The Mets have a solid grip on the NL wild card (with assistance from the D-Backs.) The bottled water is safe to drink. Yes, sir, these are heady times for New Yorkers. |

Give Pedro some time The best young pitcher I ever saw was Dwight Gooden. But as he grew heavier and stronger after rehabbing his shoulder, he lost some of that natural looseness in his arm and consequently lost some of the late life off his fastball.
