I have just lost all respect for the mets. They are the most
unsportsmanlike team I have ever seen. First they hit Owen on
the knee-cap knocking him out of the game. Okay. I can understand
one got away. I can even understand Moreland being hit in the rump
with the hot bat he's had against the mets. There was no intent to
injure. But today was just a little too much. A fastball directly hitting 
Dernier's head! I hope he's going to be okay. And not just because I'm
a cub fan. Such tactics are totally uncalled for. I hope there is justice in
this world and the mets blow their 5-3 lead today not to mention fall 
out of the pennant race. They don't deserve to be in it. Just because they
feel there is no other way to stop the cubs attack. Disgusting. You mets
fans, you should be ashamed of your team.
