Happy October Everybody!

From the invigorating chill in the air to the early evening darkness to the crackling and crunching of leaves under one’s feet to the romantic multicolored trees to the stress of a school semester speeding up to the harrows of Halloween to the electricity in baseball stadiums filled with freezing fans cheering their champions—there is [...]

The Glorious Sound of the Yankee Stadium Crowd Erupting In Applause….

when the Mets score over and over again….There are few more satisfying sounds in life than that! Tonight was a good night. The Mets seem to always get crushed on the Yankee Stadium Sunday night game every year, so I was not expecting such a happy game. It just stinks that my man Carlos Delgado [...]

Mets and Jays Should Talk Vernon Wells

Alright, I’ll admit right off to the biased preference as a Mets-Jays fan that the Blue Jays that have to leave the Jays wind up in Flushing when they do so. But the simple fact is that Wells is the kind of guy you want to lock up as a long term fixture in your [...]

“I’m Keith Hernandez”

I don’t know exactly what to make of this but I figure it’s curious enough an attempt at satire involving our beloved Keith Hernandez that’s it’s worth posting for your viewing pleasure in hopes of getting your thoughts.

New Labor Deal Spectacular News For Mets Fans

One Happy “Omen”

I know these things are meaningless coincidences, but the Mets’ only two championships came each within two years of great Tigers championships. The 1969 Mets were a follow up act to the 1968 Tigers and the legendary 1986 Mets were just two years on the trail of the legendary 1984 Tigers. Hopefully this loss is [...]

The Morning After

My feeling is changing a lot. It’s never great but it wavers between frustrated and resigned. Last night I was first worried a lot about losing embarrassingly (historic upset in terms of records) and not making as much progress in showing up the Yankees as much as we’d hoped we could. Those sorts of frustrations [...]
