Mother, she's just a stranger... hungry, and the weather's bad...

I was thinking the same thing. This guy is the Norman Bates of Mets fans.

Are those windows in the background? No Mets' curtains?

I can smell that house in those pictures. Look how filthy the walls are! Look at the worn floors.

What initially got me was the pile of foam Number One fingers in the corner. Then what really got me was realizing there was a second pile behind the lamp. He's less a Mets fan than a clutter bug, one might think. More non-Mets crap than Mets crap there.

Somebody needs to have a yard sale.

I would hope, that if I lived with my aging mother amid a sea of smelly old baseball crap, I'd be self-aware enough to at least know not to expose that fact to the entire Internet.

Or did this guy have his photos hacked along with those of Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton?

In my office, I have a small Jason Giambi bobblehead. It's mounted upside down (by Velcro), it has a face that's been burned and melted, and it has a nail in its ear. It has a cartoon bubble that says "Mommy!"

This is all courtesy of my 8-year-old (at the time). He made his Dad proud. And Yankee fans who visit my office always comment in wonder and amazement at the unbridled hatred on display.

I had a Yankees el duque beanie baby tied up and hung in my room for a while. My college roommate made me take it home with me because a girl had given it to him and he didn't want his GF to know that.


speaking of which, I accidentally acquired a ugly Yankees toy truck. What's the best way for me to destroy it utterly?

Film a mini version of the O'Doyle Rules scene in Billy Madison.
