Was There A Game Eight That I Didn't Know About?

Dear New York Mets,

Oh, don't act like you're above reading this blog. I know you are. In fact, I know you have spies and snipers parked outside my apartment ready to end my life if I make too sensitive a joke about your front office, the chicken fingers at the concession stands, or your practice of sending 80 year old ushers to the upper deck.

So I know you're reading. And I have one request.

Can you please take down the flash animation on your website that tells us that the Mets are this year's National League Champions, and encourages us to go out and buy our Mets World Series gear for 2006?

Because when I click on it, it tells me that the products are "temporarily out of stock".

Gee, I wonder why. Maybe it was that small detail about us not getting to the World Series?

The knife is already in my back. Please stop twisting it.

Yours,

Metstradamus

(Editor's note: finally, the "Mets World Series" gear advertisement comes down in favor of their "outlet selection".)

Metstra-

You didn't hear about Looper, and his hacking skills?

Good gravy, what's next?

Helluva 24-hours, eh? Trevor Burbeck, Joe Niekro and Red Aurbach. RIP x 3.

Well, we're still #1 in gentlemanly conversation.

We've gotta be the favorite for the NL in 2007, no?

You should have gotten a screen shot of that.

They must've heard you because all I see is a link to learn how to get 2006 Post Season ticket REFUNDS.
