Nice win for our boys today. I didn't get to see it, but I think the five-run deficit early on and Chavez hitting 4th again would have made me puke. Sometimes it's good to just see the final score and smile.
Now this, from ESPN Insider (yes, I'm a sucker and I pay for this stuff):
Quote:
Jul 22 - The Mets could dangle Lastings Milledge for Barry Zito, ESPN.com's Jayson Stark reports. Oakland GM Billy Beane is the west-coast president of the Lastings Milledge Fan Club, and Beane has gone so far as to shoot off flares recently that indicate Zito isn't as untouchable as most teams think he is.
Dating back to last winter, the Mets have shown more interest in Zito than any other club. But in the past, it was the price (Milledge and Aaron Heilman) that was prohibitive. Now, according to baseball men who have spoken with Beane, he isn't even asking for Heilman anymore. With Rich Harden out until September, the A's would need to get a pitcher back -- but "not necessarily in that deal," said one AL executive.

I still drool at the possibility of getting our green and gold hands on Milledge. Not sure how much truth there is to this, but if it was up to me, I'd do it.
