How Do You Feel?

[Frayed Knot]

I was feeling OK, but now it has come to my attention that there will be no baseball men on my television screen tonight.
Does anyone know which government agency I contact to complain about this situation? Will I have to go directly to Hillary?

Exhausticated... my wife's brother died this week and between that and
the baseball excitement I haven't slept enough. Not as excited as 1986 or
2000, but I'm less emotionally invested in baseball than I was in those
years. But I'm pretty still fucking excited!!!

(certainly not excited enough to pleasure Sandy though)

One thing that made me laugh and smile early this morning was the guy on
the local news who I'm pretty sure is a Yankme fan said there's a Mr. October
again in New York and his name is not Reggie Jackson!!

Condolences to d'Kong76.

I feel so good that I started singing aloud to a song on the loudspeaker at a Subway.
And I'm tired. It will be good to get to bed a little earlier.

Assignment for Zvon: a photo of Daniel's back with "MURPHY" replaced by "OCTOBER."

Requiscat in pace, Kong-in-Law.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Thanks guys, from both of us.

I'm exhausted, and looking forward to a few nights of real sleep.

Estatic.

Hi everyone! It's been a while, but I've been feeling like I had to check in and catch up.

[MFS62]

Sorry to hear that, Kase.
Our thoughts are with the family.

Later

I love that this is bringing back all our old forum friends!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Hopefully they'll stick around!

[Edgy MD]

Wow! Rottblatt!

[G-Fafif]

I'm feeling a little tired. Might not be ready for another Mets game until Tuesday night. Anyone know if they'll have one then?

I'm definitely rooting for that series to go seven games. I rarely watch games that don't involve the Mets, but I did tune in to a few Nationals games in September when they were threatening to narrow the Mets' lead. So I do watch games that affect the Mets. I may want to get an idea of who the players on these teams are. For the Blue Jays, I know R.A. Dickey, of course, and I'm familiar with Tulowitski. I don't think I can name any other Blue Jays. (Poor Jose Reyes; stuck watching these games from a motel somewhere in Denver.) And as for the Royals, I don't think I can name a single player on that team. Do they still have Cookie Rojas and Freddie Patek?

You don't think Reyes would go home to Old Brookville or the Dominican?

[Benjamin Grimm]

No, I think he's sitting in a Motel 6 off of some Colorado interstate.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Quite pleased and happy, but tired. Looking for a few nights of relaxation before the start of the World Seriess.

[Guest themetfairy]

I love the fact that we have this period of time to just bask in the glow of winning the pennant.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Thanks, MFS.
I feel great this morning despite getting up at four. I'm gonna do
some glow basking today and tomorrow watching the AL game(s)
and their fight to see who plays THE NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPS!!

[Lefty Specialist]

Wearing my NL champions hoodie to work today. Dress code be damned, I'm glow-basking.

[Edgy MD]

Slept like a rock last night. The sleep of the just. The sleep of a champion.

me too!

Ten years from now, as this dynasty starts to wind down, we will look back and think it was cute that we used to get so nervous before a World Series game.

But right now I'm fucking nervous as all shit.

[Zvon]

Had a problem unwinding last night, today I'm extremely excited.

[bmfc1]

I keep looking at the clock. No rain delay, please!

[Guest themetfairy]

Antsy as all hell!

[Lefty Specialist]

I'm not getting ANY work done today.

I haven't been this excited about a Mets game since 1986. They were in the World Series in 2000, but it was against THEM, and there was a certain feeling of dread about the whole thing. This is clean and fresh and shiny and dread-free. Even if they get swept it's not like I'm surrounded by jerkwad Royals fans. So I'm nervous and excited all at once.

Waiting 5 days has just ratcheted things up. I need them to play baseball.

[Centerfield]

I really think part of this is not knowing anything about Kansas City and how they will react to the Mets pitching.

I'm hoping that those numbers we are seeing are a result of facing pansies in the AL Central. And that when they face real pitching they will show themselves to be the little bitches that they are.

I feel like crap. I just want all this to be over. Then I can either remember it happily the rest of my life or shut it away with all the other disappointments. All I remember from 2000, for instance, is Clemens and the bat, and Benitez refusing to throw strikes to lefthanded batters.

[metsmarathon]

Hello, Little Person! How are you today? Is you mood quite terrific or only okay? Are you happy as a hippo? Or angry as a duck? Maybe sad as a chicken? (Can you sadly say �CLUCK CLUCK�?) Are you�grumpy as a moose? Or excited as a dog? Worried as a rabbit? Contented as a frog? Perhaps, like a pig, you are sweetly amused. Or perhaps, like a cow, you�re completely confused. You might feel that, somehow, you�ve lost all your fizz. Or you�re frazzled like a �um�frazzled thing. (I�m not sure what it is.) Well, I hope you are happy. But if you are not, you have friends who will help you. We all like you a lot. And a difficult mood is not here to stay. Everyone�s moods will change day to day. Unless you�re that duck. He�s always this way.

don't be that duck. lets go mets!

If this is really how you feel then why bother?

Because the before and the after (hopefully) are where the fun is. The during is the hard part.
