People who think computers play baseball will say the Angels are down 2 games to 1. But computers don't play baseball. And when you have a teammate like Derek Jeter, and you see the way he goes about his business and how calm he is after a game like that, it's like you've won. So the computers may say the Angels are down just one game, but if you're in the Yankee clubhouse you feel like you just won two games. That's the kind of player Derek Jete -- I'm sorry, I came down here and Joe Morgan was futzing around with my computer. (Who even knew he could type?) Joe, you can see yourself out. We're not here to talk about whatever the heck just happened involving an evil team in a league that doesn't play real baseball. No, we're here for the 5th annual admission of a new class of Mets into The Holy Books. Brief review for newcomers and the similarly obsessive: I have a pair of binders, dubbed The Holy Books (THB) by Greg, that contain a basebal...

Ex-Met Hernandez No Longer Livanin’ The High Life

Bosom Buddies: A Correspondence With Melissa Lima

You see, Ms. Lima emailed this site last Wednesday night in an effort to help provide you, boob-ogling reader of the fortnight, with more photos of herself: Since...

Mets Aren’t The Only Team That Peaked In 2006

Three years ago today, Carlos Beltran got a good look at an Adam Wainwright curveball and the Cardinals went on to the 2006 World Series.  (I have spared my fellow Mets fans from having to see that picture by showing you a photo of Beltran hitting a home run against the Cardinals instead.)  After that [...]

After a summer of dread and negativity I’m enjoying my fandom prosperity.  But an item this week caught...

What Have You Learned? Brian Schneider

What Have You Learned is our very special off-season series that will outline what you've learned, what I've learned, and hopefully what the 2009 Mets have learned about themselves, others, and 2010.
