The Mets have never done too much - you should replace them with the Dodgers. And the Dodgers suck.

No offense to the Gay Cowboy Community intended or implied of course.

If I was mature I wouldn't be here trading insults with idiots like you EDR.

At least they had help from the Bosox 21 years ago.



I'm pretty sure Buckner was using a Campagnolo 1B mitt and hi-top spikes.

That's why.

You have your topic. Discuss.
The Twins just creamed the mets on their home turf, ergo, Campy rules.

This is just a case of temporary Mets mid-season flu. It shall pass.

I like the Red Sox. Hate the yankees, even though I am originally from NYC.

Wasn't Buckner a Dodger at some point?

I liked Mookie. If I was a professional baseball player, I'd want a name like Mookie.

When the Mets lose, you have to throw the whole team out and start over, but the Yankees can be rebuilt?

The Yankees use carboned (corked) bats?

The Mets are cheaper?




After further thought, I have to return to this as my final answer:

I love baseball and when your team is losing I would concur... baseball DOES suck.

If I took anything on the Internet personally I wouldn't be here, would I EDR? I'm sure you feel the same way.

Quote from Terrance Mann "Field of Dreams"

"The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game, is a part of our past, Ray. It reminds us of all that once was good, and it could be again. Ohhhhhhhh, people will come, Ray. People will most definitely come."

Both did it for tax dollars and max profit but in diff. ways. The first (Huizenga) dumped salaries from the team to lower his tax payment for that year and to sell the team with very low salary cost to the buyer. Loria buys teams every 4 or 5 years (and sells the one he owns at that time) because baseball has a rule that for the first 4 or 5 years (can't remember which) you don't have to pay any league taxes (and I think MLB covers some of the taxes on the stadium too -- it's to entice new buyers), so when that deadline's about to end, he sells the team. He's on his third team.
