I guess I should be gracious and congratulated the Highlanders on not only winning the World Series but finally putting an end to this miserable baseball season, and thankful they ended before the season’s first snowfall.
For all of my fellow Mets fans who wanted Pedro...

Quick hits on the World Series so far:
I don’t know what the pundits wanted Joe Giraridi to do other than pitch AJ Burnett on three days rest. Do these experts know the other choice to pitch is Chad Gaudin? The same Chad Gaudin who was cut by the Padres this season and a guy who...

This post is not baseball related at all but when I read this morning that the Celtics and Rajon Rondo, my favorite Celtic have reached an agreement on a 5yr/$55 mil contract extension, it more than made up for an awful sports weekend As Tommy Heinsohn says

Most people when you mention Game 6 of the 1986 World Series, think of the Mookie Wilson slow roller that “Gets by Buckner” as the greatest play of that game. What gets lost in the shuffle in the whole at bat by Wilson to set up that play. Bob Stanley had just come in for...

So Highlander fans, you think it’s easy playing the Phuck Phace’s ? Try doing it eighteen times a year like the Mets have to, it’s no joke.

Okay we just knew this was how our baseball years was going to end. Maybe this is a test from the Baseball Gods to see just how devoted we are to our NY Mets. It’s kind of like a baseball fan version of SURVIVOR.
