Nah. The Mets have tortured me for the past 29 years: blowing the NLCS in ‘88, coming soclose to a miracle comeback before losing on Kenny Rogers waking in a run in ‘99, losing to Satan’s Minions in 2000, Beltran in 2006, choking in 2007 and 2008, even losing a winnable series last year. But it all pales compared to…

Met fan, and guy who lost a few people on 9/11 here. Was overjoyed when Gonzalez hit that bloop. Some hatreds are transcendent.

Is that Bill Bixby narrating?

Ultimate Spider-Man got me back into comics after 4 years away. The characterizations were wonderful... Pete back in High School! Gwen and MJ! Vibrant and cool Aunt May! Then they went and ruined it. Miles Morales can go suck an egg.

Well, unbridled capitalism is not so great. But history is littered with the remains of collectivist societies. And the souls of the millions that always seem to die when they are attempted.

Capitalism, the greatest driver of prosperity in the history of mankind? Yep.

The Falcons jersey worth having would be Eugene Robinson, for the lulz. Or Mexico.

Kind of ironic that an article about urban dystopias has comments encouraging people to vote for socialists and progressives.

Spay The Poor.

“I don’t think Clinton is corrupt”

I was refereeing college intramural flag football and one idiot had to be held back from attacking me because I didn’t call holding on the guy blocking him. I could have called holding (and pass interference, and offensive pass interference, and a host of other infractions) every single play and done nothing else for…

“social justice and shit”

I can believe this. I regularly drive around in a 60s land yacht whose only safety feature is a lap belt (that I had to buy and install - it didn’t even have seat belts!). I drive a lot more carefully in it than any of my regular cars.

I’ve never had any kind of high-end car, and I still avoid the valet like the plague. At the risk of sounding snobbish, if that’s that guy’s job, he probably isn’t very bright and I don’t need him fucking up my shit and stealing everything that isn’t glued down.

I am not worried. We have Conforto and Lagares and Grandy. And let’s not forget the Mets’ rich 50-year tradition of developing great homegrown OF talent - players like Darryl Strawberry, and Cleon Jones, and... uhh..

The Cleveland Naps? What?!

He never got a chance to start, I don’t blame him for hating us.

I mourned for weeks. When I finally eased out of it I decided I would never again let sports affect me so. It made 2007 and 2008 a little easier to deal with.

Where Beltran fucked up was ignoring the first pitch, a meatball right down the pipe. Wainwright had just walked LoD to load the bases and he HAD to start off Carlos with a strike. If he was up there hacking he hits a walkoff grand slam and is on the Mets’ Mount Rushmore and probably goes to the Hall of Fame. And…

My wife got a job in a public college, primarily for something to do now that our daughter is older. It’s a union gig and she can’t opt out. Besides her dues being spent on political views she does not support (forced speech!), there is zero accountability. There are nice old ladies in her office who are staggeringly…
