Mets fans ready for funny farm

September 27, 2007

So I was perusing my wide-ranging topics of RSS feeds this morning. A black and white photography blog I follow that typically doesn’t even have a whisper of sports content took me by surprise.

And please check me into Bellevue where they have a special wing set up for Mets fans. It’s called the, “OMG Not Again Wing.” [...] Throw in the towel. Just stop playing. Forfeit the the last 4 games. Too much psychic pain is being inflicted on us mere mortals.

While I do feel bad for *some* seemingly perfectly nice Mets fans (yes, I’ve met a few), WOOOOOOO!!!! As the game appeared to be heading into the tank (which I was ok with - one loss in the series?), I decided to catch up on some book research. I sat on my couch with lighthouse books spread out around me and the game on the tv, in theory in the background. The books slipped to the floor as the Nats stormed back (go Church!) and captivated my full attention. So much for getting some work done! Sweeeep!

I’m going to gloss over the reason Luis Ayala closed in Chief’s stead last night because I have a strong aversion to that topic! Interesting, though. Nerves? Bad food? Eeesh. How do you wash and disinfect a glove? But wow, Ayala plowed right through the Mets’ power batters! Must be the pink-hat power taking hold!

Three more games left in the season to face the Phillies and the Nationals have now beat their record from last year without the players from last year (covered extensively elsewhere, so no need to rehash). I’d like to see newly anointed minor league pitcher of the year, John Lannan, given one more chance to pitch. Against the Phillies. Because I’m that evil.
