New York Mets 2012 Banter

I don't think you are being cynical, just realistic. I'm not remotely excited to see anyone on the team play. David Wright used to be someone I liked to watch, but his play has been way down.

The only way this team performs this year is by a miracle. Wright, Bay and Johan would have to have career years and Ike would have to take a giant step forward. That wouldn't even be enough. There are gaping holes at pitcher, 2B, C, CF and RF - that assumes Tejada is ok at SS.

The only honest assessment of this team is that it's a basement dweller and probably will be for a few years.

Queens, NY. (AP) - A seven-year old boy was at the center of a courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over whom should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulation requiring that family unity be maintained to the highest degree possible.

The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When
the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried and said that they also beat him. After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.

After two recesses to check legal references and confer with the child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the New York
Mets, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.
