Anna Benson’s been speaking to the press. The wife of Mets pitcher Kris Benson‘s comments have been in many venues today but here’s one: ESPN.
Lo Duca Replaces Piazza… Again
Omar Minaya made a deal over the weekend that appears to be very unpopular with other Mets bloggers. Excuse me for thinking differently than the crowd.
