Good stuff
it really doesn't get old.

kinda like the endy grab or the coup de boule.

The Endy grab is a melancholy thing for me.
I live IT, but there are a bunch of missed opportunity-type memories associated with it, so it's hard for me to think of it in isolation.

I LOVED it, I meant to say.

Yup
Definitely bittersweet, especially having been there. Since I've never watched any of that game on video I can watch replays of "The Catch" in something of a vacuum; most fans can't do the same.

I thought the series was ours after that.
It was just another notch up the roller coaster before Le Grande Crashola.  The last one, really.

I have to say that the Giants are dong a fine job
of raising and then bashing down my hopes for them this season as well.  Before the season started I thought they had Super dreams.  I still look at them and feel like they have the talent to win the NFC, but then they just keep disappointing me over and over and over.

fire Coughlin
The team is out of control.  The talent is there, they just have no focus and they are so inconsistent.  I really think the coach does not have the respect of the players.  Contrast the Jints with their Meadowlands counterparts in that regard, and you'll see what I mean.

Ok that's it.

Gigantes
what are you doing fighting with the mean green fans on JetsGeek when you know you can start Giants diaries over here?

Trying to bridge the divide
This site is like one of Saddam's palaces, next to the Geek, yet the Geek is where all the cool kids go to make out and smoke cigarettes and stuff, apparently.

hard to get a Mets word in edgewise
what with all the inside jokes and the off topic stuff. Amazin (pun intended) that they can get 1500 posts a day and Goldy's cogent post on Zito has just two comments.

I do lurk on the Geek for the warmth of familiar company and the brief outbursts of Mets-related chatter, but I'm not making out with anybody and I'm definitely not drinking any Merlot.

You should jump on in there, pj
As far as I can tell, they've never experienced your level of snark.

You can always come over here too. I don't think AA has to take a back seat to the Geek, it's just busier over there in the off-season.

Oh, I've dunked my toes in
once or twice and the water feels ok, but I prefer the small pond.

I think part of it is the threaded format over here.  Nothing worse than seeing a good comment go unappreciated after the 100th post on a particular page.

foot traffic is certainly a problem over here, but ES is trying to drum up business with his UTUBE fights.

Eric is a Giants fan (IIRC), so I am sure he will support the uncommon intersection of Shockey Street and Amazin Avenue.

I'll be in NY for the next two games, but WHEN the  Giants make the playoffs I'll start game chats in the diary under the heading Free'd Eli Man

I'll be looking forward to that!

Thanks man.
The city's basically shut down at this point, and probably won't get back on its feet until Friday at least.

Yeah - as long as the electricity holds out
we'll be ok. I need to get out there and start shovelling in a while.  We've got 22" on the ground where I am and it's supposed to keep snowing for at least another couple of hours.  

People here are pretty good-natured about this kind of situation - we get storms like this once every 3 or 4 years.

This thread is almost down to one character wide
Lift with your legs, not with your back. snow shoveling is a bitch.

I went through Ft Collins after the last big snowfall. March 2003? The place was wrecked.

That's good advice.
It seems to be pretty powdery so hopefully it won't be too bad.

I have to add something here...
...just to see how much further we can push this thread.

Happy holidays, my fellow Mets fans.

HH KC and Mr Met
I've been in the lab all afternoon, but I didn't want to miss the fun. I am a little delirious right now.

11 hour car ride to NYC tomorrow. Damn, I haven't been to the city since last Xmas.

THE NEW FACE OF THE METS...ENTHUSIASM!!  

I don't have too much to add gang. I think the picture speaks for itself. I'm not too much of a stats geek, I just go off of what I see from the players and the Win / Loss column. This pic was taken from Thursday's phenomenal game against the hated Phillies! I can't remember the last time David Wright got this excited about scoring a run or making a play. It really feels good to see the entire team enjoying a win. The team desperately needed this. I NEEDED THIS from David Wright. It just gives me goose bumps.
