I like Young's chances...at least based on the pics above.

Tiny Hamil seems to be looking up into Giant Young's eyes. Priceless!

A lot riding on MFP games in '11: I have a new colleague at work--a 28 year old MFP fan. In her office next door, she displays a MFP towel/flag and a MFP Mr. Potato Head. Today she said "at least you get Joe Blanton" as if that's the only game that the Mets have even a chance to win.

Ask her who the Opening Day starter was in '04, or '06. Hell, '07.

Y'know what? Ask SuperPhan who the closer is right now. I'd say it's 50-50 she knows.
