Brian Schneider hit a three run home run on Friday.Do I really have to say that?You would be right to expect that Schneider's robust home run production would drop significantly in 2009. After all, the pitcher who Schneider has hit the most home runs off became his teammate this season.That would be Tim Redding. And that home run total off him would be the robust number of 2."I'm not saying that."So who knew that Schneider would blast one off Andy Sonnanstine in the second inning on Friday ... and to the deepest part of the longest baseball cave east of San Diego?

The GB Column Doesn't Quite Lie

It's getting so bad that I'm beginning to think Brian Schneider deserves to be traded to a contender. Strangely enough, our lone power bat of the weekend actually is on a contender, through no fault of his teammates. Your depleted, disabled, demoralized, depressing New York Mets have lost 12 of 18, yet sit no more than 2 games from first place in their division. Will wonders...
