The Mets Magic Number ....

[Guest AG/DC]

Worst thread ever?

I think the photo of Don Hahn and Rusty is pretty cool.


Don Hahn is kind of a hard name to say. You'd think he'd go by Donny Hahn or something to make it easier.

The only thing batmagadanleadoff contributes is noise.

Mostly I just tune him out. I'll now resume doing so.

And speaking of Don Hahn, the other Mets centerfielder that season was so washed up, his once legendary skills so eroded, that most other MLB teams weren't willing to carry him on their rosters, even if he was willing to play for free. Yet hardly any Met's supposed to be allowed to wear his old uniform anymore. Strange.

You don't know when to quit do you Mags? I mean you do notice me not putting up Grover Cleveland's picture. And no, I don't mean The Great Alexander!

Give us the 23rd President, Rogers. I promise not to call you Jeets anymore. I didn't know you had to belong to some sort of secret club to call you Jeets, Rogers.

And don't call me Mags. Did I ever give you permission to call me Mags? I don't think so.

No, I hate the name, player, and the Yankees, but I'm called that by Kase, Seawolf, JCLB Ben, and any number of Cranepoolers who refer to me as such because its a joke based on posts where I sound too Yankee-fan ish, have a weekend plan at MFYS, openly defend certain things the Yankees do or players through the years.

Coming from them it's good natured forum ribbing. Coming from a newbie like you, it seems like someone trying to fit in with the "cool crowd." There's the difference.

Oh I see. They're cool and I'm not. Well if that's the reason, Jeets to you, Jeets.

Just for that

That's not true. Actually I've ordered a copy of "How to Tell Whether Someone is Celebrating the Mets Present Magic Number or Merely Noting it" from amazon.com. The website notes that 34% of all customers who ordered that book also purchased "Celebratory Posts or Merely Noting: Who gets to decide?"

I hope this will help.

I'm getting old and cranky. If we wake up to much more of this attention
starved nonsense your id will simply be turned off for thirty days.

There, you got your attention.

The guy has a thousand posts, SteveJ.

There ain't no cool crowd. Believe me. Check out the blue tarp picture for confirmation.

Hah, yeah maybe I'm becoming as cranky as Kase, and he has what, 10 years on me?

All us cool kids are sneaking smokes in the Red Light Forum when the admins aren't looking.

I'm giving this thread a rest for an unknown amount of time. How long? I don't really know. Maybe a day. Maybe three weeks. I honestly don't know. It goes without saying that anyone else is obviously free to continue this theme - so I won't say it since it goes without saying.

The Mets reduced their magic number by 12 since this thread was created 11 days ago, an outstanding record setting pace.* At that continued rate, the Mets would clinch the division with more than a week of regular season left to play, more than enough time to set up their rotation for the NLDS and to heal many of the usual player aches and pains that accumulate over the course of a season.

Let's just see what all these bad karma vibes are supposed to be about that worry some of you broken mirror seven years of bad luckers. Let's see what the Mets do with this thread in limbo. There's no jinx on my watch.

* To illustrate just how phenomenal the Mets present magic number reducing rate is, the Mets would have clinched the division five days ago, last August 27, had they maintained this pace since Opening Day. When was the last time a baseball team clinched their division a week before Labor Day?
