When Mo runs there's always that extra thrill you get thinking of the strain on his hamstrings.

True, the Braves bullpen has been the best in the majors so far, and the team as a whole has been strong in every facet of their game. It would be completely irrational to think the Mets can overtake the Braves in the NL East. But as a Mets fan, I feel no compunction to justify my beliefs with sound logic, and neither should you! ;) But back to the topic at hand - MO! Vaughn Runs Mets Into Win Column (Kind of old)

If we have learned nothing else about Bobby Cox's teams the past few years, it is that they play bad in September and even worse in October. Granted, the Mets were never the team that finished them off, but this year that's all gonna change! Those young arms, Moss and Marquis, will be too tired to throw straight come August.

I second that eMOtion. Mo is one of the few Mets position players with charisma to spare. If he keeps performing at or near the level he's displayed the past month he'll soon be a Met institution, like Piazza, and management won't even think about trading him.

Mo might not win any MVP trophies with the Mets, but he is a tremendous addition and a great guy to root for. By the end of the season, he'll have his 30 HR and 90-100 rbi. His OPS has jacked up 130 points the past few weeks, and I don't expect the trend to stop any time soon. I hope Mo gets his wish to retire in a Mets uniform. The Mets should forget about moving Piazza to first and just stick him in left after he breaks the record for career home runs as a catcher. Mo Vaughn is here to stay!

MLB Firings Begin.
dj, you and I both know there was nothing Phillips could do to re-sign Olerud--the guy was getting out of New York no matter what. I blame Phillips for Rey Ordonez's salary and little else. There was no way to foresee the abysmal performances of Burnitz and Alomar. Nevertheless, I think that they'll get rid of him next year when this team still sucks, new manager and all...
