Stupid Mets.

The Mets made two terrible trades at the trade deadline this year, even after I advised them not to.

They went through with that trade of Ty Wigginton and Matt Peterson for Kris Benson. Benson got shelled in his first start as a Met, though we'll give him a pass because his last three starts were against the Braves. On top of that they traded their best pitching prospect, Scott Kazmir, to the Devil Rays for Carlos Zambrano, a guy who's abou as good as Benson.

The Mets must be looking toward the future because their chances for this year are essentially zero after falling 8 games behind the Braves last night. If they sign both of these guys for the next 3 or 4 years then they will remain a middle of the road team, which is what they seem to be content to do.

thanks for the link on the gsxr. I love gixers. The Suzuki GSX-R1000's dominance are simple. Sublime, lithe ergonomics and handling, radical styling and full-on usable power. The bikes looks good too. Im thinking of buying one. gonna check out some motorcycle insurance quotes to see how much this beast is gonna cost me to get on the road. then i'll have to sweet talk the wife into letting me have one.
