Benjamin Grimm Jun 16 2009 11:21 AM Well, I just now read the visitor comments, anyway. Nice job by Edgy, but it's probably fruitless to argue with an idiot. Edgy DC Jun 16 2009 11:51 AM I'll take what fruit I can get. Sometimes only grains. Benjamin Grimm Jun 16 2009 11:58 AM At least, anyone who reads the comments will have additional evidence of his idiocy. I love how he KNOWS the Mets are in the shadow of the Yankees because he's from New York (like you're not) and the fans feel animosity. Doesn't that cut both ways? If two fan bases don't like each other, how does it prove that one is in the shadow of the other, and not the other way around? Edgy DC Jun 16 2009 12:12 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jun 16 2009 10:28 PM Maybe he doesn't know what shadows are.

Dwight Gooden and Daryl Strawberry, two key members of the Mets 1986 World Series victory, spent much of their careers battling drug and alcohol abuse." If the selection above doesn't make it abundantly clear, let me: he's baiting Met fans, and bumping up his pageviews in doing so. Edgy touched on the important points in his response. Trust me when I say there's no need to read this-- it's a reminder that when you take the "smart" out of "smartass," you're staring at excrement.
