| DENVER, CO - Even our tallest and most optimistic out-of-town compadre, Denver Dan, would have been hard-pressed to believe that the National League's NY contingent would take on so different a look in just 3 games but - knock on Kerry Wood - they have. Granted, it's really too short a span to gauge what Jerry's Kids will do over the long haul but gosh golly gee, they have played inspired and crisp baseball in two thirds of Jerry "Don't Call Me Charlie" Manuel's tenure. Not only has some hustle, timely hitting and fundamentally sound play returned but - sit down for this one - the gang has actually COME BACK to win a couple of times, including Willie's fateful last game. Speaking of Willie, we'd be remiss not to mention his orchestrated splash in yesterday's Daily News. His "World Exclusive" self-penned account of what had transpired should be seen as what it was; nothing more than an attorney-approved public relations self-promotion. While we fully understand shamelessly hyping yourself, we think Willie was silly for this stunt. He had the Tri-State area and all the media 100% behind him, painting him as the class act that deserved better. Then he goes out and does this, walking the fine line re the contract clause forbidding him from saying anything 'detrimental' about the Mets. At the risk of sounding political, it reminded us of how we had the world behind us in Afghanistan and then got greedy. Willie should have taken the high road. Yet, we digress... Back to Jerry's Kids: Will they shed the underachiever tag? Will the hangover finally be cured? Will Delgado remain with the club? Will Omar last the season? Will we get a god-damned show already? Will Hank & Joba win the World Series?! Will the NHL fire James Dolan?! Jeepers, sports in NY is suddenly exciting again?! Wow!!! We've got a lot to talk about! Please chime in below and look for the inestimable Rex O'Rourke manana. P.s... While driving a car load of stuff (moving to buddy's place after mistiming closing on CHEAP condo) at midnight through the Lincoln Tunnel last night, we heard the opening of Tony Paige's WFAN show last night. He likened Tiger's GOLFING with a bad knee to the greatest performances by an injured athlete in the history of sport. Uh, Tony... We understand that having the Midnight- 6AM shift is no small task but for Oregon Pete's sake, man! Get a grip. |

| If Carlos Delgado starts playing good baseball he should be ashamed of himself. Willie Randolph supported him the whole time. |

| Calling this version of the 2008 Mets Jerry's Kids is brilliant. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before one of the local tabloid hacks steals it from you. Don't worry Linda, I don't see Delgado all of a sudden become the monster at the plate that he once was. And I'm sure his glove will still have that big hole in it. |
