It’s ridiculous that the epic grudge match that looms between the Mets and Joe Smith isn’t enough for this guy.  The hype leading up to that series will be unparalleled.

Not only that, a guy I did my residency with in 2001 is a Mets fan.  We attended a game together in in Cleveland where the Mets pulled it out when Milton Bradley barely missed a home run (I’m sure you all remember).  There’s been 8 years of pent up aggression over it.  I’ll be waiting for Rubin’s call if he needs to interview me for another good storyline.

Funny that the commenters on the NBC site were using Aaron’s words as gospel when Aaron said the “list” should be released and Craig had to talk them down. 

Now Aaron says that Bonds is the true homerun king and Craig uses his words to convince people of that opinion.

About Arroyo’s comments regarding drunk driving:

While it’s pretty obvious that DUI (alcohol division) is a bad plan, we might want to avoid shooting the messenger; that was a report, not a recommendation.

Also, while it’s always nice to be able to pat oneself on the back, it’s not at all clear that cracking down on boozers behind the wheel will suffice. Dock Ellis claimed to have pitched a no-hitter whilst on LSD, but I wonder how he would have done if he’d been texting from the mound.

As with the half-fast “approaches” to the problem of Performance Enhancement in baseball, it might be better if we fished a little deeper.

What I want is an over-under on the sentence the beer-guy gets.  More or less time served than Donte’ Stallworth got for killing someone?
