(Editor's note: For more "gems" such as the ones above, join Metstradamus as he continues to make people regret buying computers with his weekly internet appearance on Sportstalk NY Live. It all happens Sunday night at 9PM on Ustream's new Talk USA channel ... click it. Don't be afraid. Mark Rosenman and A.J. Carter also welcome real guests, and this Valentine's Day you'll love interviews with 1969 Mets Jerry Koosman, Jack DiLauro, and Ron Swoboda. Plus, the author of The Last Days of Shea, your friend and mine: Dana Brand. It all happens Valentine's Night starting at 9PM. Now go buy a computer.)
