<As an Expo fan, I hope you're right. Unfortunatly, I suspect the Expos

Wooooaaa!  Wait a minute!  You don't like Brooks?!?  Why on earth not?
I'm personally happy the Mets got Carter last year, but I really wish
they could have kept Brooks.  (talk about having your cake and
eating it, too).  So, if Expo fans aren't happy with him, PLEASE SEND
HIM BACK.  Think of how much better the Mets line-up would be with
Hubie at third.  He's head-and-shoulders above any Knight/Johnson
platoon.
