Mets Beaten By a Boy Named Kelly
You had to know a grand slam was coming. You could look around, notice they were playing in Atlanta (if you had the privilege of watching).

The blog for Mets fans who can read

It looks like the Clemens case might just turn on how well Brian McNamee knows Rodger's ass.According to some leaking lawyer, McNamee had told investigators that Clemens developed an abscess on his buttocks around the time that McNamee said he was giving him steroid injections during the 1998 season....

Spring has Sprung
ESPN's Jayson Stark has an article wasting time on washed-up Tomahawk Chop Glavine. Glavine bashing is like my spring training. I got to warm up with some light ripping on an easy target before I go all out and lite into Mr. Derek "Every kind of Mo" Jeter and whatever that is on his head.I'd say "bl...

Oh my Darling Oh my Darling Clemens Lying
Marx wrote that history repeats itself, first time as tragedy, second time as farce, and I'm having a hard time figuring what time it is.
