Labor Day seems like a good day for a countdown thread...

[stevejrogers]

Starting with this pretty sweet card of one of the earliest top homegrown, and with a pretty long career with the team offensive standouts in Met history

[Lefty Specialist]

The term 'kinna hurra' comes to mind.

Agreed. Go outside, turn around three times and spit.

[TransMonk]

This is just asking for heartbreak. Please don't.

[stevejrogers]

I already reported it due to tempting the wrath of the whatever from high atop the thing.

[MFS62]

It is no coincidence that your last post started with 666.
I hope Winston Smith was not right.

Later

Right now I see no reson to celebrate the fact that this team, despite their best efforts, is inching towards the playoffs. Its a joke. And its not a very funny one at that. Hey Tom Glavine, you suck.

2007. NEVER FORGET.

[Frayed Knot]

That was a shitty month but a great thread.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Damn, tha was rather pqinful to reread.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

My first response made me laugh.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Love Cleon, that card sucks.

[Elster88]

Between this and the gentleman in the other thread it's good to know some things never change but I love you Steve

[Guest d'Kong76]

I love Steve too, he bought me my last beer at Shea. Not
intentionally, but it's the memories that count...

August 15th!
I really laughed out loud.

Since the admins are ignoring the reporting of this thread...

What was reported? I'm largely off-the-air today. Got no emails.

Hold on. I'm still laughing.

I like how I made one contribution and it was musical.
I agree with Valadius. I start counting at 20.
But I do support this thread and your right to go for it at 21.

I reported this, under the "Off Topic" subject after the first few "STEVE, WTF" posts.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I'll have to re-read tomorrow, not getting what you mean
by reporting...

[Edgy MD]

Somebody clicked an icon nobody ever clicks and put Steve's initial post under hazard lights. Pretty cool if you ask me.

[Gwreck]

I have no problem with a magic number thread.

It might be duplicative of the NHOP thread but whatever, I still don't see a huge problem with it.

Time to get out of the shadow of 2007. That shit's not going to happen again.

[Guest cooby]

On Sept. 5, 2007, my dad died.

On the day of his funeral, I kissed him goodbye and whispered "Pedro's pitching tonight."

The Mets proceeded to tank. Even my mom complained.

Nothing has been the same for me since, but I'd love to see them win for my dad. Magic number away, Steve!

[Ceetar]

Phillies number for elimination is 2! Mets could start eliminating teams starting tomorrow!

[Fman99]

Fuck 2007. Then, when you're done, and you've had a nap and a snack, fuck 2008. Give it to them both.

Ah that was really beautiful to read! Damn '07 Mets!

[seawolf17]

Ya gotta believe. I refuse to acknowledge the fact that you reported your own thread. I'm all in.

[stevejrogers]

FINE!

Kinda miss this guy in the SNY studio

[Zvon]

I expected to see Tommie Agee somewhere in between here. Gah!
