I recall your namesake looking at his picture -- with antennae and three eyes -- and making faces at the crowd. Even more faces than usual.<BR/><BR/>Of course, the <I>worst</I> part of the Mercury Met debacle was losing . . . to Chris Benson! Ugh, enough of that.<BR/><BR/>As to Retirement Planning Night, if Robert Wagner isn't here to explain Reverse Mortgages, I ain't attendin'. I will attend, however:<BR/><BR/><B>Love To Swim Night</B> Watch everyone's favorite Met fan, the dude with the disgusting hole in his neck, recapture the lost joys of swimming! Met trainers will jam the broken shards of a shattered baseball bat into the hole, allowing our erstwhile <I>naiad</I> to splash about in the chlorinated waters of an artificial pool constructed between 2nd and 3rd base!<BR/><BR/>or . . .<BR/><BR/><B>Mercury Girl Night</B> In honor of the 9th Anniversary of the Mercury Mets debacle, the Mets will invite the sweet looking chick from the Mercury commercials to throw out the first pitch, sing the national anthem, run the bases wearing nothing but a David Wright jersey, doesn't matter. So long as she shows up.<BR/><BR/>In the words of the smiling couple from Select Dental, the Mets should've done it yeeeeeaaaaars ago.<BR/><BR/>(Apologies to those who live in different geographic regions and have NO idea what I'm talking about.)Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15398931203483061703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028421806345240705.post-2454850364326716912008-02-27T16:39:00.000-05:002008-02-27T16:39:00.000-05:00I say keep the tickets and give your Dad something...I say keep the tickets and give your Dad something he'd truly enjoy (and might eventually give back to you), like a fish tank in the shape of the USS Intrepid, or a Hubert Humphry beach towel.HChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06304951997726221523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028421806345240705.post-65881469275539190762008-02-27T16:25:00.000-05:002008-02-27T16:25:00.000-05:00George: Awesome.Chris C: Equally awesome, with a h...George: Awesome.<BR/><BR/>Chris C: Equally awesome, with a hint of racial stereotyping! Well done sir! <BR/><BR/>Mr. Met: Rickey would advise against confusing any digs here with legitimate baseball opinion/analysis. We make fun of Willie being a stickler because it's pretty funny.
