Mets thoughts about a Subway Series Saturday and Kenny Rogers

I’m tempted to sell my tickets for today’s game, but Junior really wants to go…It’s the old “sell one game and pay for half they year” vs. “make your son happy” and I think I will pick son this time.  It’s a nice summer day and the place should be electric…nice father and son time.  I’m heading out there early and hoping that AT&T can handle 40,020 people making calls.

If YOU need tickets you may find a bargain here on Mets Police Tickets.  (In general it’s worth it to follow Mets Police Tickets on Facebook, and the regular Mets Police On Facebook feed.)

Stars and Stripes jersey for me today…I have to go find some crappy casino caps to trade in for the Cap Trade.

The .500 Mets are 10.5 out in the east.  Double digits is usually a warning sign that it ain’t happening.  I know many of you are fantasizing about the Wild Card.  The Mets are in 6th place, 6.5 back (and those teams all play each other etc.)

Which leads us to a song, which I hope Sandy Alderson has heard.

You’ve got to know when to hold ’em
Know when to fold ’em
Know when to walk away
Know when to run
You never count your money
When you’re sittin’ at the table
There’ll be time enough for countin’
When the dealin’s done

Every gambler knows
That the secret to survivin’
Is knowin’ what to throw away
And knowin’ what to keep
‘Cause every hand’s a winner
And every hand’s a loser
And the best that you can hope for
Is to die in your sleep

I’d like to thank the Mets for what has been a great summer so far.  I’ve really enjoyed this season.  However June has become July and it’s time to stop lying to yourself.    Optimism is not a sin, but your overconfidence is your weakness.  Search your feelings, you know it to be true. *

* – none of that is meant to be a shot at Ceetar.  I’d actually love to convince Ceetar to write for MP…but I needed to work in Star Wars quotes and that was my easiest route.

Oh, and STOP USING K-ROD TO FINISH GAMES THAT AREN’T SAVES.  Are you guys INSANE????
