Some of you may be wondering why I haven't discussed the Mets in a while. I know Virgil over at Ballpeen Hammer loves it when I write about baseball.

I don't know, man. I mean, I love baseball, and I'm a big fan of the Mets. But just how much can you write about a team that plays .500 baseball? We're more than halfway through the season, and like I've insisted all year, the Mets are a .500 ball club. And I'll take it. They've been so rotten the past couple years, .500 is a vast improvement. But who wants to write about something so average?

Of course, I just did.

By the way, does anyone out there know what happened to Lee Reynolds, the dude that was Mr. Met until 2002, when his Army reservist status called him to go serve at Gitmo? Originally, he was supposed to be there six months, and I can't seem to find any information about whether or not he's back in the big baseball head.
