The only thing that bedaffles me is why Alonso is still with this team. He's just taking up space. Time to start auditioning for the future now, not August 1. He's nearing his total collapse and the Mets might as well ditch him while he still has value.

Imagine how many Mets threw games in May and how much money they and their families won!?! In one of the game threads I actually mentioned that they were throwing games, tongue in cheek somewhat. But maybe they really are.

These are the guys getting CAUGHT. Imagine how many aren't. Imagine how many are throwing games right now. This is going to be MLB's next big scandal.

This is the most underachieving team of recent memory. Nothing has clicked. Time to clean house.

Hopefully a bunch of them are going to be traded. RIP Pete, it's been fun.

Woohoo! Thanks! Still needthree more teams. The prizes do have value, the first place winner's prize is worth (or costs, at least) about $100 on average.
