This Could Be Ugly

Mets play the Nationals today and for the next couple days. This is gonna be an interesting series because of the swap of ex-Mets Lastings Milledge & Paul Lo Duca for ex-Nats Ryan Church & Brian Schneider. At this point it seems the Mets got the good end of the deal with Church & Schenider hitting .326 & 324 and combining for 14 RBI's and Lo Duca & Milledge at .200 & .308 with only 9 RBI's. But the real drama is how Lo Duca apparently still feels negelected by Mets management when he was let go after last season. When asked about his return to Shea he said "I want them to lose every game". Ok. And Milledge was practically chased out of New York after being a bit of a locker room cancer. So I'm sure he's got something to prove. There doesn't seem to be any hard feelings between Church & Schneider with their old teammates. Let's hope we can just have a nice friendly ballgame, in honor of Jackie Robinson tonight. Then we can get ugly tomorrow.
