There's not a lot of love for Jorge Julio out there in the Mets community. Julio was one of the guys that the Orioles sent to the Mets in exchange for Kris Benson and his delicate little flower of a wife. Julio is sporting a 19.64 ERA, with 11 hits given up in 3.7 innings of work. Mets fans began a chant yesterday that—actually, I'm going to let Joel Sherman of the New York Post tell you: More »

Each generation has its cultural touchstones, those moments when everyone remembers where they were, at that specific moment, from that second until the day that they die. Late at night, at a dinner party or social function, someone will mention the event, and the party will hush, and recollections will be shared with whispers, as quiet as possible, so as not to upset the delicate nature of such sacred memories.

All right, so here's the situation. You're a middle-of-the-rotation starter whose team is trying to trade him. You're a former first overall pick who parlayed one good season into a multi-million-dollar deal. You are married to a woman who is attractive, but not as attractive as she so desperately wants everyone to believe. Your team has just asked you to put on a Santa costume and give out gifts to needy children. Oh, and some local television reporter has shoved a microphone in your face and is asking you — while you're wearing the Santa costume, by the way, and while your wife is shoving her breasts in the face of terrified children — what your thoughts on potentially leaving New York are. You're on live TV. More »

While doing some followup "research" after yesterday's Anna Benson dustup, we came across her official Web site, and, more specifically, her angry "Letter To Peta" found at the bottom of the site's front page.

All right, so yes, she is attractive, though she's starting to veer a little close to that, "OK, we get it, you're hot, please stop it now," territory. Mets wife lady Anna Benson is piping up again, this time to blast the Mets for considering trading her man. The reason for the trade talks, she says? Her decision to pose for Playboy. (Ultimately, negotiations for the photo shoot fell apart over money; we're guessing she wouldn't pay them enough.) More »
