Edgy MD--I'm familiar with the players on the IL mostly. Most of the guys in last night's game were total strangers--I used to follow the Mets closely, but in the last few years, not nearly so much. Haven't followed MLB in general so much in recent years, but down here all I can get on cable --or all I choose to get, the standard cable package--is Marlins and Rays and the occasional ESPN game, so I no longer have a lot of attachment to many of the Mets or even a clear picture of who they are. That's why this weekend is a big deal to me--I'm recording all three games, attending one, and joining this Forum in the hope of getting more current.
