Mets, Yankees-It's July 2nd-They are done!

I know it’s July 2nd, but I will say it NOW-the Mets and Yankees can start planning for 2009.

The Yanks have too much ground to make up and are too inconsistent-as age creeps in and they have to get younger. At 34, Jeter has had a disappointing year. Will Pettitte and Mussina, Damon and Matsui (is Godzilla done for the year?) even be back next season. Even with his bounce back this year, Giambi probably won’t be back. Melky hasn’t had hit in forever-WHY didn’t Girardi have him bunt last night?

The Mets: Not much different. Pedro, Delgado, Castillo, Alou-all done. None should be back next year. Ollie Perez and Mike Pelfrey aren’t consistent enough. Right now, the Mets’ farm system couldn’t grow organic eggs, never mind major league talent. For this season, the Mets can thank the Lord they’re in the N-L’s LEAST-ern Division. Once the All Star Game is done in a few weeks, we can talk football. Best news of all: Somewhere Joe Torre and Willie Randolph are smiling. It isn’t-and-wasn’t-their fault.
