A Death in the Family

When someone you love dies, and you’re not expecting it, you feel cheated. You didn’t get to say goodbye. It’s not fair… You feel lost and hollow inside. At night you lie in bed clutching her pillow close to you because you could still faintly smell her. It comforts you until the morning sun reminds you that she’s really gone.

Mets News: Santana, Hawkins, Dice-K and Feliciano Head To Free Agency

In the biggest non-story of the day, the Mets plan to decline the $25 million option on Johan Santana and will pay the $5.5 million buyout instead. There’s still a chance that they could bring back Santana this winter on a one-year deal, but don’t count on it. It’s most likely that Johan has pitched his final game with the Mets.

Here’s what some of our guys had to say: John Bernhardt: Jeff Walters had a breakout season for the B-Mets in Binghamton.

Torres Spins Quality Start, But Mets Offense Falters In 4-2 Loss To Milwaukee

The Milwaukee Brewers (72-87) defeated the New York Mets (73-86) by the score of 4-2 tonight at Citi Field.
