I finally got around to renewing my sponsorships and using former Mets to plug the Crane Pool. My strategy was to use UMDB's top 20 lookups so I renewed Ron Darling and added Lee Mazzilli. If you want to use this strategy, Rusty Staub is currently available for $40 and Kevin Mitchell for $56!

I've never quite gotten the Interstate references. We'd all be happy if one of our players was hitting the Capital Beltway, for example. And closer to Shea, we'd be incredulous if a Mets batter hit the Van Wyck Expressway.
All those flourescent colors in the uniform. Topographically though I can't imagine two states more different that Colorado and Florida, at least elevation wise.
I was really worried when Dice-K (or is it Dick-K?) loaded the bases and allowed the Yanks to go ahead in the fourth inning. I was pleasantly surprised when the Sox just took the lead back. Now Mariano Rivera is being lifted for Mike Myers. The Yankees had a chance to humiliate Boston's big $$$ acquisition but got themselve humiliated instead.
I like that he uses CHB (which means Curly Haired Boyfriend), Carl Everett's derogatory term for Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy (who may be the worst, reactionary, write-by-the-numbers, sports columnist ever).
