Lucky clothes, lucky charms, lucky chairs

[Guest cooby]

I went through my closet this morning looking for just the right outfit, and I decided my 1986 World Champions sweatshirt was just a little too threadbare, my Mets tee shirts are not warm enough, and the plastic rain poncho probably would be too noisy.

Then I saw it, glowing in the 40 watt lamplight! My Mets orange hoodie!

So I'll be wearing it to work over a blue turtleneck and either my black wind pants or my navy blue scrub pants. (I drew the line at wearing my orange scrub pants with an orange over sized hoodie)

Bernie shirt is to be used in emergency.

No beard.


What are you guys doing for luck?

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Nothing. The last time I did something for luck it backfired horribly. I was convinced that the only way the Mets would win Game 7 of the 1988 NLCS was if I was eating Kentucky Fried Chicken while watching the game. I went to great lengths to find a KFC (I was in a hotel that night) and we all know how that turned out.

My beard turns 4 (days) today. I looked like a scraggly amish wannabe. Coming in sparsely on the front of the chin, and heavy along the ridge. My mustache is pathetic (huge bald spot right beneath the nose, but heavy near the corners of the mouth.

Shaved the neck/throat yesterday or I'd have gone wild with itchiness.

Amazinly, Wifey still hasn't noticed.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

You have a baby now. It'll be years before she notices you again.

Started the goatee (trans: stopped shaving) after the Mets lost the second game to Atlanta, so my goat is riding this 4 game win streak. Keeping it for now.

You could say it has been bad luck for the pitching staff but wins is wins.

Changed the homescreen background on my Blackberry from the 'NEW YORK' from the Mets road grays which had been there for a while to a Mr. Met after news of Duque's lameness.

We'll see where this gets us.

Little blue and orange bracelets.

Mets bracelet that KB gave me at the 1986 reunion game.

Mets earrings.

Mets cap.

Special good luck charm.

OK - I'm ready to leave for the game....

Little blue and orange bracelets


I forgot mine! I will put them on at lunch

[Willets Point]

I rotated in a different Mr. Met avatar. The Mets started playing like poopie when I put the first one up.

[soupcan]

Ooh, I like that one better.

[Guest Edgy DC]

It looks like Mr. Met is standing on a surface of poopie when you put that one up.

Yes. And I'm planning on forgetting her birthday tommorrrow.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Bad move, JD. VERY bad move!

JD, you may "forget" but she won't.
EVER
Trust me on this one.

Beard, cap, jersey.

[Guest cooby]

My boss just asked me if I was wearing a halloween shirt!

Your boss is obviously a heathen.

[Guest cooby]

Well, she's nice and she's pretty so I cut her some slack.

But sheesh. Halloween.

[soupcan]

She was probably thrown off by the mask you are wearing.

[Guest cooby]

Why, you....

Nobody likes an art critic. You better hope Zvon doesn't take offense.

[MFS62]

That's not poopie.
He's standing on the warning track - the place made famous by Dave Magadan's fly balls.

Later

[Guest cooby]

I thought maybe he was playing infield

[Guest cooby]

Having that dumbass Tim Robbins in the booth just about did us in! They can't be doing that!

[Guest cooby]

Today I remembered the wristbands, and discovered I have two orange ones. Scarlet did you give me one? I only remember ever buying one.

If so, thanks!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

I think I may have. If so, you're welcome

[soupcan]

The goatee lives to see another game.

I also now have a new lucky hat.

[Guest cooby]

Oh! That's right!

I was going to say, keep growing those beards, boys!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Shaved the neck today.

Wish I was Greek. George Michael can grow a full Kenny Rogers beard in 90 minutes.

[Willets Point]

Bridge/warning track/poopie Mr. Met seems to be doing the trick so far.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Well I say Willets Point starts the the IGT again and we'll see if he can put together a winning streak. If you can't be around the start of the game, may I request that you please do it NOW!!!!!!
