Meet the Mets
Toby Hyde gives us a quick update on the status of Met prospects in the AFL. First, the hitters. Then the pitchers.
MLB Trade Rumors believes that the Mets are likely to end up with Matt Holliday, Randy Wolf, and Brad Penny in their free agent shopping cart.
Let's reminisce about 40 years of Sesame Street with a Ron Darling guest appearance.
Around the NL East
The Phillies are clearing house a little, declining Pedro Feliz's $5 million option.
Shane Victorino gives us another reason to hate him: Jon Gosselin.
Washington also got rid of some dead weight.
Whatever the Marlins got for Jeremy Hermida was pretty underwhelming.
Around MLB
Jon Stewart congratulates the Yankees appropriately.
Victor Zambrano's mother was kidnapped from his home in Venezuela. Not cool.
Yankee fans, in their overflowing excitement from having to wait 9 years for a World Series, threw confidential documents in the ticker tape parade when the confetti ran out.
Ken Griffey Jr. might be back in Seattle next season.
Joe Girardi might have to wrestle Shelley Duncan to get the #28.

Can you tell me how to get.....
Oh, the 86 mets and Seasame street can it get any better. Be sure to check out Mookie Wilson and Keith Hernandez teaching the count how to hit.

And then teaching the count how to hit after doing life threatening amounts of coke.

By the way
I am still laughing at your comment. I can’t imagine how much of a trip that would be to be coked out while talking to the Count.

I heard that when Jerry heard about Thole's line...
he decided that Joshua will bat third next season.

Ahh, Victorino and Gosselin.
They’re perfect together, aren’t they?
Beer is good! And stuff!

That Dick Torino character
Just gets more awesome by the day, doesn’t he?

Pedro Feliz
is a good looking man. his plus mug could go a long way in replacing delgado’s (aesthetic) power.

The Phillies will re-sign him, just at a much more reasonable contract. He wasn't exactly putting up numbers in Philly to justify that money.

Stuff
It’s about time the Nats cut Austin Kearns. I mean, seriously.
How many players from Venezuela, over the past year or two, have had family members kidnapped, or killed? Geeze…
For sentimental reasons, it’d be nice to see Ken Griffey Jr. back in Seattle again next year, but I don’t know if they’d really be willing to have him in their line-up. He was pretty underwhelming.

What do people think about Kearns?
He might be a nice buy-low guy. His hitting seems to have fallen off a cliff, but he couldn’t get regular bats in Washington. From 06-08 UZR loved his defense. He at least seems like a much more viable RF than Frenchy.

I don't know...At least Francoeur isn't much of an injury risk.
Assuming that he can have a season where he plays 150+ games or so, I wouldn’t mind him all that much. Not at the contract he used to have, though. Definitely not.

Metsblog is reporting a possible 3-way trade involving the Mets
Castillo to the Cubs; Milton Bradley to Toronto; and Lyle Overbay to the Mets. Presumably, we then go out and sign Orlando Hudson to replace Castillo ast 2B.
What say you?
