The memory starts to go as you age. They say the eyes are the first to go, so I hope you can see this.

Geez. If someone had asked a trivia question I would've gone with a year from the seventies.

Awesome Yancy. Thanks.

Ultimate Mets Database. The reason we will never be able to lie about anything Mets-related.

At least that still leaves plenty of other things that we can lie about!

MVP is talk for November. Root for Wright to win the moment, the game.

So says the guy who posted his percentages as a thread to drool over like porn.

Just don't make this a sticky thread

I can't believe the same people are whining about fans booing are now also complaining about "M-V-P" chants for David Wright... If you want the fans to sit quietly in their seats go watch a damn tennis match.

[Elster88]

So you think it makes sense to chant MVP at David Wright after eight games? It's pathetic.

And when he breaks his leg in three places sliding into home in mid-May don't say your weren't warned.

Man - and peeps think that I'm bad with the baseball gods stuff....

rooting your guy on is pathetic? booing is pathetic? what form of expression isn't pathetic then? like i said, go watch a tennis game.

[Elster88]

]rooting your guy on is pathetic?

Chanting MVP in April is pathetic. I thought I made that clear.

That part was a joke.

[nymr83]

The only thing that is "pathetic" around here is certain people being so pessimistic that they are unable to enjoy the season, which, by the way, is going very well so far.

[Elster88]

"Certain people"?

[Guest Edgy DC]

So I'm gathering that you encourage tennis viewing.

No problem. It just seemed like you envisioned The Evil Eye on steroids!

Don't forget that the O's won it all in 1983 as well.

My marbles.

They're gone.

After today's game, it became 170 pitches with 6 swing and misses. I love David Wright.
