LOL, I mean you are being very territorial about this sort of thing.

I've been getting a kick out of Breuers shtick. I like it when his eyes bug out.

LOL, that slogan just brings up bad memories from a rather painful era for Met fans, including me. Most likely the least revered time period in Met history, one that hopefully has concluded.

Rogers, I invented the term MLBS, did I not?

Is it too much to ask folks not to be late-arriving, self-promoting, bandwagon-jumping, trash-talking tools that make the rest of us look bad? I think it is not.

Are you really LOL-ing this much?

A banner from 2006 at my house is bad because it "just brings bad memories from a rather painful era for Met fans, including me. Most likely the least revered time period in Met history, one that hopefully has concluded."

And I'm the wet blanket.

What a load of crap. 2006 was great. I "revere" it a lot more than I do 1993, for example. Or 2003.


The year was great, I was referring to the banner, and the obnoxious, presumptuous slogan (though less tone deaf than "Your Season Has Come" the next year, that led to "Your Postseason Has Come" that we're still waiting for) being part of an era in Met history that probably is the least regarded, by fans anyway, successful time frame in team history. Never mind it led to probably the worst time to be a Met fan since in just about every aspect.

There's nothing obnoxious about that slogan.

The worst time to be a Mets fan is any time another Mets fan starts to go on about his alleged suffering. What a waste.

With the Ponzi scheme and the complictness of the Wilpons, even after it caused the team to be cash strapped, EVERY problem with the stadium (which you even agree with), PR nightmares (with a clueless PR and legal consuel guy), all the way to this winter with the office harrassment and unfair termination suit the Mets have never earned the right to be a mainstream punchline than they have been for 8, 7 years. Never mind the '07 and '08 collapses.

Steve, you left out them issuing as press release for a scoreboard upgrade.

I'm on my way home. Got to get to work on the Superman blog.

*chuckle* Well played.

To be fair, as I said before, Breuer's schtick is of the bitter variety, I'm sure the Seinfelds of MLBS-dom will be out to counter his "it hurts to be a fan of this team" narrative!

Edie Falco threw out the first pitch today. Solid choice. Legit MLBS.

Steve Guttenberg has been a Mets fan since 1962, according to a Facebook clip posted by the club.

"Not a turkey in the bunch," he says of the current roster.

Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus appearing on the Mets broadcast wearing a Mets jersey -- but confesses to being a Red Sox fan. But he's from Mississippi, watched the Mets' Jackson minor league team, and proclaimed the Mets his favorite National League team.

I'll take any one who references the Jackson Mets. Haven't been a Mets affiliate since 1990, when they were Clint Hurdle's second managerial assignment, after two years in St. Lucie.

I have memory from a Mets' yearbook or program in the 1980s, depicting photographs of drying out the infield after heavy rain at the Jackson Mets' stadium by pouring gasoline on the dirt and setting it on fire. Can't find anything online about this. May have been another lower level Mets affiliate.

Ooooh, and here is the aforementioned Clint Hurdle with a mysterious W on his cap, when the AA Red Sox still played at Beehive Field.

That W would be for "Williamsport." Hurdle managed the 1991 AA Mets franchise there that year.


I know - They were the Williamsport Bills that year. I was trying to have a little fun here...

That's great and awful and great.

Am I the only only one resistant to the Jim Breuer having become the Semi-Official Voice and Face of Mets Victories?

I'm not sure why he should bother me so much. He never did anything to me.
