IGT - NLDS Game 3 - Mets at Dodgers - 10/7/06

[Guest Edgy DC]

Many years since I was here
On the street I was passin my time away
To the left and to the right
Buildings towering to the sky
It's outta sight
In the dead of night

(Ooo, wee, ooo) Here I am, in New York City!
(Ooo, wee, ooo) With a fistful of dollars!
And baby, you'd better believe...

I'm back!
Back in the New York groove!
I'm back!
Back in the New York groove!
I'm back!
Back in the New York groove!
Back!
In the New York groove
In the New York groove

In the back of my Cadillac
A wicked lady, sittin by my side
Sayin', "Where are we?"
Stop at third and forty-three
Exit to the night
It's gonna be ecstacy
This place was meant for me

(Ooo, wee, ooo) Feels so good tonight!
(Ooo, wee, ooo) Who cares about tomorrow?!
So baby, youd better believe..

I'm back!
Back in the New York groove!
I'm back!
Back in the New York groove!
I'm back!
Back in the New York groove!
Back!
In the New York groove
In the New York groove

Since we were on the road:

You get up every morning
From your 'larm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above
And people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty
And if your train's on time
You can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed
Look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day
And I'll be

Taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
I've been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime
Work out

If it were easy as fishin'
You could be a musician
If you could make sounds loud or mellow
Get a second-hand guitar
Chances are you'll go far
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows
People see you having fun
Just a-lying in the sun
Tell them that you like it this way
It's the work that we avoid
And we're all self-employed
We love to work at nothing all day
And we be

Taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
We be been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime

Mercy
Whooooo
All right
[instrumental Interlude]
Take good care of my business
When I'm away, every day
Whoooo

You get up every morning
From your 'larm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above
And people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty
And if your train's on time
You can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed
Look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day
And I'll be

Taking care of business (every day)
Taking care of business (every way)
I've been taking care of business (it's all mine)
Taking care of business and working overtime

[brief Instrumental Interlude]

Takin' care of business, whoo
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business (every day)
Takin' care of business (every way)
Takin' care of business (it's all mine)
Takin' care of business
And working overtime
Whoooo
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
We be Takin' care of business
We be Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business

Detroit 8
MFY's 3

Mets 9
Dodgers 5

Greg Maddux (former Brave) pounded

Triple Happiness? Judges?

BZZZZZZZ

Oh well whatever. Close enough.

[Willets Point]

They're singing "Meet the Mets" (1963 version) in the clubhouse. I love that. I wouldn't even expect many of the players to know the words the way we fans do.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

I'd call it quadruple happiness!

For the first time since 1988, the Mets are playing further into October than the Yankees are.

WHO OWNS THIS TOWN?

WE DO!

Well, the Braves didn't win today.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I just turned on SNY. Is that Todd Zeile? (speaking of beards)

Yessir it is.

Tuefel was in the studio, and had a look on his face like he thought the cameras would steal his soul.

The who?

Is Atlanta still in the league?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

"You kind of get tired of giving the other team credit," Rodriguez said in a somber Yankees clubhouse. "At some point, you just have to look in the mirror and say, 'I sucked.'"


Yes, Alex. Yes you did!

Have they traded him yet?

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

That will be one of the more interesting stories of the offseason: whether Alex Rodriguez returns to the Yankees.

I can't see that many teams can afford to take him on. The Mets maybe, if George pays some of the salary, but he wouldn't want to pay Rodriguez to play for the Mets.

[stevejrogers]

Amazing!

Getting ready for Wednesday is going to be fun

1992 72-90 6th

From what I've seen of him, I'm not sure I would either. They can keep the Narcissus of 161st Street.

This has been pretty close to a perfect day!

I'd take A-Rod at second base next year. Sure, he's a douchebag, but seriously, how sweet would that lineup be?

Reyes, A-Rod, Beltran, Delgado, Wright, Green, LoDuca, Milledge?

Plus, I'd get to boo him in person on a regular basis.

AND how amazing would it be to have A-Rod turn himself around for the Mets after tanking for the Yankees in the post-season. They'd be eating their fucking hats!

[Zvon]

...dont A-Rod hv a no trade clause?
....he keeps saying "Im going nowhere."

Lol,...this season he did go nowhere.
Nowhere near the World Series.

ok--a lil near.

[Willets Point]

Enough on A-Rod, this is our celebration.

The Mets are going to play for the Pennant!!!

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

I expect he'd love to get out of New York. (Not that going to the Mets would help in that regard.)

Maybe he could be a Dodger next year. That wouldn't overly surprise me.

I am celebrating. The demise of the Yankees is like dessert to our victory buffet!

[Guest Edgy DC]

A-Rod is just another guy whose season is over.

HaHaHa

I already worked a border cut out----
I guess the main reason i went with this non retro look was I got these great new post season logos from Chris Creamers site
( http://www.sportslogos.net/sport.php?s=2 )

And I imagine Ill probly be working the borders around those for as far as this journey takes us.

[metsmarathon]

="Zvon"]

[Zvon]
