The buzz overshadowing the trading deadline is the story of the diehard Mets fan who murdered his mother. Last Saturday, during the second game of the day-night double header at Shea, as the Mets were losing, Michael Anthony started to go bonkers. He was supposedly banging on walls and hollering when his father stepped in and told him to keep it down. Anthony then got a knife and stabbed his mother in the head; followed her into her bedroom and bashed her brains in with a 20 pound dumbbell. Anthony then sat on the couch and waited for the cops as the Mets continued to lose.
