Well, this was actually 15 years ago yesterday.



Also, we need to pay whatever it takes to get LWFS back on the team


He's like the version of that guy who became a town cop, and is a hell of an upstanding-- if smug as hell-- one during daylight hours. Only he gets drunk sometimes and gets really racist and "fag"-bash-y when he does... and is still a bully with everyone in his life, including his children.

I have not watched that footage since I saw it happen live, and I shall never again watch it. Because I love myself too much to subject myself to it.

A B C, It's easy as

1 2 3, as simple as

do re mi, A B C, 1 2 3



A: I fucking hate this this team.

B: No one is forcing you to be a Mets fan. Go watch some other team.

A: Fuck you. I'm allowed to vent.

C: Language aside, I agree with A.

If we can't vent among our own, where can we vent?

I recall when we got metirish back, someone tried to bring back seawolf and he refused the invitation.



Some people drift away, and some deliberately leave because of the toxicity that flares up around here from time to time.

While I stand by my “release” sentiment as it was https://www.faithandfearinflushing.com/2009/06/13/15-seconds-of-lousy-baseball-%E2%80%94-weve-had-enough/rendered in the moment — which itself was, I believe, the shittiest Mets moment simply as a moment (rather than as a numbing conclusion to an ongoing trauma) I've ever experienced — I attempted to make my personal peace with Castillo a few years ago by ranking him No. 100 as https://www.faithandfearinflushing.com/2021/02/17/mets-of-the-2000s-100-91/part of a multipart series on Mets of the 2000s, acknowledging he had as good a 2009 as he was capable of, while certainly not forgetting the one-handed debacle of June 12. When I tweeted the article, an immediate response was, in so many words, I'm not bleeping reading anything that bleeping praises Luis Bleeping Castillo. While I felt that nonreader lacked the ability to grasp nuance, I understood.

Me three. That's what I remember the most about the Castillo game: how uncharacteristically mean G-FAFIF was to Castillo. It was so brutal that I ended up feeling sorry for the guy. Castillo, that is. I think it was like two or three times meaner than he was to Gl@v!ne. And he's never mean to anybody.

OK. He responded while I was posting.

Though I never altered the spelling of Castillo.

I was in the back of a taxicab heading for the Hong Kong airport, closing out a business trip. I was following primitive GameCast on my primitive Iphone and saw that there were two out. And then GameCast didn't update for a looooooong time. I thought I'd lost the connection but I guess GameCast was figuring out how best to describe the shitshow. Finally a long, brutal description was rendered (along with a changed final score) and I swore so loudly the cabbie thought something was wrong.

=Fman99 post_id=159045 time=1718302260 user_id=86]I think them (Ceeter & Seawolf, plus LWFS, Met Fairy, etc.) moving on from the CPF is largely based not on the failures of the team to compete but more by certain regulars around here who are, you know, relentless assholes.

That's harsh. I can be a jerk, but you are without character defect.

and days with high society types



D Dad also



The election sent her over the edge
