Early Morning Madness: Tied for first place edition
It's time to put Luis Castillo, Orlando Hernandez, and Moises Alou in an air conditioned bus, send them down the coast, and have them placed into Del Boca Vista Retirement Facility. Maybe the Mets could even buy them a Cadillac, a tip calculator, and one of those fancy pens that can write upside down.
