    Mets continue to be a joke organization. Check out this article:

    First major American role for Michael Caine in support.

    Was one of my father's favorites, though I would imagine it perhaps is not quite in step with the times. Very fine old school war movie though.

    The Braves absolutely need a sweep of the Fish. A sweep will go a really long way in the playoff race.

    3 out of 4 at the absolute worst. But a sweep is probably needed with the remaining schedule.

    The Fish are really struggling right now. You're right we have to take three out of four.
