Swept Away Again — Disgusting

Hmmm… what next genius move will emanate from Mets’ ownership? Perhaps the promotion of Josh Thole or Wilmer Flores. My God, what farther depths will we sink to this season?

Thoughts After A Lost Weekend

Watching the Mets this past weekend ranked slightly above the on goings with the Kardashian Clan, but below C-Span.

NL East Report

Atlanta Braves: (5-5; -4) The Braves lost two of three to the Washington Nationals, and will travel to Chicago to play a three-game series with the Cubs. Brian McCann was the only Brave added to the All-Star-Team. The Braves are looking for anyone with interest in dreadful OF Jeff Francoeur, but other teams are avoiding him as if he has swine flu.
