I still maintain
the Scotty thread is the funniest one. paperman’s post was better, but the comment section was not nearly as hilarious as in Scotty’s.
Really, the lesson here is that other people’s stupidity is our comedic gain.
The Mets lobby Omar for a plan, and his plan, he likes his plan. The problem is that he didn't write his plan down 'cause that makes it paperwork, and that’s false hustle... Know what I’m sayin’?
Scotty just didn't know when to quit
I’m guessing Paperman was mortified by the reaction to his thread and left and never came back. Scotty just wouldn’t shut up (as “Scotty” or as “Centerpede 1o1”). I’m assuming he eventually got banned and that’s why we weren’t subjected to his threads any longer.
Somehow, a chain of events unfolded that put Steve Phillips in a professional broadcast booth Sunday night so he could rip Carlos Beltran. Try to explain that in any other terms.

I actually give props to Scotty
At least he tried to defend what he wrote. He was stupid, yes, but he took his lumps like a man. Kind of.
Wait, scotty and Centerpede were the same guy?
I don’t remember that.

Man, I started out so promising
then faded faster than Molina, you know, running or something #Molinaisfat
I blame a combination of writing for MetsGeek and the US deeming auditors should issue opinons on financial statements, I mean can’t we just take companies word for it.
Anyways, kudos to everyone all around, Eric et al are great but if the community here was anything like other Mets related sites, I would be outtie.
the number one issue facing the Mets is finding that one guy who’s going to say "get on my shoulders and ride me to the championship."
chamption 4 lif
i think its about time i changed that signature back too.
HELLO HELLO MR WILPON... BUY THAT MANSION. WE DONT NEED A CONDO.
my goal for this year is to write some decent fanposts
i swear i’ll get around to it.. eventually. Scotty was fun, but I think Centerpede provided more entertainment (quantity wise at least). Also I personally enjoyed BigJohninFla’s quality commentary during “Whats it gonna take”. That one was a goldmine of crazy.

This one wins
2009 Mets Gangsta And Grission Awards – Brooklyn Dodgers Mets Fan
No disrespect to any of the others.
On a purely humorous level, this one:
Francoeur Really Stunk Last Night!
Was extremely funny. Especially schmidtxc’s comment
http://www.capitolavenueclub.com/
"June is gut check time. - Part 1 and 2" I expect everyone to still remember those.
A Simple Request Something to remember when the game threads resume.
Amazin’ Avenue Memes Great guide for new members to understand some common terms around here. Was really useful when I joined. Ahem, someone had promised to update it.
Jason Bay’s Mystery Team
Bad News Mets
is still my favorite.
I’m now looking forward to “Best MS Paint fanshots of 2009”
You don't cheer for the Mets. You drink for the Mets.

Man, I wish I’ve been here longer. Good to read up on my history, though.

Oh man that thread is full of good times.
He’s a statistician at home assisting bed-ridden wife. Also, he’s looking for RISP not OPS.
"He's definitely mixing it into his repertoire. That's French for 'repertoire' " - Keith Hernandez

That was maybe the best part
(The thing about RISP and OPS, not the thing about the bedridden wife.)
i think the best part is he claims to be a statistician
i wish i knew what company he worked for so i knew which one to never invest in.

that explains so much
on so many levels

I read c1o1
hilarious. And the one where the American Mr Hockey trolls.
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
American Mr Hockey trolling was pretty amusing
especially for the permutations of his handle, such as Canadian Mr. Jai alai, Uzbeki Miss Daisy, Biafrian Mrs Pac-Man etc
HELLO HELLO MR WILPON... BUY THAT MANSION. WE DONT NEED A CONDO.
The saddest thing about scotty
is that his bottom line consists of:
1. no playoffs this year
2. less than 85 wins
3. breaking up the core in 2010
Both one and two came very much true, in fact he looked optimistic. Wright had a terrible year by his standards as well. Luckily three isn’t going to happen, it seems. Still, it’s somewhat a case of his results being relatively accurate while his methods sucked balls.
David Eckstein: so gritty they would eat him in the south for breakfast with some butter and sprinkle cheese.
Damnit
The troll fanposts should be chronological order!! I’m too lazy to figure out the proper order and read them accordingly.
This is stuff is still hilarious, after all this time.
If there's ever a riot at Citi Field and Oliver Perez was the starter, I started the riot.
What about The Wolfman/Navyman?
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
I've read it like two or three times
It’s still so funny.
The Mets lobby Omar for a plan, and his plan, he likes his plan. The problem is that he didn't write his plan down 'cause that makes it paperwork, and that’s false hustle... Know what I’m sayin’?
Because everyone's talking about it, I just read Scotty.
Oh. My. Gosh. The funniest part is that he named it Scotty. All he did was give the chance for everyone prove that David Wright is amazing. Silly Scotty.

the mets ARE a bunch of good guys. and im glad someone else recognizes their goodness. what a good post for good mets fans, such as we.
i also spent last weekend at a strip club GOOD GUYS, from which i also have some good memories.
HELLO HELLO MR WILPON... BUY THAT MANSION. WE DONT NEED A CONDO.
I too
just spent 20 minutes re-reading Scotty and the comments. Incredible work. I feel like I have an insight into the earliest days of the idea that the earth might not be flat.
