Various thoughts on current events with an emphasis on politics, legal issues, books, movies and whatever is on my mind. Emails can be sent to almostsanejoe@aol.com; please put "blog comments" in the subject line.
The Mets hitting appears to be decent, but not great (especially without Beltran). The pitching: an ace/lefty reliever/closer and question marks. The NL East: tougher, even the Nats. Even Steve Somers is doubtful. The road to mediocrity.
