Updates on Roster Moves

4:20 PM UPDATE: WFAN is reporting that everything below has occurred exactly as Rubin reported earlier.  With the exception of the Sosa-Smith situation, I still feel this team culture’s in infected with mediocrity.
The ever informative Adam Rubin is reporting on his Daily News blog that Claudio Vargas has been pulled from his AAA New Orleans [...]

Who Are You…And What Have You Done With My Mets?

Mets win 12-1. John Maine pitches into the 9th.
