Just a minor test posting - seeing if anyone even bothers checking the site over the weekend...I haven't been in the habit of writing on Friday or Saturday nights.

Aaron Heilman just gave up 4 runs in the seventh inning (the ugliest inning the Mets have played in a week or so), blowing a lead on Alay Soler. Now, the Mets are playing the Orioles, so there's a good chance this game is not over, with the Mets trailing, 6-3...but it's so weird to see them losing with the way things have been going lately.

THE KID'S KIDS: Believe it or not, we're at the All-Star break of the Florida State League. The Mets lost to Vero Beach, 2-1, to stumble into the break on a 5-game losing streak, but still have a one-game lead in the division, with a 38-29 record at the break. Six St. Lucie Mets are on the All Star team.

FANTASY UPDATE: The What If Mets lost two out of three to the Reds - now seven back of the wild card...fading.....

BEAT THE STREAK: Reyes has a streak going for me again - I took Vernon Wells for Saturday.
