NOTE: Today's late posting is due to our involvement in a commercial night shoot on a Yorktown Heights' tree farm. We did not have access to Al Gore's ISH (Information Super Highway).
UN-HAPPY VALLEY, PA - Say it ain't so, Skipper! Throwing his self-penned book out the window, a certain area MLB manager has done an about face and decided to act by the company Manuel as handed down from his organization's Human Resources Division - and we are NOT happy about it! Without naming names, Jerry Manuel of the NY Mets has decided to start *Claude Rains impersonator Luis Castillo over the popular/successful tandem of Easley & Reyes. This is after the following quotes from the Skipper re the beleaguered L.C.:
- "I think Luis will come back with a little more fire about him. Not necessarily everybody has a particular job. He will have to get it going."
- "When the time comes, we'll make a decision on that and see how it fits. We're really playing well at that position - I mean, very well. It's going to be a tough one."
- **"Who the hell is Luis Castillo?! I wouldn't care if Luis Castillo punched me in the face. Besides, he's fat, over-paid and lazy."
Humph. Not that tough, apparently. Look, Castillo is a good guy (we met him at Spring Training and he saw him stop and sign autograph after autograph outside the stadium when other players didn't. He also chatted with us). But his game is built on speed. If he doesn't show that his wheels are 100% he should be put back on the DL until September 1. The team DID NOT win with him and Willie Randolph got fired - in no small part - for loyally marching Castillo out there day in and day out. Damion Easley and Argenis Reyes have added intangibles that just weren't there with Castillo. Again, he's a nice guy but this ain't the time to be putting players on the field because they are nice or because they were given a ridiculous contract in the off-season. All that matters is a winning chemistry and that's what the Amazins have right now. Suffice to say, we'll be paying VERY CLOSE attention to everything in this Manuel. That's all for today, look for our latest video with Atlanta Brave fan Riyad and tune in manana for our beloved Rex O'Rourke.

**We made this one up. |

| Nice game by Johan last night. Have to like his getting Manuel to leave him in for the 7th. I think the whole team is now competing with each other and thats what Manuel brought. The pitchers want to go longer and the players are all doing the little things. I bet Castillo gets a very short leash. Big game tonight at Meadowlands too. Favre will get a test with Giants. |

| Claude Rains?! Wow - I haven't heard that name in a zillion and one years. And I love the fact that Manuel called him fat and lazy. Or did he? Not sure about you but two things I want to see today - the Yankees start making the AL East interesting and John Maine going into the 7th with a 90+ fastball. |

| If Manuel marches this guy out there - and I dont think he will unless he produces - then you should hire Cuba’s Angel Matos to kick him in the chops. http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/beijing/taekwondo/news?slug=ap-tae-taekwondo-roundup&prov=ap&type=lgns |
