NUMBER 8!

That's the number of the hot dog Cody had on the episode of the Suite Life of Zack and Cody that is on right now.

But really this is #600! For 600 posts!

The Mets finally released Duaner Sanchez today. I've been waiting for this day since he was injured in 2006 and they traded Xavier. Hopefully they will find a lefty to sign so the Mets have more stability in the bullpen. For now, the Mets only have 1 lefty in the bullpen so they need somebody else, especially because the big bats in the Fillies lineup are lefties.

Angel Pagan made the decision to have surgery on his elbow and the recovery time is about 8 weeks. Somebody else will get the 4th outfielders job for now but he could get a chance at the position later in the year.

John Maine gave up five runs today but the good news is that he said he felt better and when he was missing with his pitches he was only missing by a little bit. It's good to hear that he was more comfortable after saying his mechanics were way outta wack in his first start.

The Mets tied the Nats today and are off tomorrow before playing on Thursday night with Johan making his first in-game appearance of the Spring.

Let's Go Mets!
