OK all you Met fans, stop worrying about Orosco so much, because your team has
been the recipient of this year's Red Sox "who can we dump some of our best 
talent on and not get equal worth for" award - i.e., Bobby Ojeda.  Jeez, this
time it was Lou Gorman, a former Mets GM who did it.  The Orioles are also 
sharing the honors with getting Jackie Guitierriez for Sammy Stewart, who in
my opinion could be questionable.

Back to the Mets, I don't think Wes Gardner or Calvin Klein or whatever his
name is will help the sox bullpen as much as Ojeda will for the Mets.  Living
with the Red Sox means living with a team that is run by people who desire
no more than a mediocre ball club, and who continue to sustain a racist
institution (check out the firing of Tommy Harper, another in a long line of
disgraces).

As a kid I became a Yankee fan by default because I employed an old Levantine
theory, "Your enemy's enemy is your friend",  I have been continually bullshit
for over 30 years since the Braves left town, forced out rather, by Teddy
Ballgame and his mediocre cohorts.  We lost the Braves just as they were 
beginning their great years and had to settle for the likes of Ike Delock,
Frank Sullivan, Don Buddin, etc.  The only thing good about the sox is Fenway
Park.
