So THE METS sucked their way to the bottom and missed the playoffs. They were 7 games up on Philadelphia, with a week to blow and got their asses kicked by crappy teams in the division. I'm a die hard fan, and sure it'd be great to see them get into the playoffs...
...and get killed in the first round probably by Philadelphia. That'd suck even more. They've had The Mets number all year, so I'm spared that post season humiliation; and we have all winter to shovel lots of $$ to buy quality pitching like we should've done THIS YEAR.
But life moves on, and I have my back up teams THE PHILLIES and THE ANGELS.
Long story short I dig The Phillies. Weird thing is the first baseball mitt I had was a Mike Schmidt "autographed" one. I also remember Tug McGraw jumping up and down when they won back in 1980 in 6 games over the KC Royals, with George Brett.
That was a cool team and their centerfielder was a dude named Gary Maddox. I always thought that was a badass name. Plus, he was a super black athlete like that Verb song.
1993- I graduate college in Philly. All season long I can't believe they're winning. All season long I can believe that The Mets are crappy.
Philly gets to the World Series against The Toronto Blue Jays behind Curt Shilling's pitching.
It's the beer drinkin' outta shape softball lookin' mountain men from Philly against....The clean cut made to win, previous World Series winners from Toronto.
Wow. I remember the characters the Phillies had, Pick your nose on live TV and chew tobacco ex-Met Lenny Dykstra, Fat ass "I'm not an athlete ma'am I'm a ballplayer" John Kruk, Jim "tourettes" Eisenrich, Pete "South Philly" Incavavillia, "Dutch" Darren Dalton and Mitch "Wild Thing oh shit he blew the game" Williams.
Toronto had Future Hall of Famer: Paul Molitor. FHF - Dave Winfield. FHF- Joe Clark. Perfect hitter - John Olerud....blah, blah, blah.
So they lose in SPECTACULAR fashion to Toronto in Six (Joe Clark's walkoff homerun to win / end the series of Mitch Williams slider) and then that's it for 12 years.
Until Ryan Howard MVP year of 2006 of 58 HR's and this year 45 HR's. Another MVP type season. Plus he's not juiced and seems like a humble likable guy.
So here's hoping for an Angels vs. Phillies World Series (that way I can get tickets or watch with Phillies fans at South Street Cheese Steaks down the street.
First pitch's on Weds on TBS against The Dark Horse Colorado Rockies.
Someone tell The Mets front office to get some fucking pitching next year.

Wow,that video was great. I remember the games, but a little differently.At the time I was in the the fields of NJ shooting the Mich/Ramos senior film. Good times.
Actually, I should say Mich & Ramos were shooting and I was crew.
:)
GO PHILLIES! LOL
yeah dave's video that devo posted here is awesome! he has had THOUSANDS of hits on it already. now if only he had a dollar for each hit...wow, that would solve our immediate problems...
Sorry to hear about your Mets, man...I'd say yo, go Philly and all that to support the home team, but that'd be lame, 'cause I don't know sh*t about baseball. But I can guess that Philly will probably choke at the last minute.
Jabba no baddah!
