Happy Thanksgiving

Things I am thankful for on this, my favorite holiday of the year:

Carlos Beltran
David Wright
Jose Reyes
Johan Santana
Moving to a brand-spanking-new stadium in 2009 (that hopefully won't be called Taxpayer Field)
Luis Castillo's balky knees
Moises Alou's pee hands
Eddie Kunz's ruff outings
Daniel Murphy's Irish hammer
Jerry Manuel's post-game interviews
Carlos Delgado's resurgence
Endy's Chavez's glove
Fernando Martinez's potential
The Mets' big fat wallets

And last but certainly not least, the most intelligent, well-informed, evidence-demanding, status quo-rejecting, self-policing, and otherwise freaking brilliant Mets community on the internet, without whom I certainly couldn't fathom doing this every day. I raise a giant turkey leg to you all!

If we could just get Marlon Anderson to put forth the effort that the little girl in the pic is putting towards that disgusting looking Pterodactly leg...

We just might do the damn thing next season.

Happy Thankgiving

I’m thankful the closer market is a buyers market this offseason.

I'm thankful for

- Johan Santana
- Being born in 1984 (at least I can say I was alive for a Mets championship)
- The Piazza years
- My Josias Manzanillo autograph
- The football Giants, for keeping me sane after the last 2 Mets seasons.

Wow. 1983.

I can say that too.

How did I not realize that until right now…..

Answer: I’m really stupid. Or just not very observant…….no, I think it’s the first one.
