Could be an event staffer for whatever thing The Glider was in route to or from (photo was taken from an Ed Randall thing for his charity)

The day I graduated in 1999, the Mets were coming from behind to beat Schilling and the Phillies at Shea!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Even without doing anything, the Mets' magic number drops as a result of Philadelphia's loss in Florida -

I can't believe the Mets may have the division clinched as early as Tuesday. Holy Freakin' Shit!

Georgia, the 4th state

I wonder if there was a rime and reason for the order of State Hood among the 13?

Either that or just plain whomever got their paperwork done first I guess.

Ehem...

Georgia, Georgia, the whole day through
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind.
Georgia, Georgia, a song of you
Comes as sweet and clear as moonlight through the pines.

Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you.

Georgia, Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind.

Melodies bring memories
That linger in my heart
Make me think of Georgia
Why did we ever part?

Some sweet day when blossoms fall
And all the world's a song
I'll go back to Georgia
'Cause that's where I belong.

Short version: Yes. A combination of both.

For 100 Wins, the Mets need to go: 12-8 (or better).

I can just hear Bobby Cox telling his team,"C'mon guys. We have to win two for the Mets."

The magic number is 3.


New Jersey, the third state.

The magic number has asked me to tell the Mets that it wants to spend as little time in New Jersey as possible. So they had better win tonight!

[metsmarathon]

the magic number just doesn't appreciate the great state of new jersey.

Three is a magic number,
Yes it is, it's a magic number.
Somewhere in the ancient, mystic trinity
You get three as a magic number.

The past and the present and the future.
Faith and Hope and Charity,
The heart and the brain and the body
Give you three as a magic number.

It takes three legs to make a tri-pod
Or to make a table stand.
It takes three wheels to make a ve-hicle
Called a tricycle.

Every triangle has three corners,
Every triangle has three sides,
No more, no less.
You don't have to guess.
When it's three you can see
It's a magic number.

A man and a woman had a little baby,
Yes, they did.
They had three in the family,
And that's a magic number.

3-6-9, 12-15-18, 21-24-27, 30.
3-6-9, 12-15-18, 21-24-27, 30.
Multiply backwards from three times ten:

Three time ten is (30), three times nine is (27),
Three times eight is (24), three times seven is (21),
Three times six is (18), three times five is (15),
Three times four is twelve,
And three times three is nine, and three times two is six,
And three times one is three of course.

Now take the pattern once more:
Three! . . .3-6-9
Twelve! . . .12-15-18
Twenty-one!. . .21-24-27. . .30

Now multiply from 10 backwards:
Three time ten is (30 - Keep going), three times nine is (27),
Three times eight is (24), three times seven is (21),
Three times six is (18), three times five is (15),
Three times four is twelve,
And three times three is nine, and three times two is six,
And three times one...
What is it?!
Three!
Yeah, That's a magic number.

A man and a woman had a little baby.
Yes, they did.
They had three in the family.
That's a magic number.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

The magic number is 2.


Pennsylvania, the second state

Well, the magic number is in Pennsylvania! It's going to spend the night on my couch, and in the morning I'm even going to let it eat some of my Pop-Tarts!
