The New Key Met
theballclub.blogspot.com 7/11/2009 — My initial response to the Ryan Church/Jeff Francoeur deal was something to the effect of " Huh?

Why Are the Mets so Stupid?
passion4baseball.blogspot.com 7/11/2009 — It's bad enough the other team in New York goes out and picks up pitchers like Livan Hernandez and Tim Redding or thinks that Angel Pagan can still play.
