Locking up Reyes, Wright, and paying Delgado well were really
excellent moves. I wonder why this team did not go for a few
established starters during the year. Could it be the owners said that
the bank is closed? Steveie T. starts today with his stratospheric
ERA. Martinez still might have something in the arm if he can
straighten out a few things. Orlando Hernandez has been fairly good
lately, but his arm is opldm as is that of Glavine.

Certainbly, with the Phillies so hot, should they reach the wildcard,
it seems really doubtful the Mets can beat up on their starters in a
short series for the NL division championship.
