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.

How short your memory is. I doubt even Carter can boost your anemic offense
against the cub pitching.
