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!
