You Make. The Move.

You would think that last night was a bad night for Met GM Jim Duquette (Or is it Dan Duquette? One of those Duqettes who ruin ballclubs.) considering the newly-traded prospect Scott Kazmir made a good major league debut.

The Mets traded Kazmir for Zambrano and most observers thought the Mets should have at least waited until the off-season and get more value for Kazmir.

But at least Zambrano had a great outing last night, too. Almost a no-hitter, even. That should make Duquette sleep a little more soundly.

How's that? You mean there's another pitcher named Zambrano? Which one did the Mets get for Kazmir? The almost-no-hitter Zambrano? Or the already-on-the-DL Zambrano?

Whoops. Wrong Zambrano.

I wonder if Lupica still thinks they should have "made the move"? You know what? He probably does still think that. I have never found any evidence anywhere that Mike Lupica has Ever Been Wrong.
