If Bill Madden’s column in today’s Daily News is to be believed, get ready for a heavy dose of Jason Marquis and Marlon Byrd at Cit Field next season. I know, it will be difficult to wipe that smile off your face. Who needs John Lackey or Jason Bay anyway.

Be honest Mets fans. As much as you’ve rightfully turned your back on this team and this season and this organization, probably many months ago, it still felt pretty satisfying to essentially put the nail in the Marlins coffin winning two of three in South Florida this past weekend...
