Chuck Berry and Keith Richards on You Tube
Maybe the collars of the Highlander Nine are loose and comfy but that’s not the case for some of their fans. Most of the Highlander fans that I grew up with or the ones I know who are my age or a little younger, are still very feisty. When...

Could this be? Could this be the one saving grace for Mets fans this baseball season to forget? When people ask me you I’m rooting for this post season I now have a definitive answer, I’m rooting for Joe Girardi and baseball defying moves. Down the stretch of the season the formula...

Seems the only disappointment in Philadelphia last night was the fact the city greased the light poles and stepped up the police presence on the streets that hurt Phuck Phace fans from celebrating “Burn Our City Down Night” after the Cheesesteakers Series win over the Hollywood...

Steriods ? Who cares. Pete Rose? ****, build him a shrine in Cooperstown already and bring Shoeless Joe Jackson with him too. The Black Sox ? Please what a bunch of amateurs. None of these so called scandals and jackals of baseball can touch the umpiring we’ve seen this post season...

The Eddie Kranepool Society

Geez, what a morning. As the well rounded person that I am, I do socialize with Highlander fans and some are even close friends, so this morning my phone has been ringing a lot and my usual quiet ferry ride to Manhattan was disturbed by irate Highlander fans who hate their managers’...

The Eddie Kranepool Society
| Comments
It’s been ten years since we as Mets fans have had to go through what looks to be the inevitable, two teams we despise look to be headed to the World Series. Not since 1999 when the Highlanders met the Braves, after they beat the Mets 4 games to 2 in the NLCS
(do we have to...
IF THIS POST SEASON HAS PROVED ANYTHING, IT’S WE’RE NOT THAT FAR BEHIND
October 18, 2009 by
The Eddie Kranepool Society

I have to confess, I haven’t thought about the Mets offseason plans too much lately. What with the Giants and Rangers playing lights out and the Celtics getting ready to start the season with so much fire power a date with the Hollywood Fakers in the Finals looks inevitable. After...

While the Highlanders, Halos, Phuck Phaces and Hollywood Hobo’s get ready for the LCS , we Mets fans still have some news of our own to contemplate:
Looks like Ike Davis picked a great time to put on a hitting display in the AFL. With the Brain (less) trust looking on, Ike delivered...

Sad news as I just read where Captain Lou Albano has passed away at the age of 76. Capt Lou was a major character in the old WWWF and WWF. I met Albano a couple of time outside MSG and what a gentleman. I joked with him that as a kid he made me cry when he took a trophy that Chief...
JUST CALL ME BITTER OLD METS FAN

Have you watched any of the baseball post season? I have, especially the NL games and after last night I’ve come to the conclusion that the best thing the Mets could do this off season is not sign any big names free agents or make a block buster trade. I don’t know who...

QUIET SUNDAY

I think I caused enough damage around here with yesterday’s posting so I’m going to chill watching the G-Men then head to MSG to watch the Rangers-Ducks while pondering what a zoo this city will be if the Highlanders and Brooklyn Dodgers of Los Angeles meet in the World...
QUICK AND DIRTY FOR A SATURDAY
October 10, 2009 by
The Eddie Kranepool Society
| Comments
It’s hit and miss today so fasten your seat belts:
Forget instant replay, what baseball needs is on the spot drug and alcohol testing for umpires. Phil Cuzi, here is a sword now fall on it. Forget PEDs, and teams with small revenue, what will kill baseball is the employment of incompetents...

So there I was, in the middle of doing my PRO BASEBALL CENTRAL show last night and I’m in full Anti-Skill Sets rant and watching the end of the Dodgers-Cardinal Game 2 when Matt Holliday decides to make an audition tape for the left field job of the NY Mets. I was in the middle...

Like every baseball fan, I was glued to last nights epic elimination game between the Twins and Tigers and of course I’m was rooting for the Twins. The Twins have become a place where old Mets go to flourish. Carlos Gomez scored the winning run to make former Mets minor leaguer...

The Eddie Kranepool Society
| Comments
I did not get to hear Omar, Jeffey and Dave The Lawyer on with the Sports Bloviator last night and I can’t listen to the replay at work because of the filters on our computers, so I am relying on Mathew Cerrone’s recap which is court stenographer accurate.
The first thought...

The off season is not even 24 hours old and I want to rip someone throat out in the Mets front office. The **** heads in charge have made their big announcement on the changes in the coaching staff. Sandy Alomar Sr and Luis Alicea get the ax and Hojo, Razor Shines and Old...
