Look at me! I'm Peter Gammons! "If Al Leiter and Tom Glavine live out the movie "Cocoon" and get younger, Scott Strickland establishes himself as an dominant closer, Cliff Floyd joins the elite 40/40 club, and Matsui proves himself better than Ichiro and Godzilla combined, the Mets could contend for the NL East. But watch out for the Phillies. And the Braves. The Marlins should be back strong. And the Expos are always pesky. So the Mets might win. Or they might not."

JAMES BALDWIN AND RICKY BOTTALICO? What about Mark Clark and Randy Myers?
