I just adore a penthouse view....

The Mets (and Ashie's) current hot streak has propelled them from the cellar to the top of the NL East standings. It's great to wake up this morning and find the Mets sitting in first place.

What a difference a week makes.

Text message to my YLD friend: "At least one New York team is in first place this morning."

As John Harper notes today it's too early to pronounce this team as cured from the ills of last season, although it wasn't too early to bury them last week was it Harper?

If a week is a long time in politics then a week is an awful long time in this early Mets season.

I think I posted something a week or so ago (I'll have to try to find it) about how Jerry might need a 12-game winning streak to save his job.

Well, he's halfway there! And it certainly seems that the death watch is on the back burner for a while.

Which means that my hope of bringing back Bobby V is taking a hit.

All this winning is terrible!

I want to post the Mets lineup for today but Ashie is EN FUEGO when starting the IGT so I'm waiting for him.

So funny - they are winning and I am happy about that, but everytime they cut to Jerry in the dugout I think 'Shit, now we'll never get Bobby V. back'.


See, I'm thinking that they should go into a tailspin so Jerry gets fired and Bobby comes in on his white horse, turns everything around and gets them to ...um...first place.

I'm about 80 per cent sure that if Jerry were fired, his replacement's name would not be Bobby Valentine.

I'm 100% sure of that. Doesn't hurt to dream, though.

[Guest themetfairy]

I dream of Bobby coming back.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Well, dreaming and maintaining 100% certainty in the futility of the dream seems pretty painful.

I'm not quite at 100%. I'm probably around 75%.

But I'm enjoying the reality of the day too much to dream too much about replacing it with another one.

During a winning streak, there isn't much to do here on Masochist Island. It's either spend all our time finding futile dreams to nurse or we try and figure which Poison song we'd like to here ad infinitum if we had to hear a Poison song ad infinitum.
