So it is one of those lazy, but typical Sunday mornings at home, where I am having violent brain convulsions searching for answers to abstract topics such as the Mets' starting rotation next year and how to possibly write a poem about fluorine.

It is almost like a seismic shift (or balance, if you prefer) between Barack Obama’s message and that of Hillary Clinton during this campaign season.

Our own Matt "The Stat" Himelfarb tells us why we do, indeed, have hope for the best for the Mets in their up-and-coming young pitchers.

Oh, and his hope for Santana, vis a vis the Twinkies.
