Lucky clothes, lucky charms, lucky chairs

Goatee - getting very bushy.

Question: Do we keep these beards as long as they are winning games or as long as thwey are winning series'?

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm not shaving until the Mets go home in glory.

[Guest cooby]

You mean when they go to heaven?

[Guest Edgy DC]

I did sound like the Apostle there, didn't I?

No, just temporal glory of a World Championship, amen.

[Guest cooby]

Amen, brother

[Guest cooby]

At 7 o'clock my husband and I got in the car, turned on the heater, and drove to Dairy Queen (I got a pumpkin pie Blizzard, him a mocha moolatta) We'll see if they're lucky!


Walked in the house a few minutes ago to see the final out, har!

[Guest KC]

Down 5-4, I finally broke out the secret weapon. Put on the Oscar Madison
hat ... I think a few of you have seen it. It's not pretty, it smells if you have the
guts to sniff it ... ground out to the pitcher, inning over.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Good move.

Until the final game they play this year; either via elimination or the ultimate victory.
After that it's up to you (and your wife)

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

If they win the World Series you guys have to keep your beards until the Mets get eliminated in 2007.

And if that doesn't happen, on to 2008.

[Guest cooby]

My boss is handing out Dilly Bars! Maybe DQ will be lucky again

[soupcan]

I'm gonna start to lok like Victor Buono pretty soon...

[Guest cooby]

I have an old crimping iron you can borrow

[Guest cooby]

I noticed tonight that Oliver Perez pitched better when I took off my glasses.

I'll keep that in mind for his next start.

[Guest cooby]

Meanwhile, I'm back to my original outfit of orange hoodie, blue scrubs. And if they win I'm wearing it again tomorrow

[soupcan]

Keeping the facial hair but going with a different cap for tonight's game.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

My green "Kiss Me, I'm a Mets Fan" shirt, along with wristbands and blue and orange intertwined scrunchies. I'll bring out the big good luck talismans closer to game time.

[Guest KC]

Oscar Madison hat saved me last series, it's gonna save me again.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Lucky TV in the master bedroom.

[Guest cooby]

I'll prolly get some looks for wearing a neon orange hoodie two days in a row, but that's their problem.

Wait'll next week.

[soupcan]

I switched hats last night.

My black/blue brim number didn't do the trick last Friday so I went with the classic blue, orange 'NY'.

I'm riding the hot hand from here on in.

(Goatee almost long enough to start acting as a flavor saver)

Me yesterday:

8 p.m. "None of this lucky shit works. I'm just going to watch the game."

11:30 p.m. "It must be because I didn't use any of my lucky stuff. Maybe it's actually unlucky stuff. Or maybe they win when I'm not being superstitious. Ok, for Game 7, I have to make sure to not be superstitious."

[Guest 86-Dreamer]

for me it has been the "Mamas special" sandwich available from the Mamas of Corona stands at Shea. I can't go to game tonight, but friend has promised to go to Corona and pick one up for me. Whether it is lucky or not, it is the most 'Amazin sandwich I have ever had.

Really? I've never had one. I'll have to try one...




NEXT WEEK!

[Gwreck]

I changed the mojo by entering through Gate E last night instead of Gate D. It had been Gate D for the entire playoffs before, but it'll be Gate E again tonight.

My lucky hat is starting to get pretty bad. It was retired from regular season use a while ago, but it's still carrying a 5-1 postseason record with it so it'll always be around for the playoffs.

[Gwreck]

Mama's at Shea are indeed quite good, but you'll get a slightly bigger sandwich for less money if you go to the actual store in Corona.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Is there more than one Mama's at Shea?

I'm aware of the one at Field Level. They have a little entrance corridor so you can get to it even if you don't have Field Level tickets.

It was a tasty sandwich. It's nice that ballparks have more selections than they used to.

[Guest Rotblatt]

I'm wearing the same undershirt & jeans I wore yesterday, and I kept the change in my pocket from yeterday IN my pocket.

CF, I decided I wouldn't knock on wood whenever I thought/heard something vaguely positive about a Met our our chances, which has become second nature to me in the playoffs. Needless to say, I'm not knocking on wood today either.

I believe they have a stand on the Mezzanine as well.

[MFS62]

I won't be wearing the hat I wore to the game last Friday.
For those of you who saw me and were wondering what it was, it is a Columbia Bombers (their old SAL farm team) cap. I spent a lot of time there on business and got it.
