they've still got Zito.
I'm a Met fan, and I don't think the trade it a good idea. You don't give up your a prospect for someone who will be a free agent in 3 months.
Especially since El Duque has been pitching better than expected.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

The thinking is that since (a) Zito is a free agent and the Mets are one of only three teams that can afford him (along with the Yankees and Dodgers), and (b) Zito's old pitching coach is with the Mets that it'd be a good opportunity to get him into the fold. It worked with McGwire in St. Louis.
OTOH, Milledge isn't really the kind of hitter the A's need right now. We need a big ass thumper. If Bradley and Frank Thomas can stay healthy and Chavez can get healthy we might have enough thump. And if Harden comes back healthy in September then we could make a run in the post-season.
Especially since El Duque has been pitching better than expected.
Yeah, but he's like 87. He's going to snap off a curveball and his forearm's going to explode into a puff of dust.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
It was a pint of Bass. Get it!?@@
Heh.

He pitched 8 innings yesterday, and at one point retired 18 in a row.

I made vegetable soup today so we wouldn't have to cook in the ungodly heat this week. I now have about 5 gallons of soup and not enough space to freeze it/store it.
Everyone needs to come to my house and eat soup.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Free soup!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
There's a column in the Times about Latino Goths in the Bronx [link] which calls Hot Topic the H&M of Goth, which seems about right.

There's a possibility that I'll be in Columbus this coming weekend, Cashmere. I'll let you know when I'm sure, and maybe we could hook up.
