I voted Like, but here are some reasons that I think might cause someone to vote thumbs down: * The Mets are depleting their pitching depth. * It blocks Dilson Herrera. * Three years of Niese were swapped for only one year of Walker. * It means Daniel Murphy won't be coming back.

    Like; Eh wasn't a choice. I think that this is the "Eh" choice: I am indifferent toward this deal.

    With the close of all voting for Round 2.3, we now have twelve of the qualifiers for the Sweet Sixteen. It was a strong round for the Post, with three winning covers. The Daily News got one win, and Newsday was shut out. The total number of Round 2 winners to date include six from the Post, four from the News, and two from Newsday. Poll 2.3.1 AS GOOD AS IT METS (New York Post) defeated WRIGHT OFF THE BAT! (Newsday) 9 to 7. Poll 2.3.2 LARGE & IN CHARGE (New York Post) defeated INSIDE EDITION (Newsday) 11 to 5. Poll 2.3.3 YES-PEDES (Daily News) defeated THE HIGH LIFE (Daily News) 12 to 3. Poll 2.3.4 CAPITAL THRILL! (New York Post) defeated TEARS TO CHEERS! (New York Post) 8 to 7. Tentative schedule: December 25: YES-PEDES vs. LARGE & IN CHARGE December 26: CAPITAL THRILL! vs. AS GOOD AS IT METS And thus comes to a close the storied run of the Girl in the Golden Dress. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    Only one Met has ever had a walk-off triple, Cleon Jones on September 10, 1970. The Mets have lost twice on walk-off triples: Lee May of the Reds on June 24, 1968 and Jack Clark of the Giants on June 19, 1980.

    Would this mean they'd no longer be interested in Span? Or might they sign both of these guys?

    Gary Cohen has his dream job. They'll have to pry that microphone out of his cold dead hands. As for Keith, I think he enjoys his job and I also think he enjoys complaining about his job. I expect he'll be back, but part of the deal might include an obligation to do fewer games.

    I liked N.Y. CITI a lot more in the earlier rounds. I don't think I looked at it all that closely. I had thought that Granderson was photoshopped to be a monstrous presence looming over Citi Field. But now I see that it's just a picture of him in the batting cage with an image of the stadium pasted over the bottom portion of the image. Curtis makes for good covers though. His face is very expressive, at least when he's on the field. It's a different story when he's being interviewed. Then he always has that "everything's cool" crooked smile. So N.Y. CITI still gets my vote.

    It's more of a promise of intent than an ironclad guarantee.

I voted for the Post page, though, because flawed as it is, it's better than the News page. I think David Wright should be on the left side of the page and THE SHIP! should be on the right. I don't like how David is facing the edge of the page.

    I don't see how $7 million is "piddling". It's a decent chunk of a $105 million payroll.
