    4. Your stadium is smack in the middle of the flight pattern for JFK airport (like Shea, a dump). Pathetic.
    5. Your stadium is located in a place called "Flushing." The jokes there are so obvious, I won't even bother to make them.
    6. Your first base coach, Rickey Henderson, somehow managed to return to your pitiful little team after departing ignominiously as a player because he sat in the clubhouse playing cards as your pitcher walked in the winning run during the NLCS (I was there; it was glorious). This is doubly pitiful .
    7. Your first base coach also doesn't know what a first-person pronoun is.
    8. Your silly mascot has cranial elephantiasis.
    9. Pedro still has a Jheri curl.
    may i offer a rebuttal:

    1)black is terrible i agree (www.ditchtheblack.com), but honestly, this coming from a team with those HIDEOUS red tops?
    2) the 69 mets totaly owned
    3) the 86 mets were the best team in the HISTORY of drunk messes
    4) its actually laguardia, not jfk. and the airport is fined for every plane that flies over
    5) flushing meadows is one of the most culturally diverse neighborhoods in queens, but whats more is that Shea is actually in Corona. make that dirty, i dare you.
    6/7) rickey henderson is the best player of his generation and any of his excentricities or rhetorical devices provide more entertainment and are far less offensive then those of that racist John Rocker
    8) our mascot is silly indeed, but he doesnt offend an entire race of people
    9) pedro is still cooler than anyone who has ever played for the braves. and you will all become witness to that this afternoon when he punishes the reds in his dramatic return.

    that is all. GO METS

    Ed Charles, Bud Harrelson, Jerry Grote, Cleon Jones, Boswell, Shamsky, and Don Clendenon were unstoppable in September. Pitching? Terriffic. Relievers? Ya gotta believe. Agreed.

    However, I caution your assessment based on two names:
    Ed Kranepool & Ron Swoboda.

    In the pantheon of teams, 69's Mutts were one-year wonders. Soon after '69, A's (Rudi, Jackson, Campy, Bando, Hunter, Fingers) and Big Red Machine were superior.

    Pedro vs. Zimmer! THAT'S cool!

    How about this image of Pedro:


    Sorry, if you're neither Slick Watts nor John McEnroe, DON'T WEAR A HEADBAND!

    Deion Sanders and Dave Justice were way cooler than Pedro could ever hope to be. Sorry, curl and all, Pedro still has to live with the legacy of shoving an old coach and wearing an Expo hat.

    FWIW, Wagner yesterday was one hurt/spent puppy, and he has had a bad stretch (see Phillies). The Mutts rested him two days before yesterday. Something is NOT right with him.

    The '86 Mets robbed Houston of a shot to the series.ROBBED, I repeat. The tying run allowed in the 9th should not have been allowed due to the fact that the ump missed the double play force at first so the run could score. Get that call right and it's game over, Astros prevail.

    Your rebuttals are duly noted, and many of my criticisms were admittedly the pouty results of a foul mood.
    But this assertion regarding Pedro is false, false, false. He is not cool. He is not even that good anymore. If he does manage to get into the HOF, he won't even do it as a mutt.

    I fully beg to differ on the account that Mike Scott is a dirty dirty ball scuffing cheater, who i believe has all but admitted to scuffing balls during that season.

    oh and by the way, pedro is back, and after some initial jitters, hes ready to continue kicking I'm a real wanker for saying this.I'm a real wanker for saying this.I'm a real wanker for saying this.I'm a real wanker for saying this.I'm a real wanker for saying this.. i know in my heart of hearts that you bravo fans out there (and silly phillie phans, too) are shaking in your timbs right about now, since we have five (count em) SICK starters for the rest of the season.

    oh and another thing, since when hasthis guy been cool? and for the record, anyone who at the frustration of fans comes out and says "They (Yankee fans) can't get any rougher on us unless they show up with Uzis," is the OPPOSITE of cool.

    Now, to demonstrate Pedro's coolness look no further than the picture above - do you think he gives a damn that you dont like his headband? also this.
    watch the video if youve got time, right around the 38 minute mark.

    go METS

    Funny... the video link had an opening commercial that talked about former Brave Hank Aaron. Nice link!

    To be honest, your #9 cool remark was in response to Wilson's Jheri curl remark. I continued with Wilson's fashion statement. Neon Deion (pre-Tim McCarver splash down) was known for his clothes ... and if I am not mistaken a fedora and a Jheri curl. But really, hot dog Deion? Shall we discuss former Mutts and their commercials?

    FWIW, the photo of Pedro was his Wiki photo from this afternoon, sans Jheri curl. I guess you can wear a headband after Labor Day!

    Justice was pure cool in the 1995 World Series, calling out the Atlanta fans, then backing it up in the winning game.

    Sorry, but Pedro's Don Zimmer knockdown was as uncool as it gets (ahhh... that was before he became a Mutt). I guess now that he is a Mutt, he is a righteous dude, eh?

    Pedro in his prime (Expos/Red Sox days) was a solid pitcher with 3 Cy Youngs. We'll see if he has some more left in him. Given Wagner's troubles (and given the Mutts depth in starters), Pedro might be amazing in the bullpen ... a la Smoltz. Sounds crazy, but if you only need three starters in the post-season, I don't think he ranks higher now than Glavine and Maine. If El Duque is okay by the postseason, Pedro might be scary as a reliever. I used to think Wagner was scary, until I saw him yesterday. He is NOT himself lately.

    So what was it about the Phillies that made them sweep the Mutts (and where were those Mutts in the Braves series)?

    Glavine got a VERY respectable round of applause at the Ted. VERY few boos. Glad to see him get applause ... although I wish he had been knocked out of the game sooner.

    Cheers,

    I didn't mention it, but since you did...

    ...I think he did scuff balls. Heck, he might have scratched them too. We don't have an argument here. Ball scuffing does not change the fact that from the angle I had on TV, the twin killing was complete. Replays were not shown at the time. Editors had decided that it was more important at the time, to show the tying run crossing the plate only.

    PS-I don't imply for one moment that Houston would have won over the RedSox.

    9-8, Braves start 8th inning down 8-2. Great comeback. It ain't over till it's over.


    Still might be over.

    Well, we suck, but at least we took the Phillies out of the WC.
