Of course the Bensons' are a bit miffed at the Mets org for the trade, but ultimately, it may be a beeter fit for Kyle here in Baltimore. He has a pretty good shot at bring No. 1 starter in this rotation, where he would have been 4th, third at best in New York. He's gonna be the anchor in a very young staff and first year manager is going to need a veteran presence in the clubhouse. Even if he only pitches 30 games this year and wins 10, he'll still be a maturity factor this club needs. Plus Anna is a babe... Hey, Bob

You also got rid of that psycho Anna Benson, too. May not save you any money, but the Mets got rid of one big headache. Bob, you just didn’t get rid of Kris.

The Orioles had used him as a closer before they groomed Ryan, and now they've let both go... so that should tell you something. But you're right about the Mets starting pitching. It looks thoroughly mediocre, and as impressive as Pedro Martinez can be, he's always been a 7-inning pitcher and a 5-month pitcher, and as he ages he'll be even less durable and imposing. The rest of the team looks just fine, though. And didn't the Mets sign Bret Boone to a minor league contract...? *snark* Jorge Julio has a rocket for an arm, so his main problem has to be his head.

Not just players I like, but players who are among my all-time favorites. Tom Glavine, of course. It's just all kinds of wrong that he's in a Mets uni. Please God let the Braves bring him back somehow. And now Julio Franco?!?!? His next home run will be place him in the record books as the oldest dude to ever hit a home run in the major leagues. I was hoping he'd do that with the Braves. Now it looks like he'll do that with the Mets. Good grief. (And a two-year deal?!?!?! What's whats-his-name the GM smoking? I love Julio, but two years?) Now Carlos Delgado, Paul LoDuca and Xavier Nady. It's enough to make me cry, but since there's no crying in baseball, my only option left is to hate. Yes...hate... Mmmm....I can feel spring coming....
