The Mets pulled out a win today, despite some technical snafus with the audio that made Gary, Keith and Ron sound like they were gurgling salt water. "Playing for Peanuts" airs in less than an hour - I hope the audio is fixed by then. Here is your Peanut-flavored random update: Mike Silva wonders why SNY is burying "Playing for Peanuts." Productive Outs asks, "Where's Wally?" Meanwhile, I tried to set the record straight this morning. Wally Backman has burned no bridges in New York but SNY continues to spread rumors to the contrary.
