What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
OOOh I forgot about this one. One of my favorite baseball cards ever! Check out this card site for more.

Nice win by the Jets today….got all the luck they needed, and then went out and beat the Colts. They control their own fate in Week 17 and that’s all you can ask.
Now personally, I hate the Jets (since they left Shea for a far-away land called New Jersey) and I will relish their crushing Same Old Jets loss next week, but none of this is is why I am writing.
I am writing to warn you to get out of the way of the oncoming bandwagon of Jets fans. You are about to see more Jets attire than you’ve seen in years, and every borderline fan will come out of the woodwork.
Well done Jets, but I know you’ll blow it next week. Get your green attire out frontrunners.

I figure lots of folks today are going to discover this song Bruce write about Giants Stadium….here’s Bruce Springsteen’s Wrecking Ball.
I was raised out of steel here in the swamps of Jersey, some misty years ago
Through the mud and the beer, and the blood and the cheers, I’ve seen champions come and go
So if you got the guts mister, yeah if you’ve got the balls
If you think it’s your time, then step to the line, and bring on your wrecking ball
Bring on your wrecking ball
Bring on your wrecking ball
Come on and take your best shot, let me see what you’ve got
Bring on your wrecking ball
Now my home was here in the Meadowlands, where mosquitoes grow big as airplanes
Here where the blood is spilled, the arena’s filled, and Giants play the game
So raise up your glasses and let me hear your voices call
Come on!
Because tonight all the dead are here, so bring on your wrecking ball
Bring on your wrecking ball
Bring on your wrecking ball
Take your best shot, let me see what you’ve got
Bring on your wrecking ball
One, two, one two three four!
[trumpet solo]
Yeah we know that come tomorrow, none of this will be here
So hold tight on your anger
Hold tight on your anger
Hold tight to your anger, and don’t fall to your fear
Now when all this steel and these stories, they drift away to rust
And all our youth and beauty, it’s been given to the dust
And your game has been decided, and you’re burning the clock down
And all our little victories and glories, have turned into parking lots
When your best hopes and desires, are scattered through the wind
And hard times come, hard times go
Hard times come, hard times go
And hard times come, hard times go
Hard times come, hard times go
Hard times come, hard times go
Yeah just to come again
Bring on your wrecking ball
Bring on your wrecking ball
Come on and take your best shot, let me see what you’ve got
Bring on your wrecking ball

Theresa only answered four of the five questions…perhaps she’s an optimist?
When did you become a fan?
1971
Favorite memory?
Not ’86, actually. It was ’85, on the last day of the season, when the players threw their caps into the stands. 85 was incredible fun– and interesting in retrospect because they did not win the division, but it was still a love fest. Not like now.
No least favorite memory
If you could change one off-field thing?
Minaya. Or get him a brain transplant.
If you suddenly owned the team, what’s the first thing you’d change?
Minaya.

As the Giants prepare for their final game at Giants Stadium, let’s take a second to recall just how evil PSL’s are.
Gary Myers in the News talks about how some fans have had the seats for years and years and have to give them up. I don’t know about you but handing a team say 20 grand for the “right” to give them money every year is not something I would ever consider. They wiped out their entire waiting list, but they’ll be sold out, and 80,000 fools will have given the Giants money for nothing, for a completely unnecessary stadium with no dome.
It’s interesting how the last game at a football stadium is not a big deal as compared to the baseball stadiums. There’s barely any buzz at all.
