They're BA-ACK...
The '86 Mets reunion is tonight out at Shea, right before the current edition of the Mets take on the Rockies, opening pitch at 7:10. Of course, there will be some notable absences - Gooden, who's doing time, Ray Knight, who's hawking pharmaceuticals, and Davey Johnson, who has something else to do. But the other big names will be on hand - Ed Hearn, Danny Heep, Doug Sisk. And the Straw will be there to stir the drink, or so says Newsday, and Newsday never lies.
As a lifelong Mets-hater, and one who particularly loathes this team, I'm not exactly thrilled about the whole 20-year anniversary business, especially when you throw in that this is just the beginning of the hoopla. If the '06 Mets make a run in the playoffs? Jesus, it'll be Orosco this and HoJo that every five seconds. Here's hoping they lose the NLDS in four and spare us all a lot of bullshit.

Is Dykstra coming tonight? He is the only player I ever liked in Phillies uniform.
Hey Large,I think you are the dopest sports writer ever,but I have to say that you were totally wrong about Abreu.Thank God.
Thanks for the love Hiro, and on the Abreu front, talk to me in October.
Yeah. He might be one of those master of first impression. But he reminds me a lot of Justice's first year with Yanks. At least he took us where we want that year.

The Justice comparison is a good one. Abreu is caught up in the excitement and newness of the Bronx, and when he's animated, he has a lot to offer. But you better hope he wins you a ring this year, because he's not much for the long haul, and I guarantee you things will turn sour down the road and you'll be saddled with his big contract.
Then maybe in a future,Yanks can trade him for Mets 3rd baseman! I have this idea for Yanks offseason move and tell me what you think. How about bringing Shefield back and play him in left(or just keep Melky in there) and trade Matsui for frontline starter and this is coming from Japanese person! I think this makes sense and balance out their lefty heavy line-up.I'm sure by then Bosox will find some lefty in their pen.
