My mistake, Marlon Anderson and Endy Chavez are signed through 2009. You guys are a real bullpen. Thanks for picking me up.-JD

By the Numbers: Just pocket change.
Brother, can you spare 12 grand?
Naturally, this begs the question of what’s the most you’d pay for a ticket to see the Mets in the World Series?
Or, is there something else, a concert, the Super Bowl, where you’d dig deep?

Quote of the Day: Baldelli relieved.
Baldelli: Relieved at beating Sox. Future Met?
Baldelli will be a free-agent after the World Series and would fit in nicely in the Mets’ outfield.

Willie Randolph up for Brewers’ job
Randolph: The bullpen caused Willie to scratch his head often.
Randolph interviewed for the Brewers’ job in 2000 eventually going to Davey Lopes, now a Phillies’ coach.
Given a proper bullpen, I believe Randolph eventually would have been able to win with the Mets. He deserves a second chance.
