility of the Islanders moving next to Citi. Eminent domain is a powerful thing.
Tony Bernazard won't spend too much time on unemployment; he is close to signing a contract to work with Scott Boras.
Philadelphia's Kobe Bryant grew up a Met fan. Go figure.
Keith Law heaps some praise on Jenrry Mejia.
Around the NL East
Is Charlie Manuel just flat out-managing Joe Torre?
It is a little strange seeing Chad Billingsley doing mop-up duty.
The Marlins are looking at former National pitching coach and Rob Dibble fav Randy St. Claire.
Around MLB
Bobby Valentine is among the finalists for the Cleveland Indians job. I honestly didn't even know he was a candidate. This, however, would definitely make the Indians my AL team. It would also make this movement a little late.
Lookout Landing takes on the playoff umpiring so far.

Bernazard + Boras
Holy crap. We’re toast.

last professional sports team to win 4 straight championships
it must hurt that a team that’s been pathetic for about 95% of their existence still has their name engraved on the Stanley Cup the same number of times as the “storied” Rangers ;)

Philly can have Kobe
And they can keep the sterling journalism of Teresa Masterson, for her oh-so-hilarious joke that rooting for the Mets is worse than nonconsensual sex. You stay classy, Philadelphia.

Here's what funny
The fact that this so-called accomplished writer makes rooting for the Mets while in Philadelphia sound like a criminal offense. Funny how she doesn’t mention that nearly half of the Phils fans in the Delaware Valley region also root for the Dallas Cowboys. Hypocrisy at its best!

My eyes just hurt really bad.
Why would you put this one up? Please no more!
If pretentious ass-kissing of hometown team by a professional journalist were a crime, Stark would receive a severe death penalty.

With Peter Gammons sitting by his side.

Only if he were administering Stark his last rites.

This is Gold.
At the Mets shop at MLB.com, if you click on Best Sellers down at the bottom, the only product that comes up is a bloopers DVD.

The comedians at MLB.com must have rigged this.

Luis Castillo and Orlando Hudson
Only one of these 2B lost his job to Ronnie Belliard, and it wasn’t Luis Castillo.
Also, why is the ALCS on a real channel (yes, I know Fox’s broadcasters are horrible, but still) and the NLCS on crappy-ass TBS?

b/c nobody gives a crap about any team that's not the Yankees or the Red Sox?

I was wondering about this and since you brought it up
Did Hudson kill Torre’s dog or something? Does anybody know why Belliard is starting in place of Hudson?
If there's ever a riot at Citi Field and Oliver Perez was the starter, I started the riot.

Sigh
Rollins hits a cockshot from Broxton to win the game and the gritty, feisty Phillies are handed yet another game. Good job, Jonathan.

I hate Broxton
like, almost as much as I hate our relievers. And that’s hard to accomplish. How the hell do you walk Matt f-ing Stairs, he of the .196 batting average?

Walk to Stairs
Was the most confusing thing in baseball last night.
