R.I.P. George Steinbrenner

[Pete]

Yeah, it was Jennry Meija. I think he's bounced up and down before, but I'm not 100% sure.
As for the Mets getting people past their prime, I suggest you guys read Moneyball, if you haven't already. It's funny because it mentions Minaya back when he was the Expos GM, and how Billy Beane tried to screw him over back in 01 or 02. Most of the players the book focused on, became Mets shortly after the book was written. Of course, this was after they were too expensive or too useless to the A's.

And yeah, I'm pissed that Big Pelf didn't make it too! How does Omar Infante make it as a backup, and Pelf, one of the best pitchers this season not? I'm calling shenanigans! Also, what was with 8 Yanks and 8 Red Sox being on the team. That's a little overkill.

Ahh George what can I say. He was a god among, and a credit to the sport. He will greatly be missed.

I was able to watch whatever games I wanted until I moved away from Virginia in June. With no cable where I'm at now, I wasn't able to watch a game until the All-Star Game. The LAST thing I expected was to find out Steinbrenner died. I'm not a Yankees fan by any means (I go for the other end of the win-loss spectrum...go Diamondbacks!), but that news really bummed me out.
