While wasting time on sporcle, I noticed that the Los Angeles Dodgers Opening Day Lineup in 1991 had a very Met-ly look: CF Brett Butler 2B Juan Samuel RF Darryl Strawberry 1B Eddie Murray LF Kal Daniels 3B Lenny Harris C Mike Scioscia SS Alfredo Griffin P Tim Belcher That's five of nine. My challenge to you (and I don't know if there is an answer to this) scour all box scores you can get your hands on and get me an opponents' starting lineup that has five or more one-time Mets.

How much of a wild card is Beltran? He could be injured and miss the whole season, he could play the whole season and hit .260 with single-digit HR's, or he could win the NL MVP. I guess this is true of all ballplayers, but if Beltran did any of these it would only be mildly surprising.

I appreciate the efforts to find a silver lining here, and maybe in a few years, this will bite the Phils in the ass, but for the next two or three years, this sucks royally for the Mets. Thank goodness for the Wild Card.
I'm with Luke Scott on this gun thing. In fact, I think everyone should be packing heat. Starting first and foremost with the deer that Luke is shooting at. Hunting is the only sport I know where one team has guns and the other team doesn't realize they're playing. I also completely agree with his justification of shooting deer because they have no natural predator. Other things without natural predators: Yankees. Yankee fans. Republicans. Justin Bieber.
