Mets Win! A Photo Essay

[Guest vtmet]

Well Fred didn't get the "meaningful games in September" yet...but looks like he was happy to trade it for "Champagne shower in September" instead...

And looks like you are correct, "googles" looks like it's Reyes based on the jaw-line and the little goatee...although I'm not sure that is the same "googles" getting Omar...SportsCenter showed Pedro snapping on the googles in the celebration...

Jeff looks like an annoyed Jeeves the proper butler...

So true. For so long last night, I kept wondering who was the tall guy going crazy with the many of the Hispanic players. For a while I thought it was the guy from the commercial: "I'm just here for the Bud Light." And I had no clue who he was until I realized this morning it was Oliver Perez.

Oh, yeah, and thanks to all for the great pictures.

I want to be the Russian towel guy.

This is really beginning to resemble an urban legend. In Baltimore, they refer to this as "Brabender's Law" -- the player who does the least contributing does the most celebrating.

Brabender was a role player on the 1966 WS champion Orioles. The team's EVP was Frank Cashen.

I got in a poorly done snit over it at the UMDB, where somebody said that Cashen said it about Doug Sisk.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Yeah, I saw that.

I'd bet every winning team has a guy about whom that's said.

Cashen would have to have been aware of the humor and memorability of that putdown, and probably said whatever he said, about whomever, with that in mind.

[Guest Edgy DC]

How embarrassing.

Whoever summoned Mark Spitz and brought the goggles to the champagne-fest is a genius.
