With Peeete having expunged the Captain from the list of Mets to chase, I shall be very disappointed if none of the back pages commemorate it with an "Only the Straw Survive" tag-line.

Bombs by Polar Pete and Squirrel McNeil show that we need more animals in the line-up. Interested parties should send their résumés to 41 Seaver Way, Queens NY…

I honestly wonder if our Amazing Rotation tends to squib out so often because they've been taught that the hook is waiting for them. Fantastic ERAs, yes…but this is reminding me of Al Leiter's final years…nibble his way through five, allow only one or two runs, and let the bullpen get worn down. I mean, I guess it's okay in "the modern game" with 17 guys in the bullpen or whatever, but this is still so weird to me.
