I've never even seen him pitch, but I already hate Joba Chamberlin.

Rick Ankiel's return as a position player is without a doubt one of the best stories of the past few years.

When was the last time Billy Wagner had a 1-2-3 inning?

Last week's series in Philadelphia was more depressing than a Smiths album.

Second best quote of the week:  “Who's pitching?  Jose Mesa?“  - Keith Hernandez after noticing that the Marlins had hit back to back home runs against the Phillies.

Best quote of the week: “I take it back.” - Keith Hernandez after being reminded of Jose Mesa's continued attempts to bean Omar Vizquel after Vizquel criticized his performance in Game 7 of the 1997 World Series.

If Guillermo Mota has a second consecutive good outing I see a Dixie cup in his immediate future.

I don't care if he has any real talent, but Alfredo Amezaga needs to play for the Mets one day.

It would be really nice for the Mets to make the playoffs in a year the Yankees did not.

Is there anything we can do to help the Mariners?

And we all wanted to see Phil Humber pitch on Saturday.   Go figure.

Someone should come to Shea with this sign.

If Pedro Martinez struggles this afternoon, 2 to 1 tomorrow's back pages read: “Labor Day.”

I'm no rocket scientist, but after hitting 41 home runs against us isn't it about time someone put one in Pat Burrell's ribs?

If anyone on the Mets ever poses for a picture like this, I quit. 

If my wife finds that picture on my desktop I'm going to have a lot of explaining to do.
