Official Mets Divisonal Magic Number 2007 Countdown

[Benjamin Grimm]

Hopefully that rotunda will inspire them to get to Edgy's home city as soon as they can.

The Mets, by the way, can clinch TOMORROW if everything goes right.

Let's rush past Jefferson with barely a glance, and spend the night with John Adams.

And let's not linger long with George Washington, either.

On the bright side, the number for eliminating the Braves is now one.

[Elster88]

I'm really not in the mood.

[stevejrogers]

Well I was hoping for a big comeback myself as well alright

That would be really nice if our only goal was to keep the Braves out of the playoffs.

I am NOT going to post the picture of the gentleman from Qunicy, Mass who was the 2nd President and soon to be the subject of a Tom Hanks produced HBO miniseries, but in both races the number stands at 2.

[stevejrogers]

Aww s**t, GW represents the WC tragic number for the Mets.

How do you figure that? The Mets magic number is still 4.

And renaming a ten-page thread probably isn't kosher. It's like revising history. I think you should put it back to what it was.

[Guest Kid Carsey]

Fix the title, Steve. Now is no time to be dickin' around.

[Guest Edgy DC]

So, I guess it's sort of Jeffersonian now. Obviously, we have no magic number, but there's one out in the back gardens at Monticello.

[stevejrogers]

Yes but that fellow from Quincy, whose bio I'm listening to on my iPod should be arriving shortly to take the Magic Number from the Virginian.

Oh, and to quote him in regards to today, "Jefferson survives!"

[stevejrogers]

Well, incorrectly of course, but it is a hell of a final words.

[stevejrogers]

Apparently TJ wants to be seen, so lets indulge the man who wrote the Declaration and bought the Louisiana Territory

[Benjamin Grimm]

Now the Mets and the Phillies share a magic number of 2.

[stevejrogers]

The Whitehouse.gov official portrait does not do Mr. Adams justice, so here we go

[Benjamin Grimm]

Thanks to John Larroquette for the picture of John Adams!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Mr. Adams
Mr. Adams
You now possess our Metly magic number
Though you've never known your Pelfrey from your Humber
Join us and pray the Metsies pack their lumber

Otherwise, should the Mets should fail to win the division, I would be compelled to grab my old Adirondack, travel to New York, and go Offerman on him for jinxing the Mets.

I'm starting to have thoughts along these lines now...

Please, like internet posts really have ANYTHING to do with what goes on on the field.

SJR - "Please, like internet posts really have ANYTHING to do with what goes on on the field."

Of course they don't. They can, however, make you look pretty damn stupid when you start to count your chickens before they hatch or in this case, pennants before they're won.

Fair point, but 40 was a nice round number to start the countdown at. No matter how small the lead was at the time.
