It's time to put Luis Castillo, Orlando Hernandez, and Moises Alou in an air conditioned bus, send them down the coast, and have them placed into Del Boca Vista Retirement Facility.Maybe the Mets could even buy them a Cadillac, a tip calculator, and one of those fancy pens that can write upside   more...

It's been about a week now since the Adam Wainright curveball to Carlos Beltran ended the Mets season and I have to admit, I'm still not over it. It's been tough for me to watch any of the World Series games so far. There's still a curiosity factor, and I'll still check in for a score or to watch   more...
