Real Dirty Mets Blog – A recap of Jerry Manuel’s interview with Mike Francessa. Jerry says Ollie will be the first lefty out of the bullpen. Ugh.

        No problem. If you (or any other Mets blogger) has a great post that I missed, just drop the link in the comments section. I’ll look it over and (hopefully) put it in the next link dump.

        Keep up the good work.

          And feel free to link to MetsToday. I don’t do many opinion/analysis posts, but Joe, Matt and John do a great job. If other blogs will link to them more, I won’t feel the need to link to MetsToday in the link dumps. I know that annoys alot of readers, so please know I’m trying.
