How Sweep It Is

Got to love sweeps when they happen. Especially when they happen right after a horrible Braves series, who, by the way, got the broom treatment themselves from the Phils. Whore-Hey So-Sosa can now go back to being known as Jorge Sosa after a solid performance getting the W in a 6-4 Mets win.

Disturbing number of men left on base today. Twice today the Mets left the bases loaded with no runs being scored. Gotta have someone coming up clutch soon or this will catch up with them.

Open note to Willie Randolph:

Dear Willie,

Dude, are you trying to make The Lone Met Fan die of intestinal gastroitis and a bleeding ulcer? That's what is going to happen soon if you do not remove Heilman from 8th inning duty. I know your a loyal guy. How else to explain all the Steve "Human Rain Delay" Trachsel starts? But this is no longer a case of "1 bad outing". This is now a pattern. A habit if you will. Joe Smith has shown he's capable of getting major league hitters out, so please, please, if you value your fan base and their lives, remove or even TRADE Heilman. He's scaring the women and children. Listen, watch him in the bullpen sulking, check and see if he's serenading the Duncan Donuts sign with a version of Color Me Badd's "Mi Amore" while whittling voodoo dolls out of cornbread and then make the trade to the first GM that offers anything more than a box of toothpicks. It's time. Time for him to go and get help and new surroundings, and time for the women and children (and the Lone Met Fan) to feel safe again.
Thank you.
