Being able to see the Mets only at Busch stadium or on network/Cardinal TV (Someday, St. Louis will have cable), I saw the Mets win none of their games at Busch in the second half of the season, and very few at Shea during that period. I don't recall exactly, but if the Mets could have split their games with the Cards last year, they would have won the division. > kept us out of first place was the Cubs because of those > beatings.

The best thing about all of these winter dreams is that Cashen/Johnson are thinking long-term rebuilding for the future. As for the Cards: bye bye mega-bucks Sutter (you're not worth your own parking spot with a fence around it), and so long to "Silent" George Hendrick; Whitey's going to have a tough time without you. ------------------- Sherman Lee Drug Design Group Washington University in St. Louis -- _________________________________________________________________________ Sherman Lee
