Good News/Bad News

Time for some Good News/Bad News

1. Good news - The Post is reporting that Tom Glavine will NOT need surgery for the coldness he felt. APparently he had the angiogram yesterday, and it is felt that medication will treat it, and he could be back next week.

2. Bad news - Ramon Castro felt something in his knee yesterday. What the issue is is unknown.

3. Good news - Aaron Heilman - 'nuff said.

4. Bad news - David Wright is still slumping. Obviously, the Mets need him to start hitting.

5. Good news - The Carlos' are hot. I hope Todd Hundley is not going to miss his name in the record books too much.

6. Bad news -Roberto Hernandez has not recaptured last season's form yet.

7. Good news - the fill in pitchers - Dave Williams for example, have acquitted themselves nicely.

8. Bad news - the Yanks swept the Sox, so we get to hear the media go ga-ga over them.

9. Good news - Both Mike (His Pompousass) Francessa and Chris (Little Sheltie) Russo are on vacation this week. No polluting of the airways.

No Mets news -

1. Good News - Chad Pennington returned to practice yesterday. Should start Friday against the Giants. Doubly good news for me, as I am going to the game.

2. Bad news - Curtis Martin may indeed be done. He renegotiated his contract, reducing his cap hit again. Curtis is/was a great player. He will be missed.

Much as it's nice to hear that Chad's well enough to sustain yet another mid-season shoulder injury, I'd almost like to hear that Clemens (yeah, I know, I hate sying that name too) is getting the nod.

Rebuilding year, and all.

Mike - I think the plan is to go with Chad this year for as long as possible. Give Clemens the time to learn like Chad had.
The worst on Clemens is that his first name begins with a K, just like Roider names his kids.
Argh.

Good news: Sugar Pants is slumping NOW, which means he should be on a tear right around the time the Mets are rolling into the post-season.

Good news: Eli Manning is playing like a stud.

Bad news: Lavar is still banged up.

(sorry, I'm a Giants fan).

Toasty - the news on Wright is good.
I can forgive the Giants fan stuff. Just don't tell me you are a Ranger fan.

Not a hockey fan, period.
