The following headline just showed up in my e-mailbox:

Mets Place Mexican Outfielder Garcia on Disabled List

Why the need to specify Mexican, do you suppose? As opposed to that Scandanavian outfielder, Sven Garcia?

Sorry - probably not worth a post, but it tickled me and I was here...

Exactly. Apparently the Mets baseball operations folks are really into this precision kick.

BTW, you interested in rolling Sven into the deal with Mets Irish-American utility player Joel McEwing?

You've got a deal! But I want the Venezuelan one(Carlos Zambrano), not the Welsh-Scottish one (Hamish Zambrano)...
