I'd like to congratulate myself on having cl and couth to remain silent for the past three days. I truly hope you you all enjoyed that brief time period in my life, which has now, come to a close. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA to all of you Yankee fans... What a bunch of chokers! God your team sucks! What's in store for next year, a 300 million dollar payroll?!?! How could you possible loose three straight games to the Tigers? What "all star" are you going to get next year to make yourself "better?" An All Star at EVERY POSITION!!! And nothing but choking! Yankee fans goof on Mike Piazza playing first base. Gary Sheffield. Well done! I am hysterical as I hear all of Yankee fans work, on the radio, anywhere is their overthingyiness now turned into "blah blah blah, we should trade [Insert Choker Yankee Name Here]..." or "Our pitching sucked" or some other rollover excuse. Go ahead and trash your team. You deserve it. The compared this years team to the "Murderer's Row" team. Couple big differences....their third baseman didn't hit 1-14 in three games! Some people say to wish such misfortune or to reveal on it is a sign of a very sad person. Not true folks! My grin is "ear-to- in-ear"! So to all of you Yankee fans who felt the need to debate me about your team's potenital for success, please read this rant and watch the rest of the playoffs, and then do your impression of a paralyzed mime being sodomized (which is kinda funny if you think of it): Sit back and take it: every game, inning and painful pitch. Your team is done. That being said........................Outside of the baseball world, I still love every single one of you as individuals. Except those of you who steal my camera and take embar ing photos of yourself (you can still do your mime impression.)

Im glad you were able to get that out Tom. Im sure none of us would be comfortable with you holding such strong feelings bottled up inside. After all, that sort of behavior leads to cancer, and I assure you that NONE of us here would ever want you to get cancer. Be sure to eat lots of fiber!

200 million as compared to 160 million? Hmmmmm........ 26 world titles as compared to 2?? Hmmmm......... Yes Tom the heartless corporate pusseies of the bronx choked once again. We haven't been a team with heart since the greats of the past left for greener pastures or retirement. ( Clemens, Pettite, O'neil, Brosius, Leyritz, Cone etc....) It was a sad sad series to watch espeacially when we had the greastest lineup in baseball history(on paper!!). All the yankee fans can blame torre or a-rod or whoever, but it comes down to the Yankees may have an all-star at every position but there all a bunch of candy- fag motherfuckers who don't deserve to wear pinstripes and represent a team that has dominated baseball since its inseption. SO TOM win something with your baby Yankees and then talk some . You'll get past the lowly cards but come american league, your amazing pitching staff ain't gonna hold up, and the tigers or A's have way better arms tan any team you suckass'shave faced. And futhermore even if The MEEEETTTTT'SSS win the series your still the mets!!!!! As much as you guys try your not the Yankees and will never be as popular. Yeah I know everyone hates the yanks but thats better than being a met. Seriously I would rather route for the red sox than the mets. I'll say it again DUDE ITS THE METS!!! C'MON don't take yourself to seriously its the metropolitans!!! Now Thomas, do not provlke a sleeping dragon(or in this case a sleeping fat guy!) I have stated time and time again that I hoped it was a subway series, and that I only wish the mets well. I have nothing against your team. To b honest I watched more met games this year than in years past cause they were exciting. So I take you previous rant as a direct slap in my face, for I am not an annoying pompus Yankee fan. Like others on this site and in this city. I only hate one team. Fuller nows all to well!!!!! So there is no reason to get into a war of words or posts Thomas. Good luck, GOD SPEED and LETS GO METS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jezz. I was just kidding. Damn. Mets team salary is only 100 million. I love Sam. I hate Jim. No reason to wish cancer on me. Uncalled for.

How sick do the Tigers look right now? 4th inning, Zito threw 90+ pitches and is out. Tigers might be the team to beat.

nice rant, tommy. what's the word I'm looking for...?
schadenfreude \SHOD-n-froy-duh\, noun: A malicious satisfaction obtained from the misfortunes of others.

good times in 2003. good times.
*sigh*
fiber is a good way to help prevent all kinds of cancers, ones in the back, and the front.
there's lots of cool stuff on the front.

We just got home from the game tonight. And the strangest thing is the one running thought going through my mind right now.
Aside from the final outcome, this was the most amazing baseball game I have ever been to. Aside from the final outcome, it was perfect. Odd thought considering the team I live and die with just got eliminated from the playoffs.
The crowd was insane. Talk about cheering! The place barely let up. And even after Molina's homerun, the crowd never faultered or turned. It was completely positive. Mets fans quote relief pitcher Tug McGraw's famous line for the 1969 World Series, "Ya Gotta Believe." Mets fans say it as prayer. We say it as hope. And sometimes it is said, and not meant; a throw back phrase.
At no point, in the final inning, at any point in any single at bat, did I ever think, that the Mets would not pull it out. It was almost religious. Spirit and will transended the fact that this was a baseball game. Nothing more than a baseball game.
Ask me what I would have thought my reaction would have been to the Mets loosing to an tremendously inferior Cardinals team, I would have told you that I'd probably be found curled in a ball, crying like a child. And maybe if I was sitting in my living room watching it, I would be. But the atmosphere of Shea was so overwhelmingly positve tonight, that even the pain of an elimination loss was dulled. Slightly.
Sure the are a lot of things I could complain about. Reyes not getting one at all in a few of the games. The disappearance of David Wright's hitting. Billy Wagner blowning an important game. The series was flip flopped. The Mets troubles were supposed to be their starting pitching. John Maine and Oliver Perez. One, a rookie, the other, the pitcher with the highest ERA to ever start a playoff game. Ever. And they were outstanding. Who would have thought the offense would have gone AWOL. The guys that killed us were not named Rolen or Edmonds or Pujols. It was So Taguchi. Yadier Molina (who played inspired baseball this series). Ronnie Belliard.
And this will sound even weirder: If you told me, I absolutely, positively had to loose a Game 7, then this was how I wanted to do it. We didn't lose 9-3 with the Cards having a big 3rd inning, and me having to sit there for 2 and a half hours more eating my guts. We did loose in the bottom of the 9th, having a 3 run lead (like the game Wagner blew, which we were also at). The game was knotted the entire time. The play was perfect. But the bats showed up way to late, and one pitcher made one mistake pitch.
Steve Sommers from WFAN said something on the radio tonight, and I couldn't agree more. I wish pitchers and catchers reported tomorrow. For the first time, in all reality, I am looking forward to the 2007-2008 season to exceed my expectations. I was so glad I have the seaon ticket package, and that we went to as many games as we did this year.
And again, aside from the final outcome, I was so glad that I was there at that game tonight.
Endy Chavez. Possibly the greatest catch ever?
