My Mets are faling apart...just got swept by the lowly Pirates!! But on that note, Damn if Andrew McCuthen didn't look good in his MLB debut.

With all the money the Mets spend and choke, I can't understand how Minaya keeps his job?

I'm still scratching my head over AJ Burnett's suspension. He gets six game for throwing at and missing the guy, before the benches were warned, while Padilla hit Tex twice and got nothing. I mean, Josh Beckett threw intentionally at Bobby Abreu's head after he called time and got less of a suspension. Seems overly harsh given the circumstances

Beckett also got six appled and and got it down to five.
Oh don't worry Burnett will be reduced as long as as Yankee suck pump Bob Watson is in the MLB office.

Methinks Bob Watson is still sore over George firing him when he was the GM. The league always comes down hardest on the Yanks.

That being said, Beckett's play was a major douchebag move. Burnett's play was just old fashioned retaliation. No reason the punishment should be equal given the circumstances.
