You don't get the joke?It's not rocket science Mom.'We're the Aristocrats!'C'mon, that's hysterical.

Haven't seen 'The Aristocrats' yet and I'm not a fan of South Park but this is just too freakin' funny.Skip through the ads and click the South Park window.

No respect.What's next - debating the merits of Raisinets -v- Goobers in the 'Reservoir Dogs' thread?

Glad to hear it.

I cut Strawberry a lot more slack because as a Met fan he didn't let me down.Strawberry produced during his entire tenure with the Mets. He gave me my money's worth. He may have been doing drugs but he still did what was expected on the field..Gooden ripped me off. Like that time I gave that skanky guy on the corner of St. Marks and 1st $10 for a dime bag and he disappeared into a building to get my stash. Guy never came back.That's how I feel about Doctor K.

You know what? Coincidentally enough I think that there will be someone there filming a documentary about the Mets!Now where did I hear that?Damn, I cannot remember but I'm sure I saw it somewhere...

Yancy did you see this in today's NYPost?TEAM JUST CAN'T WAIT FOR BELTRANBy MIKE VACCARO.THE METS are the worst kind of tease when they play this well, when they pitch this well, when they hit this well. They are the worst kind of illusion.The Mets would do everyone a solid if they simply made up their minds:Are they as good as they looked last night during a workmanlike 6-2 win over the Pirates, as they looked on their previous homestand? If so, would it be too much to ask them to rattle off eight straight, or 12 out of 14, so they finally could substantiate their claim as contenders?Or are they as brutal as they've looked in just about every National League port of call this year? If so, would it be so terrible if they just dropped eight or nine in a row and ended this charade for good?In or out? Out or in?"I've said all along that we're one good hot streak away from climbing to the top of the wild-card list," GM Omar Minaya said last night. "We need to get well above .500. And the season is starting to get a little short."The rest of the National League keeps taunting the Mets every bit as audaciously as the Mets have teased their fans. The Astros lost to the Cubs last night. The Marlins lost to the Padres. The Braves even lost to the Dodgers, and the Braves never lose. Somehow, despite treading water for 41/2 months, the Mets wake up this morning 31/2 games out of a playoff spot."We still have a chance," Carlos Beltran said last night. "I believe that."That faith is keeping him off an operating table this week, despite the fact he has broken bones in his face that surely could stand to be repaired. Six days ago, Beltran was one-half of what may well be the most horrific outfield collision in baseball history. There isn't a soul alive who would begrudge him a stay on the disabled list to get well."I had a choice," Beltran said, "and I chose to not have the surgery so I can get back with this team and help it win."There's a small but vocal segment of Mets fans who will accept Beltran's decision with a shrug and a yawn, who come to Shea Stadium and boo an All-Star player 41/2 months into a seven-year deal, who clutter talk radio and jam up columnists' e-mail bins, who then forge off to places like ultimatemets.com and really let Beltran have it."The second coming of George Foster?" asks one blogger named "Jimmy." "It's looking like it.""I can't believe we're paying this guy $119 million to do what Timo Perez did with slightly more power," says "Mr. Sparkle."Tough room.But, then, Beltran always has been a lot tougher player than his cool facade would indicate. The Mets have scraped by in his absence. But he is still their best player. He is still the most accomplished at going first-to-third, at chasing down long outfield flies that lesser fielders turn into triples. Despite the dearth of gaudy numbers, he is still the Mets' grandest hope to make something out of this season.So, yesterday, he shagged a couple of pregame flies on the soggy Shea Stadium turf. He sprinted on the warning track. He took some live batting practice in the cages behind the first-base line. And he declared himself ready to resume work, pending the invention of whatever contraption the Mets can come up with to protect his face from further harm."There'll be no pressure on Carlos to come back," Willie Randolph said. "He'll only come back when everyone is agreed that he can come back. We won't rush him. We won't ask him to play before he's ready."They won't talk him out of it, either.In or out? Out or in?Without Beltran, the answer's a simple one. With him, it might be the same one. Sooner or later, the Mets have to find out. Sooner or later, they'll have to declare themselves.

Sorry Vlad.You ain't been around here long enough to know that I hold much fondness in my heart for the '77-'79 Mets.Buncha loosers but I thought they were just the cat's pajamas I did.

FSNY is broadcasting in Spanish tonight.MSG is English.

I thought you people knew me better than that.

Knowing what you know about me - anybody care to guess what Met I think of when I see #27 on the back of a Mets uni?

Man I have such a good non-pc joke that I could tell here.In the meantime though I agree - stupid decision. Sit it out Carlos.
