I kinda don't want to see any uniform fronts on this thread right now, considering how much these guys are backing into this.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Agreed, too celebratory. It's all over fb too. I don't really look
at the twitter thing but imagine it's there too.

The Mets have a 6-game lead over the Nationals because they beat the Nationals head-to-head 6 straight times. They've earned it.

Plus what Frayed Knot says about building up a big lead to cushion you during a period of suck.

I hear what you're saying... But the Mets have been to the playoffs 7 times. Enjoy it.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I hear what you're saying, but there's little that's enjoyable about the way they're playing right now.

[Elster88]

They're losing games right now, but they're going to make the playoffs and the future is bright on the strength of five young starters alone. Life is good.

That photo is the cat's pajamas, DGW.

It's the cat's vagina, that's how good it is.

Damn, I was going to try and make a Pussy Galore joke to tie it all together, but Goldfinger was only the third film in the James Bond series...

7th book though. That averages out to 5.

I'd bet we can find DGW in the background of that guy's shot.

Hey, I thought you put a moratorium on Hollies references.
