And I don't even know what year it is anymore. Doug Mientkiewicz tore his hamstring in the on deck circle yesterday (Who does he think he is, Corey Koskie?) and is going on the DL. The Mets have called up one Jose Offerman to take his place on the roster. Story here.

Says manager Willie Randolph, "Pull a muscle in the on-deck circle, how do you do that?"

(Thanks to Torhu and The Commish for the heads-up.)
