SNY's Dan Graziano can't believe his fortune that the Mets are where they are in the standings. And he wants Oswalt:
I say this is New York, and you don't get too many chances to win. If you get into the playoff field anything can happen. I'd go for Oswalt (who'd still be here next year, by the way), and if it took Ike Davis to make it happen, I'd go and get Russell Branyan or somebody like that to plug in at first base for the rest of the year. I'd look at the way my Minor League system is producing talent and say I expect it to continue, so to use the guys who've come up this year as trade chips makes some sense, because I feel like we can replace them.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
