But what the Mets have now may have as good a chance of coming through in October as they would with anybody may be able to realsitcally obtain --- be he Barry Zito, Juan Brito, or Pedro Beato. I loathe to say it, but some of those late nineties Yankee teams had good staffs. Especially after 97 when they knew they had Rivera.
="OlerudOwned"]El Duque gets Orlando Palmiero to retire the side and end is outing. Palmiero is familiar to me soley because he was my weak hitting bench player for the World Champion Twins on Major League Baseball featuring Ken Griffey Jr. That's the good stuff. I was sick at that game.
Actually I think we are only 20 over now. The standings on 3 different sites say 58-38. The 59-38 record I'm only seeing in the box score in the Schaefer thread for yesterday's game.
When Pedro comes back, I want a rotation of Pedro, Glavine, Traxx, Pelfrey, and Maine. Ducky to the pen. Or AAA. Yes, I felt that way before yesterday's game.
Is this the first time we hit 21 over .500 this year? Edit: Hmmm, we're actually only 20 over. The boxscore from Yahoo had a record of 59-38 showing under the NY, which is what confused me.
