My answer is "No way" if I'm the Pirates and "Hell Yes" if I'm the Mets. So, from whose perspective are you asking the question? On your Perez-Nady question, you weren't specific enough.

But I made a post about this the other day. I read an article from the Baltimore Sun quoting the Norfolk owners and they were not happy that so many washed up veterans had appeared at Norfolk the last few years. I know I wouldn't want to pay good money to watch players like Offerman, Ledee, Gerald Williams, Lima, and DiFelice. A few of these players are OK but not when there are so many of them on the roster. I missed Cohen's comment. But I made a post about this the other day.

I guess they let him go. Glad they did. They should stop filling AAA with so many washed up veterans like him. Move the kids up. Offerman was at New Orleans most of the year. I guess they let him go.

I know you all don't like him but he isn't stupid. Alomar did a lousy job coaching at third. He gave DeFelice the stop sign so early that there was no way for him to score when he changed to a go sign. I was sitting right there and it was so obvious. El Duque was horrible all night. Thankfully he picked the Pirates to stink against. How is the view from the roof JD?? Did you get a Ralph Kiner coin? It was Kiner "Pirate Hall of Fame" tribute night for those in NYC.

No offense to DiFelice or Alomar, but you'd have to assume there would have to be better options out there in such a situation...

I guess there's a reason he is a vacation fill-in ump. That ball was never in Wilson's glove, nor was Wilson at second base when the ball came to him. Wright was safe all the way. Luckil, Mets won or that would be a much bigger story. OH yeah, what about that "transfer" call by Fairchild? I guess there's a reason he is a vacation fill-in ump.

The Red Sox were really late though, not that it matters to us. The Cubs got close, too. Good to see Alou silencing the haters, along with Willie playing Milledge in right; somehow I don't think he will be there tomorrow. The Braves were in the sixth, so not too late.

Something's gotta be up, whether he is tired or hurt or Willie just wants to give him time off. Maybe he is pitching Sosa to see what he has, knowing that Heilman and Feliciano will be more important in September and October.
