Uh, oh. Loyal WatchDog reader Jon Heyman says Willie is on the brink again, which given who Heyman's sources probably are means that Willie most definitely is on the brink again.

(UPDATE: Here is more from our guys on this subject.)

I was going to make the point in my Friday newspaper column that SNY could be facing the first late summer in its three-year history with a team out of contention. But I was talked out of it, in part because I remember writing that about YES last year when the Yankees seemed to be hopelessly out of it in late May.

So I will wait until the All-Star break, then write a column about SNY facing the first irrelevant August and September in its history.
