The Assassin's Circle: SoSG Alex Cora Comes Calling, Too

Found September 12, 2009 on Sons of Steve Garvey:
PLAYERS: Alex Cora
TEAMS: New York Mets

If you're going to play a game with assassins, don't screw up the prize mention, or you're going to get killed... And so it is that SoSG Alex Cora deserves front and center mention, because it was he (and Mrs. Cora) who procured the Mannywood shirt that Assassin's Circle winner Fred's Brim will receive. SoSG Sax should have taken no credit for this gift. My mistake. Apologies, SoSG Cora! Can I get unchained from this water heater now, please? Fred's Brim, you know where to send your thank you note!

However...

The New York Mets Need To Consider Carlos Delgado for 2010

Via Bleacher Report  |  September 11, 2009
At the start of the season, it appeared that 2009 would most definitely be Carlos Delgado's last season in the Big Apple. As we wrap up the final month of the season, Delgado appears to be as good as gone, especially after missing a majority of the 2009 season after undergoing hip surgery. However, the idea of bringing back Delgado to the Mets organization has to at least be considered...
