Brett Gardner is on the DL, so we won't have to worry about "Gardner plants one!"

Right now, is it better to be a Mets fan or a MFY fan?

Mark Simon left out that no MFY fan could write a series preview as clever as Fman99's entry (above).

[Fman99]

Thanks, all, for the positive praise. Glad I could provide a bit of titillation... at someone else's expense.

And forgive my stats being a couple of days old, I wrote some of this earlier in the week.

This is unacceptable.

It's not like we weren't warned this was coming folks. From the very first entry in the KTE Assignments thread:
FMan: "I would love to take the two Yankee series. I think that's the best vehicle for dick jokes"

jesus, that's such a succint depiction of the douchebaggery that must be necessary to be a yankees fan. it's better to be a yankees fan, because, even if we suck, we can still pretend we're great beacuse of something somebody did back in the fucking 20s. we'll always have our history, so we never have to risk our fragile emotions being run up and down a roller-coaster of a season, or a game, or a lifetime, because, well, we can always take solace in the 26 rings thing. we'll never have to face adversity, as a yankee fan, or there can never be a downside. choose yankees, and hte going is easy. and despite there not being any lows against which to compare hte highs, you can always pretend that the highs could not ever be higher when they do come, because it must be so, as they are the yankees, and the fans deserve it more than any others.

it's a pretty disturbing mentality, imo.

i mean, in a nutshell, isn't yankee fandom the exact same thing hte devil promises you? take the easy path. no suffering, only good times and better times. come, just put on the pinstripes and bow fealty to the interlocking n and y.

First start of Bay's career batting as low as eighth. Strange lineup.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Go Mets. That's a great lineup!

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Duda looks like a DH.

not as strange has having 10 players listed. STRANGE

[Edgy MD]

I feel like the coulda used Hairnet or Bay to split up some lefties. I fear that Boon Logan will be able to get an easy three outs in there.

[bmfc1]

Yes to what Edgy just said. Also: how many #5 hitters have 0 homeruns?

Classic KTE
Two big thumbs up for

the fireman

[Edgy MD]

Man, that's a strange stadium. Be nice if we can hit some of those upperdeckers.
