I could always turn off the TV at home.... Ditto...all of this. I went to three live games this season and all three were clobberings by the opposing team.

Looks like the pic originates from Creamer Logo's message board back in May of 2012 which says: Sportslogos.net poster wrote: It was intended to be used at some point in the 80's. To me, the most interesting aspect of it (besides it being powder blue, because everyone wore powder blue back then) is that it has a different interlocking NY. And overall, it actually doesn't look half bad. I wonder why the ultimately ended up scrapping it?
I, too, hope Sandy stays. I'd be surprised if Terry was back next year...though, I've said that a couple of times during his time here, so you never know.

I would gladly take Milwaukee if they were still in the AL. As a kid, I used that as an excuse to root for them. Now, I keep an eye on the White Sox, but consider the DH cheating and, therefore, it's not real baseball.
Every game I've attended this year has been a dud. I don't know that any one of them has been the worst singular experience, but all-in-all, my 2017 games will be the worst as a group. http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/MIL/MIL201705120.shtml http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/MIL/MIL201705130.shtml http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NYN/NYN201706150.shtml
I believe the Mets will be a drastically different team next season. I'm not sure what Harvey's role could be...but if he's around, I doubt he'll be relied upon for much.
