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. Robert
