Maybe we should all break out our lucky charms.

[Guest cooby]

The tried and true ones from years past.

I think some of us even have lucky couches. Nobody has thrown them out have they?

[HahnSolo]

Back in the 80s, John Travolta was in the booth promoting his new movie. Ralph made a comment like, "you're in a movie with Jamie Lee Curtis and I once dated her mother."

So for a while I would watch Met games with a photo of Janet Leigh on the TV. Somehow I thought this would bring the Mets luck. I might have to print one out and place it on the TV tonight.

[metirish]

I trust the velvet pants still fit then Cooby?

I don't have a lucky charm....damn

[Benjamin Grimm]

Please note: Any lucky charms that we might have used LAST September were clearly defective and should not be utilized this time around.

Given the urban legends about Ms. Curtis's birth, it's a good thing that Ralph went in that direction.

Satan will save us!

[Benjamin Grimm]

I had two nice old ladies come to my door this afternoon to tell me that Satan is in control of the world.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Well if that's not a good omen I don't know what is.

Yes they do! And I am going to go put them on

[Guest holychicken]

Giambi let me borrow his golden thong.

What do you think? Should I wear it?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Have it laundered first.

[metirish]

You better hope Jeter didn't have it last. Throw some Valtrax in the wash just in case.

This year was the first time in my life I have watched baseball without worrying too much about superstition. I figure, since nothing I did worked last September, all my good luck charms suck.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'm not at all superstitious, but even I sometimes find myself thinking that the Mets were doing better before I put my feet on the coffee table, or that they won't get this run home as long as the dog is whimpering at the door.

I even think such thoughts when I'm watching a TiVoed game from the night before! Even if my coffee table had magic powers, it can't be powerful enough to alter the course of history and change the outcome of a game that's already been played!

I'm on my way to Nationals Park and I made sure to wear my "1969" jeans from the Gap.

Ha , I have a pair of those , never made the connection before...nice one , maybe I will wear them.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Maybe we should all do 69 stuff tonight.

That was very funny. Sorry... LOL! ROFL!

Roger that. I'll bring in my gf for the 69 and then I will have her 86'd from the room.

[metirish]

Oh my ......I have nothing...

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Yeah...well...that's because your married now, irish.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Ben Grimm - "I had two nice old ladies come to my door this afternoon to tell me that Satan is in control of the world."

I certainly hope not, otherwise the Yankees will win the World Series.

[metirish]

Was Grim planing the 69's with those old ladies?

[Guest Kong76]

BG: I had two nice old ladies come to my door this afternoon to tell me that Satan is in control of the world<<<

I have no patience for religious solicitors and I'm not allowed to an-
swer the door for this reason.

"Satan? Cool, things are going as I planned!" *slam*

"God rules this house, he's here for coffee. Would you like to join us?"

"You ol' gals ain't wearin' bras are ya? Come on in, let's chat ... the wife
won't be home for hours!"

[HahnSolo]

The Janet Leigh photo didn't work. Sorry gang.

Well, no, but now I'm thinking that maybe things would have turned out better yesterday if I had. Oh well.

[Frayed Knot]

]Maybe we should all break out our lucky charms.

Well the Lucky Charms didn't work.
So today everyone has to break out their Quisp, Quake, Count Chocula or Frankenberry and see if they work.

[Guest Mendoza Line]

No lucky charms, but I'm putting my personal four game winning streak on the line at the game tonight. And I'm breaking out my new FAFIF retired numbers T-shirt for the occasion.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I think I need to go back to Hawaii. The Mets were winning and winning when I was there, and the losing has returned since I have.

If everyone wants to chip in for airfare for a family of four to go to Hawaii, I'll set up a PayPal account.

[Vic Sage]

Lucky Charms?
I've heard that they're magically delicious!
