    The Mets have signed 18?year-old, Australian LHP Lachlan Hodge.

    Hodge will report to Extended Spring Training in Port St. Lucie during early-April, after which he will return to Australia to complete high school.

    I can confirm officially that 99% of Aussies don't follow baseball in Australia and I doubt if you will be bothered at Metszone.net by us.

    People here who wear a NY Yankees cap do it for fashion and couldn't name one player.

    The boy Jeter can play a bit and get the girls to boot:)

    The Geelong boy Graham Lloyd who played for the yankees a few years ago won a world series ring with them .

    He can rip the lid off a can of beer with his teeth, his penis is 10 inches long and he can go at it all night, and he baths himself in his own sweat.

    Actually, that applies to all of us male Australians.
