Lines: 27 [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! A puzzled Matt Kaufman 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!
