Darn it.. Had I known Mr. Met could be hired for a wedding, I’d be on it in a heartbeat. The couple above hired Mr. Met for their wedding and you can also to the tune of $500 dollars an hour. Seems like a great gig for him (and a great way for him to [...]

Carlos Voltran can’t save the Mets

This Onion piece put a smile to my face today despite another ridiculous loss by the Mets last night. Unfortunately.. I don’t think even “Carlos Voltron” can help save the sinking ship. 
In reflecting upon this season, it’s clear to me that the Mets have some rebuilding to do. It’s not a complete rebuilding.. [...]

While I’m keeping my eyes closed and my ears shut to the rest of this Mets season (which amounts to five more games), I figured I’d share this YouTube clip of a rendition of Lisa Loeb’s song, “Stay”, sung to lyrics about Met’s starting pitcher John Maine. Thanks to V for this linky…

Wow - that was one exciting baseball game that was played between the New York Mets and the San Francisco Giants. The Mets pulled out a 5 to 4 win over the Giants in 12 innings as good ol’ Armando Benitez coughed up the game tying and game winning runs in the bottom half [...]

I suppose it was inevitable. The Mets run through the playoffs is finally over (actually it was over as of last night). I was a nervous wreck throughout the entire playoffs.. something that really hasn’t happened to me since 1986 when I was so nervous about watching every single playoff game. I suppose I’ve been [...]

Amazin Mets clinch the National League East

It was simply glorious to watch last night. The night that the New York Mets finally clinched the National League East title. Yes it took them four tries at clinching it - after having been swept by the lowly Pirates over the weekend in Pittsburgh. But for those of you that remember the 1986 Mets, [...]
