Prince and Fry from Faith & Fear once again prove they are way better at this than I am with their list of the 10 best things about being a Mets fan. I was tempted to excerpt from the uniforms part, or the Mr. Met part, or the Murph part (#imwith28) but let’s pick this…

One day Bernie Madoff will be no more threatening a bogeyman than M. Donald Grant. We just wish that day would hurry up and arrive.
