Matthew Cerrone's MetsBlog is reporting, via WFAN's Mike Francesa, that the Mets are checking out Roy's license plates.

A source familiar with the Houston Astros' thinking doesn't believe right-hander Roy Oswalt will end up with the Mets, assuming he does get traded.
"They may sniff, but have no chance," the source said regarding the Mets.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
