Time Flies

It was five years ago today I started this blog.

I guess today is my blogoversary.

(Editor's note: The traditional five year gift is wood. So, will you guys hit already?)

A sincere thanks to everyone who was a part of this madness, whether it be those who comment, those who link to me, those who I have befriended, and to my family who puts up with me.

I plan to commemorate this in a big way. Stay tuned ... y'all will find out soon enough.

    Happy Blogoversary Metstradamus. I am not much for comments (this is my first one) but I have been a avid reader for three years now. Thanks for the laughs.

  4. Weesle: Okay. But if the three of you want the expensive seats, I may have to call Oprah in on this.

    Rusty: No, thank you. And please come back.

    Homebrewed, you might want to see a doctor about that.

  6. Congrats Metstra on the anniversary. No matter how frustrated I get with the Mets, your blog always brings a laugh, just when I need it the most. You're the Keith Hernandez of Mets Blogs.

  7. The Mets celebrated your blogoversary in style tonight with that doubleheader sweep! This looks like a totally different team...can't believe I will say this, but I'm actually a bit optimistic for the first time in about a year and a half.

    Happy Blogoversary Metstra and keep up the great work. I've been reading since 2007 and your posts have certainly helped me through these rough seasons!

  8. Happy anniversary - glad the boys could give you a good day! (Well, Ollie was not so much on board - maybe he's seen your work.)

    Happy anniversary Metsra!

    One of the things that makes being a Met fan bearable is knowing that your acerbic rants will hilariously dissect whatever ridiculous situations this inept organization constantly finds itself in.

    P.S. I still laugh to myself every time I walk through the not Angel Berrora Rotunda.

    Well, only been here for two of them but love it. I nice relief from Mutsblog Rah-Rah. You and Bitter Bill at the Daily News reflect my views and keep me laughing. "The Stimulus" might be the all time great nick name. Good luck!

  21. Five years?! Awesome! It's been great comiserating with yo on-line.

  22. Congrats, and most of all, thank you. This is really more than a blog, it is a support group and counseling service to Mets fans.

    I live in the Philly suburbs surrounded by Phillies fans (one of them is in my family), so your site is a welcome outlet and forum for me.

    Keep up the great work!

  25. Additional generic compliment, Metstradamus.

    Keeping hitting them out of the park, leaving everything on the field, taking it one game at a time, keeping within yourself, doing What it Takes to Win, being gritty, getting your blog dirty, and, always, taking one for the team.

  26. Happy Blogoversary Metstradamus.

    I am a relatively new blogger, and reader, but have enjoyed your posts since coming across your blog.

    I can only hope I'll be going as strong five years from now.

  30. Congrats on the anniversary, mestra, and on having one of the awesomest, serially entertaining blogs going.

    So, these Mets, maybe they can be something this year…

  31. Really, my therapist should be leaving this thank you, Metstra. Thanks to your cathartic rants, I now very rarely greet people by screaming "Heilman," and then weeping uncontrollably.

  32. Happy Happy Joy Joy Metstradamus! Now, where the hell is your post about our team being in FIRST PLACE?!?!?!?!?!

    off the anniversary topic:

    Mestra, didn't you come up with the nickname "The Stimulus" for Ike Davis? Apparently he is aware of it and now there's a poster!!

    I hope your royalty checks are in the mail!
