- WHAT sort of reception will new Met Jeff "Frenchy" Francoeur receive tonight in his triumphant return to Turner Field? Also, Ryan Church plays his old team and Angel Berroa makes his debut in Mets road gray, so put on your excitement hats.
- WILL tonight's game against Seattle mark Cliff Lee's final appearance as an Indians pitcher? The trading deadline's comin' fast.
- DID Drew "LtB" Fairservice write the single greatest sentence about the business of baseball today? "We're asking publicly traded corporations and private citizens to forsake millions of dollars so our favorite TV show has a better ending." Boom, roasted.
- HOW many ounces of steroids will Raul Ibanez need to duplicate his first half over the next few months?
- WHAT'S cooler than being cool? Ice. Cold.
Baseball is back, baby! Watch it tonight, especially if you're a National League fan because there are only two American League games on the schedule. What's the deal, Bud?
See you tomorrow, same WoW channel.

WHAT sort of reception will new Met Jeff "Frenchy" Francoeur receive tonight
If I was there, I would be booing mercilessly, but I'm sure all the rubes who are upset that a 'local boy dun gud' would get traded will give him a standing O.
I was hoping the entire crowd would re-enact that salsa commercial.
"NEW YORK CITY???!?"
A cheer for Frenchy is a cheer for the Mets hilariawful management.
Last year when Andruw came back with the Dodgers, I booed, and Andruw hit a tater (one of 2 or 3 total on the year) and this old dude in front of me turned around and said see what you did?
I was sitting in the upper deck.
You know what? If I was there, I would cheer for Frenchy. Why? Because The Colonel is right - a cheer for Frenchy is, indeed, a cheer for the Mets' hilariawful management. And we, as baseball fans, need to let the Mets know that their hilariawful management is highly entertaining!
I boo him because of his comments last year when he got sent down and when he was benched before he was traded. He still thought he was a superstar.
Its sad though, I really did think he was going to be the next dale murphy.
