We all knew it would happen. The price of the success the Giants have enjoyed of late means your coaches, players, personnel people, everyone, become hot commodities. It is no surprise that Steve Spagnuolo was hired as a head coach by the Rams. Spags deserves it and will make a hell of a head ...

... a pinch hitter, or to spell one of their starters.
That being said, I am still optimistic particularly with the moves to bolster the Mets bullpen. All these questions can be possibly be answered in a positive manner.

Citi bailing out???
Mr Mets Daily —
... and I say if, (the Mets are denying it), Citi does back out, the Mets have a problem. It has been reported that the Wilpons have been taken for hundreds of millions by first ballot hall of fame scammer Bernie Madoff. It has also been reported that they are looking to sell an interest in the club.
The Mets may in fact be in a tough cash flow position (welcome to the club).
Forget Manny Ramirez.
