Mets get El Duque

[ndebord]

The Mets have Pedro Martinez, Tom Glavine, Steve Trachsel and now they've added new and old Cuban phenoms -- Alay Soler, who won his very first major league start for the Mets against arch-rival Philadelphia and El Duque, who came over from the Diamondbacks.

Ouch. The Yankee good luck charm with the Mets. Ouch.

Now the Mets starting 5 looks pretty darn good.

It just ain't gonna feel right to see El Duque in a Mets uniform...

Seems strange to see Damon in a Yankees uniform, but I'm getting used to it! <g>

(He does have a "Yankee mentality")

[Judy G. Russell]

I got used to seeing Damon in the uniform as soon as he cut his hair!

Judy,

Damon is one smart cookie. He made it a media event and came out looking smooth and sharp.
