Baseball

would call for a lifetime ban. I think we have seen the last of Ortiz and Clasé. Stupid, stupid! Clasé for sure, throwing away a brilliant career. And you know the Dumpster would never push the commish to reinstate them like he did Pete Rose, for obvious reasons.

Smith looks like the heir apparent to the closer role. I think he will be OK, but boy how do you replace someone like Clasé in his prime.

We have seen some promise from new bullpen guys like Enright, Allard, Sobrowski. Festa and Gaddis are inconsistent. Enright had his first career save a couple nights ago. Inspiring story with him, coming back from a cancer diagnosis.

Kayfus looks good so far. Great catch by him yesterday. Jones might have made it, but he’s been a bit inconsistent in the field lately too.

Just wait until Smirky Boy gets an earful from Guards next time the Mets play in Cleveland…..
