Willets Point

It would be a dramatic, kickass series for the ages. That's worth rooting for. And besides, if the Mets can't beat the best opposition possible they don't deserve to win.

Does he play Kingdom of Loathing?

Maybe he'll be paid in small bills.

I was trying to explain to my wife the other day about my dislike for the Dodgers. She was saying I should be pulling for LA since they have Lowe and Nomar and other former Red Sox I like. "But you don't understand, my father's side of the family is from Brooklyn," I had to explain.

It's a good alternative to SC.

I'm still rooting for a Phillies WC and a New York-Philly NLCS.

These are the options by the way: The Maltese Falcon The Asphalt Jungle Night of the Iguana Reflections in a Golden Eye The List of Adrian Messenger Beat the Devil The Man Who Would Be King The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean Treasure of the Sierra Madre The Misfits Moby Dick The Red Badge of Courage (I think I saw this one in school) Fat City Under the Volcano

My local indy movie theater is doing a big run of John Huston films on the centennial of his birth. I realize I haven't seen any of this director's films. Anyone have any reccomendations of Huston movies not to miss? Do you have a Huston filmography Vic? Thanks!

And then add another 11 wins to those 100.

Yeah, just a cheapshot based on the Mets historic poor performance in the House of Horrors. And now I'm off to the library services desk where I won't be able to sneakily watch/listen to this game.

Was it off the Mets?

Me gusta Carlos.

Thanks. Like I said, not trying to be a pest, just trying to clarify.

MLB.tv is going to drive me nuts playing that Hawaiian blues song and Tom Petty video during every commercial break.

I'm not busting balls, but on further review I notice that the days of the week are not consecutive even though the dates are so the last two NLCS are probably: Game 6 Wednesday, October 18, if necessary Game 7 Thursday, October 19, if necessary

Geez, I thought I was being called on the carpet.

They're really planning on playing 5 NLCS games on consecutive days?

No, the witch hunt technique of saying McGwire, Sosa, and Bonds are evil steroids-abusers when use of performance-enhancing drugs was wide-spread (and possibly still is) is wrong. The end game is that these guys were the best of their era even if that era was tainted and the records. Trying to strip away records of a select few undermines the overall problem. MLB and the media who turned a blind eye to questionable training techniques are just as guilty. The correct thing to do is to prevent use of performance-enhancing drugs now and in the future. You can't change the past.

The late 70's Yankees were fun especially compared to today's corporate, market-tested Yankees.
