It's not really that stunning. Old-ass and young starters who can't even be counted on to go six most nights + bullpen lacking rubber-armed innings eaters = late-season collapse. Delgado being a big giant hole in the middle of the lineup didn't help either, nor did the rash of outfield injuries. Still, it's not over until it's over, as the Cardinals proved last year.

Lupica apparently said that on FAN today. It's not entirely Willie's fault, but somebody's gotta go after something like this, and it's not going to be Minaya ... this year.

For the record, I am going to see the Mets play the Marlins tomorrow.

Well, here is your medal for being right. Congratulations. I hope you enjoy it when Willis is pitching for us next year!

With the simple gift of one Yellow Submarine DVD, I have turned both my nephew and niece into Beatles fanatics.

They are good, I think.

Mets fans and Red Sox fans are united in our mutual, deep-seated hatred of the Yankees. And here is a draft of a letter I am writing. Dear Omar Minaya, Fred Wilpon and Willie Randolph, WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF!?!?!?!?!? Yours truly, bjorn

It'll be interesting to see how it turns out. I'll tell you, though, if I did a story of that magnitude based on documents that turned out to be false, I would sharpen up my pica pole, write my death poem and disembowel myself.

I still say that even if the media jumped up and down in 2002 saying there were no WMD in Iraq, nothing would have changed. The war would have happened and people would have supported it.

Hey, maybe we should invade, and have a regime change, and make their country into a democ - oh, oops.

Best wishes on your special day!

"And lettin' you know!"

Hmm. Seems a bit suspect to me, like MLB was trying to set up a "potential playoff preview" thing.

Is this a makeup? I thought all teams are playing in their division now.

Heh. We

I know I watched this show, but I do not remember a damned thing about it.

Back in the '80s, he could just glare at a bassoon and it would play itself!

Perhaps John was on to something when he said the Beatles were bigger than Jesus. They've certainly put out more albums than He.

Three-quarters of a million dollars is a lot of money to spend to make a point, but rock on.

Long live rock, be it dead or alive!

And Levon Helm holds concerts in his basement, I am told.

I have it on good information that Garth Hudson will talk your ear off if you let him.
