Everyone knows the last New York team that was pure and good and never did anythign wrong ever were the Dodgers. The Mets and Yankees are both filth. Though the Mets colors are kind of nice still.

I like the Mets, sorta. Any team with Pedro on it has my support. I still miss that bastard.

Well, I like the Mets in theory. They’re kind of scummy people, but they’re not the fucking Yankees.

Ironically, my same position when voting. Stuck cheering for the kind-of-scummy people (Democrats) because they’re not the fullout scum the other team has (Republicans), while longing for an idealized dream that I’ll never see in my lifetime (Commies).

Here, Brad. Does that make you feel any better?

Replace that with “socialists” and you took the words right out of my mouth. My father still thinks that my political leanings are “just to bug him.”

Anyway. Ahem. YOOOOUUUUUK!

Dare I say that if Papel keeps this up, he’s a Cy Young candidate?

Nice game from Coco.

Time to start winning.

Piss on Cy Young, where’s the Ty Cobb candidates?

Pedro is a baseball genius. He rarely gets over 90 on the gun anymore, and he still blows people away. I’m a lifelong Mets fan and Pedro is pretty much my favorite Met of all time. They’re not scoring any runs for him this year, but he has been sublime. This week the Mets just added the funktastical Lastings Milledge, who has a jheri curl, wears a Kanye West-sized crucifix around his neck, spits a lot, hits line drives and throws like Roberto Clemente. In short, he’s totally awesome.

This is a really fun Mets team. No bad apples like Kris Benson and his wingnut wife this year.

He may finish a nice 2nd to Cy Cy Sabathia. ESPN Sunday night, by the way.

Marita- Yes, it certainly does. DOWN GOES THE GERBIL!!!!

JK47- Anna Benson is a disgusting human being. I think she and Atlast Shrugs would be best friends if they ever met.

Yes Yankee fans are evil. On the otherhand this website does restore my faith in mankind.

And after 1986 (a year which doesn’t actually exist) no self respecting citizen of Sox Nation could really be okay with the Mets.

Please explain why I should begrudge the Mets because:

a.) John McNamara was a stupid manager who should have left Clemens in (and no, I don’t believe Mac’s lame-ass story about Clemens asking out. It’s Game 6 of the bloody World Series. No way Rocket asks out of that game with a blister. Mac wanted to pinch-hit for him so he could get an insruance run. As Mr. Burns said, “it’s what smart managers do to win ballgames.”)

b.) Calvin Schiraldi choked with two outs.

c.) Bob Stanley wild-pitched in the tying run.

d.) Buckner. ‘Nuff said.

In short, I don’t blame the Mets for one of the most stunning collapses in sports history, a choke that would only be matched 18 years later by the 2004 Yankees. The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.

Yoooouk! Papelboooooooooooon!

And what’s this about the Mets? Shit, because of Pedro I’m a closet Mets fan these days.

Course I was only 5 when the “unpleasantness” went down, so whatever.

Well B, you and I both know that big Stein probibly would, and already has sold his soul to the Devil (if there was such a thing) for those championships. I mean come on, it’s just well, a Steinbrenner move. Just like picking up Johnson so he could flop. Or trying to go after the ageing rocket, I mean we all know he will do anything to win. What was it he said once, winning is second to breathing? To breathing……

Tom

I have an alternate theory- Harry Frazee was the devil and the Yankees’ owner bought the Babe from him by offering his soul. The deal was 86 years of relentless success for the Yankees in exchange for his immortal soul.

And after 1986 (a year which doesn’t actually exist) no self respecting citizen of Sox Nation could really be okay with the Mets.

I don’t exist? How sad.

has anybody checked on retardo? 2 straight losses to the cubs and pujols injured … make sure he doesn’t do anything rash.

oh and youks is teh awesome!

George is a “Known Felon”:

United States v. George M. Steinbrenner, III and the American Shipbuilding Company
(CR 74-174, United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio)

April 19, 1974 – Indictment filed charging Steinbrenner with one count of conspiracy (Count 1); FIVE counts of making an illegal campaign contribution (Counts 2-6); two counts of aiding an individual to make false statement to agents of the FBI (Counts 8, 9); four counts of obstruction of justice (Counts 10-13); and two counts of obstruction of a criminal investigation (Counts 14, 15). American Shipbuilding charged with one count of conspiracy (Count 1) and one count of making an illegal campaign contribution (Count 7).

Steinbrenner pled guilty in 1974 and was pardoned Jan. 19, 1989.

Can anything good be owned and dictatorially run by that putrid mess?

Just sayin’.

Ahem. Tigers, Tigers, rah rah rah. Red Sox (if the season were to end today, they’d miss the playoffs), Red Sox, boo boo boo. Yesterday: two knuckleballs sail out of spacious Comerica Park. Today: Clement (not Clemens) versus some kid from Triple A. The Motor City Kitties shall complete the task left unfinished by the Pistons and Red Wings.

Dare I say that if Papel keeps this up, he’s a Cy Young candidate?

Two months into the season, and you’re talking like this about a rookie closer?

In ten years of being the most dominant closer since the inception of the specialized bullpen, Mariano Rivera has finished third three times, and second once (to the woefully average Bartolo Colon last year despite Johan Santana having better numbers).

Motor City Kitties

I have to add that this is the best secondary nickname for a team in all of sports.

Indeed, gjdodger, let us not read too much into the Boston-Detroit series. Los Tigres are clearly not the easy win they once were for opposing teams.

Look out. They’re for real this year.
