Christ Almighty, It's David Newhan
Faith and Fear in Flushing —

theropolitans.com 8/24/2008 — I don't want to be the team's excuse maker, but Wallace Matthews, the most miserable man in sports writing, is at it again. His latest article, " Let's hope listless Mets aren't back again " does not fail to get my blood boiling.
