Are fans allowed to root against their teams in spring training? I think so.
I'm glad Pelfrey got lit up by the Cardinals yesterday. It seems that the Mets have finally realized that they have a hole at the fifth spot in the rotation. I still don't understand why Sosa doesn't seem to be under consideration.

Unrelated link - cool study at Met's Refugees showing that Randolph fails to properly take advantage of lefty/righty match-ups with his bullpen. Come on Willie, even Montgomary Burns knows it's what any good manager would do.

Schoeneweis is tolerable only as a LOOGY, and if Sosa stays in the pen, he should not be abused like he was towards the end of last year (A Torre technique handed down to Willie). There were times last year Willie would pull Feliciano after one batter despite the fact he can get lefties and righties out.

I wouldn't mind trading Sosa for Thames though, as he can play first base and the outfield, and it could make room for Register in the pen.
