As a big Met fan, I have to agree that their pitching is their weakness (who would have though it after last year). Can someone out there explain to me WHY Terell was traded for Howard Johnson. Okay, Knight was hurt and a question mark, but trading your #3 pitcher for an ice cream cone?? Especially with Byereni hurting too. The way I see it the Met's need 3 starting pitchers out of 6 possibles, Lynch, Byereni, Schraldi, Fernandez (now back in AAA), and those 2 other guys down in AAA who's names excape me right now. It wouldn't hurst to hvae a 4th one who can pitch long relief. I still think the Met's will pull it out, but regardless, it's fun just having them in the running. I'm sure the Cubs will be there all year long also, especially with their pitching staff. It should be a great pennant race. -- Ron Samuels Harvard University Science Center ...harvard!h-sc1!samuels (or better yet) ...harvard!h-sc4!samuels_b

I agree with your statement concerning Walt Terrel. I thought he showed some pretty decent stuff last year. I sure was annoyed when they traded him. I was also annoyed when the Yankees traded Jay Howell. The Yankees are really paying for it now (so long, Yogi). Peter Meng
