lay off the eggnog
one title in 80 plus years does not entitle you fans to brag as you do

Why can't he brag? All of New England did the year before. It was great that both of these areas finally got some glory after all their heartache.
Now that Chicago has a title, maybe the Giants can get on with winning one for the City by the Bay.

Are you saying the White Sox have done better to date in deals than the Mets because that is what sox is saying

Mets also getting there C and 2b as understand they have reached agreement with Paul Lo Duca and Mark Grudzelenik
TR - no, that is not what I'm saying. I just think it is humorous that you seem to take exception with his evaluation. I agree that the Mets have probably done more to buy a pennant contender than anyone, but look what that has gotten the Yankees lately.
I think one of the greatest things going on in baseball over the last five years is Arizona, Anaheim, Florida, Boston and Chicago all winning the series. While they all improved themselves through free agency, it shows you don't have to go to the excess of either New York team to get to the World Series. I expect that while both New York teams will compete throughout the season, we shouldn't be surprised if neither is in the fall classic again this year.

Did I just hear Chris Berman correctly? He just said on Sunday Night Football that the Mets have now signed Paul LoDuca to replace Mike Piazza! Yikes!!

One never knows today who will win what
As for sox's evaluation, I call it a "blind statement" because the Sox have only added a solid hitter if he is healthy and gave up their starting CF to do it. Not really helping them other than Thome supposedly having a lot to do with Konerko returning
Yes the Mets have landed LoDuca and I hear there is more info to come this week

Personally, I think the Marlins are doing quite well in the off-season.................NOT!
Thinking bout canceling season tix but love baseball too much!

I must admit,especially with Mr. Chemistry (LoDuca) the Mets have improved the most so far.
But.....they ain't no White Sox!
200+ Home Runs...adding Thome to hit more..with the best staff in baseball and a future super star (Brian Anderson) to play center....Whew!

So where's Piazza going?....Fishing?
The Mets are on fire!
Anyone care to get a jump on season tickets and split a package with me for the 2008 New Jersey Marlins?????

I'd say that Piazza will go to some AL team. Solely to do some DHing.
Don't understand why the Mets would give up their top rated pitching prospect for Lo Duca at 34 when Molina or Hernandez
(both younger) are available via free agency. Salary wise Lo Duca will cost slightly less then what Molina/Hernandez are asking but you would get a younger/better C and keep your top prospect. I don't get this one unless Molina/Hernadez have already told the Mets they aren't interested.
