The Mets Police

I know you can get this news on 5 billion other sites but I’d feel odd not mentioning it.

The results of biopsies performed on the tumor in Gary Carter’s brain have conclusively shown that Mr. Carter has a glioblastoma. While surgery is not a good option given the location of the tumor, we discussed an aggressive treatment plan with Mr. Carter and his family, which will include chemotherapy and radiation. Mr. Carter will be returning home to Florida to begin the next phase of his treatment, but we will continue to work closely with his medical team. Mr. Carter’s youth, strong physical condition and fighting spirit will be to his advantage as his treatment commences. The outpouring of support for Mr. Carter has been incredible and we trust that his many friends and fans will join us in continuing to pray for him and his family.

Hello – hope you had a nice weekend.  While you were away I redecordated…a hopefully less cluttered design.  I also plan to use the “sticky” post option more often – leaving the big story or stories of the day up top, with newer content rolling out below.  So if you see something up top you’ve already seen it is usually going to be worth scrolling down to see what’s new.

There was a surprising amount of stuff going on so let’s catch you up and give you some stuff to read over lunch.

I suggested the Mets retire #8. Amazin’ Avenue wrote a respectful rebuttal.

The Mets visited the Intrepid (cool pics via @newyorkmets) but Keith says the Mets do too much off-field stuff.

The News checked in with Robert Valentine at work

All in all a pretty busy weekend.  Anyone else sick of work yet?
