Last Post Before the Season Starts
We will be underway Monday against WASH. I chose to use a vacation day to watch the game from the sports bar. I think Opening Day should be a national holiday. The only people allowed to work should be Bartenders, waitresses, and baseball essential personnel.
I heard a Doug Stanhope routine about the Yankees. Stanhope said that unless you are betting on the game you should be ashamed to root for the Yankees. If you have that much lack of character that you cant take a risk, you might as well go to a casino, stand behind the dealer and yell: “Yeah @$$hole, how’d you like how the dealer busted you on that hand, jerk off?”
Funny stuff yet equally hateful towards the evil empire
Anna and Kris Benson divorced?
Wow they seem like such normal people. Not much to say there except why couldn’t this happen 5 months ago. It’s hard to say what would have happened because my opinion of Kris has changed so much since then but it should have made Benson easier to trade and get someone decent for him. To be honest I never liked Anna and quite frankly- she’s not that hot.
Looking at the matter in a non-Mets related way, I think that this will be the best thing that ever happened to Kris and the end of Anna’s “career.” Without her nonsense Kris may turn into the pitcher everyone thought he was going to be. For Anna she will be always be the third rate celebrity, annoying personality, whore we all knew she would be. With out the "Baseball's hottest wife" tag she won't be much of a story anymore.
Lastly, I got my 86 anniversary DVD set I’ve been waiting for and it is fantastic. From what I can tell this was filmed sometime ago as I’ve seen some of the interviews on other baseball highlight films. However, the interviews with Keith, Knight, and Dykstra were pretty enlightening regarding the mindset of the players. Mookie and Carter essentially repeated earlier interviews. The “home movie” style footage from the clubhouse provides the experience that simulates what it was like to win a series. there is a series highlight portion with a narrarator and music that will bring a tear to any real Mets fans eye. For those of us that have it burned into our memories the game footage has no real surprises. It is fun to watch game footage in its entirety. No score or count at the corner of the screen. No morons with cell phones waving to the camera. One of the best surprises was footage of Piazza asking Mookie if he would have beat Buckner to the bag. Neither one seemed to know the camera was on them so the exchange is genuine and unrehearsed.
Great DVD set and hightime something that highlights the Mets success and gritty determination rather than the “curse of the Red Sox” explanation. The curse thing is tired and worn out anyway. A great testament to the Powerhouse 1986 world champion Mets.
I am glad the organization is finally ready to embrace the 86 team and honor what was.
I just hope 20 years later we can do it again. Here we go - LETS GO METS!
