Thank you for bringing the humor back into this series- one of your funniest posts to date.<BR/><BR/>My attitude with the series, is just enjoy the October Mets baseball. it's been 6 years and the last time I didn't feel they derserved to be where they were anyway. if they win this series FANTASTIC if not I didn't expect it anyway-it's just nice to see them win the division and topple the Braves-that alone is enough for me this season.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12468344.post-1159977698407243192006-10-04T12:01:00.000-04:002006-10-04T12:01:00.000-04:00Your manergerial skills are imploding.
