[eat this, mr. bow-tie]

Ok, ok, I know that the Mets need more hitters,
but where the heck did they come up with the bright idea of
getting Howard Johnson? Who the hell Is Howard Johnson, and is
he worth a Walt Terrell? What's weirdest of all is that Johnson,
besides being the only Detroit Tiger kept out of the World Series
because "it would make him too nervous (!)," is an
infielder, for god's sake. Who needs more infielders? The Mets just
let Brian Giles and Junior Ortiz go for nothing (I know,
Ortiz is a catcher).
I would think that Huibe Brooks and Ray Knight are more than
enough! Plus Santana and Oquendo and Gardenhire. Nope, I can't see this
Johnson trade unless Cashen has something up his sleeve in terms of
another trade. Is it true the Phillies are looking to unload
Bo Diaz? Now there's someone the Mets could use!

Grumbles -
The Chicago Slugs resigned Steve Trout - too bad. It appears
they are close to resigning Sutcliffe. Oh well, at least
the St. Louis Deadbirds lost Bruce Sutter (nice movie white rat)
and probably any hopes they had for contending over the next
few years. Neil Allen will never be another Sutter. Neil Allen
for Keith Hernandez. Gloat Gloat Chuckle!
