Because little makes me happier than watching A.J. Pierzynski getting clocked in the grill.

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.

We've got ourselves a ball club, the Mets of New York town!

Ok that's it.

Now I have to pop my eyeballs out with a spoon and stomp them into goo.

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

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.
