New Orleans Parodox

[Guest Edgy DC]

The predicted New Orleans Paradox kicked in today, as Ben Johnson was pulled from last night's game (and it was only in Omaha, rather than some far flung point like Vancouver) but still unable to be in uniform at the start of today's game.

The Mets are playing with a three man bench --- Lo Duca-Newhan-Franco --- today, with Shawn Green and Carlos Gomez banged up.

If I were a betting man I woould bet that the Mets wil lnot be in NO more than two seasons.

They get another hurricane, and New Orleans may not be in NO for more than two more seasons.

My prediction is that, once the Phillies abandon Ottawa for Allentown, the Blue Jays will grab Ottawa and the Mets will get Syracuse.

I think the Mets should move a franchise to Bridgeport, dammit

I hope they stay in New Orleans. I know the brother of the g.m. and hope to get down there one of these years to catch a game and see an old friend of mine who lives there.

Oh, sorry couldn't resist =;P

I worked in Bridgeport for three years for what was then called the Bridgeport Post.

My wife's car was stolen twice in a span of two weeks, one time ending up in Father Panik Village.

I've heard the city's a little nicer these days, but it was a scary place then.

[Guest Iubitul]

Bridgeport has been cleaned up a lot - most of the criminals are now running the political scene there...

Well, Father Panik village is gone now, and Harbor Yards is right next to the new train station - there are still quite a few seedy areas, but there is a lot of improvement, too.

You Connecticutians may not get a Mets farm club, but make sure you get to Uncasville August 23rd-26th when Mohegan Sun hosts the Ahmad Rashad Celebrity Golf Classic.

The defending champion team from 2006 is Rashad himself and his partner Vince Coleman. Other participating Metlies include Gary Carter and Doug Flynn.

[Willets Point]

I'll go to throw firecrackers at Coleman. Then when the cameras turn on me, I'll propose to Phylicia Ayers-Allen on live TV.
