I recall when the cubs made some shrewd trades last year the mets jumped up and down screaming its not fair, the cubs went out and bought a pennant. Now that the shoe is on the other foot, everything is ok. I see where you are coming from. Well, at least your not pretending to condemn the Mets behaviour while gloating inside. In any case, you'll have to forgive me for not congradulating the mets on their crime(trade theft) and wishing the mets the best of luck. Rather I'll call the expos ignorant fools. >If I were pitching for another NL team, I would take a high colonic before >I went to the mound. . . . How short your memory is. I doubt even Carter can boost your anemic offense against the cub pitching.
