Stupidity is." So the Yankees may be right. Both they and the Mets are getting us to subsidize their unnecessary ballparks that will raise ticket prices and lower available seats.

Though I would not want the Mets to have to deal with what the Yanks are going through with 20 straight days of baseball. I guess it works out though, since I have to write a paper tonight anyway.

Very nice. Did you do it yourself? If you are as young as your site says you are you are too young be living in the past. The best Met bullpen was before your time in 86 when we had a lefty closer and a righty closer (Orosco and McDowell). NYMETSGRRL94:

It gives the Red Sox as much publicity as it gives the new stadium. They had workers breaking up concrete for four hours looking for the jersey. So it doesn't seem like they knew exactly where it was. I don't think they concocted it. I think a Red Sox fan really planted it in there. Why would the Yankees pull a prank like this?

I don't think Willie is the right manager for this team, but he ain't what's wrong w/ Jorge Sosa. Scott from Pelham,

I like him a lot. I understand Jorge Sosa needs to be up here and all due to his ability to go a lot of innings, but to put it plain and simple, Jorge Sosa STINKS. He had a flash of brilliance last year, and since then has shown nothing but the inability to put guys away. I wish they could have the Darren Oliver/Chad Bradford performance of 2006 every year. It was such a commodity that we didn't realize at the time. Hopefully, though, Duaner can regain some of his 2006 form. We will see Muniz again this year. I promise it.

I mean working at the new stadium is a plum union job. With money that good I really do not think it would matter what team the guy roots for. I bet if you ask the guys working at the new stadium more than a few are Met fans and the same at Citi Field more than a few are Yankee fans. For those guys a good job is what it is all about. Mets / Yanks is all secondary. John you are right the whole thing stinks. I mean working at the new stadium is a plum union job.

The way Willie uses him is. Is Sosa A long man or 7th inning guy ? Sosa has already done both this year. Willie's lack of a set role for him is the real problem. JM: Sosa is not a problem.

When Wise comes back, who goes down? Can't be anyone but Joe Smith, no? I think that would be unfortunate b/c he has so much more promise than Jorge Sosa, but they will keep him in the pen b/c 1) he makes big league money; and 2) he is the only long man.

The Yanks were up front about it. Pretty cheap shot by you to pan a guy when his old man is in critical condition. As for the jersey, they get free publicity and the Sox will fans are gonna pay a ton for it to raise money for the Jimmy fund. Delcos, I think the Mets and the dentist is too much for any human being. You need tomorrow off. Uh, mettsgrrl, The Mets didn't let the world know Feliciano left until it was an issue.
