    Swisher gets cut a whole lot of slack becuase he's the joker on the team , the media guys love him......I've not read Harper but I would bet he would write that Swisher is the kind of guy a winning team needs.....even though Swisher hasn't hit a lick in this post-season his temamates appreciate how he keeps them all loose , case in point is Swisher getting a mohawk , even with his struggles at the plate and in the field he did that , Jeter and Rivera laughed when he walked into the clubhouse .....no surprise when later Jeter hit four homeruns

    A fun read all the same.. All Mets fans, I suspect, know and cherish failure. I once wrote a piece about the theology of the Mets, in which I argued that the Mets were truly like Christianity, because you have to WORK to believe in them. Yankee fans secretly know that their own love is indefensible, because it's too easy. There's nothing complex about it. It's like evangelical belief. Or Calvinism. But Mets fans know that they have to believe in the darkest of dark hours, against all hope, and this season is just such a time. This part of why the Davey Johnson-era Mets were so transcendent, because they snatched victory from the gaping maw of failure. With much bravado. They were failures as human beings, but as a team they were awesome. Whether this propensity to failure in the Mets clubhouse is FATED is a deep question, but I perhaps prefer to think that it is historically bound, owing to the failure of the city to really be able to back a second team effectively�what with the Yankees around. good stuff

    I remember the WS against Arizona and a Doctor I work with aghast that I was rooting hard for the D-Backs ...." how could you after what happened?"......very easily I said

    This is the one that Greg linked last night on FB.....I do like that Dave Rakowski felt compelled to go to the Mets Store ,it does seem rather convenient for the article though to find a guy from Allentown PA.

    Some comments I read at the Post Dispatch site had people wondering why LaRussa signed on for only one year.....a few wondered if Big Mac was being primed for taking over in 2011
  14. metirish
    Yes the media is digging around and finding Mets fans in strange places.....I'm surprised they've not tracked down Ben Grim , he's perfect for the articles...Mets fan in Philly land....also a New Yorker(IIRC).......oh who will he root for.....THIS IS HIS HELL....... Mike fucking Lupica is sucking on some serious yankee meat this past week , an article today lauding Hank & Hall the same guys he ripped the last few years.....I hate this time of year....I barely read the paper today becasue it was filled with nothign but yankee jizz.

    With her looks she'll get a job in no time.

    I guess I should have read the provided link.....this is a done deal La Russa did say he hopes being back in the game will restore some luster to McGwire�s public image. I�m hoping. I think that�s a byproduct � he�s back in uniform, and people can see his greatness,� La Russa said. He added that answering questions about his past won�t be part of his job description: �Mark�s not going to be hanging around the cage just watching BP. That work ethic is going to translate into a heck of a coach. � It�s a good time in his life. His kids are in school. His wife wants him to do it. He�s been hired to be our hitting coach because he can help our offense be better. � �This is the time for Mark to join our club.�

    It's not exactly like seeing Pedro wearing a Phillies cap but jeez....what were you thinking?
  20. metirish
    I like it , and I would think that by the end of Spring Training it's not even an issue , probably before that even....hold the impromptu press conference in the dugout at the training facility because that's where they happen now and answer all the questions and that's it.
