LOL at "Whatever they did"

Yeah, I bet you can't quite remember. Memory's so hazy.

I seem to recall three letters of some sort. I'm getting a W... uh... an F... and a C. WFC ring any bells? I don't know.

Another day, another Latino signed

So I'm reading John Grisham's new book, The Associate, and he takes a nice jab at the Mets in, of all places, a legal thriller. From pgs. 165-66:

He walked to his apartment, changed into jeans, stuffed a phone in each pocket, and headed for the ballpark. The Mets were at home against the Pirates, who were already guaranteed another losing season. With seventeen games to go, the Mets were in first place, two games ahead of the Phillies, and primed for another choke in the stretch.

Grisham's books haven't been as good the last several years, but this one is pretty good so far, and that paragraph earns him some love.

I hated The Firm, but I love his Met-busting policy. I'm so conflicted.

The Firm was awesome

I'm currently reading The Appeal. Some of his ridiculous partisan statements in the novel are pissing me off. I bought The Associate at the same time, so I'll read that next.

I'll put a few of the really dumb things he said in the book I'm reading in the book thread when I finish it. It's almost like Grisham wrote The Innocent Man and then decided to become a poster on Daily Kos. I wish I knew that before I spent $30 on his last two books.

I've read all of his legal novels and The Firm is easily my favorite of them. The Associate is billed as similar to The Firm, but I'm not entirely getting that same vibe, yet. Halfway through it, I see how it's trying to for what The Firm had, but as jerseyhoya mentioned with The Appeal, he's getting a little preachy in his work and it is to its detriment. Still, while I don't always agree with his politics, and can't stand how ridiculous some of his characters names are sometimes, I love his ability to craft a story.

So... the book's non-fiction?

fucking scum of the scum. i'd feel safer going to see a game in camden.

as if any self-respecting (is that possible?) mets fan has good intentions going to a game there

Beltran was asked about Cole Hamels’s comment about the Mets being ‘choke artists,’ to which he said, “All I know is that he’ll be watched every time we face him. Hopefully we kill him… I think their team is also better, but I also feel like the team is better.”

the question is which team is betterer

Ah, good stuff.

Reminds me of the guy from ExtremeSkins who said that going to an Eagles game was horrifying because Fly Eagles Fly with everybody singing was reminiscent of the Nazis.

typical illiterate mets fans

NBCSports.com contributor Tony DeMarco.

The rotation was the other target of Minaya's efforts, and while no elite free-agent was signed, keeping Oliver Perez and adding Freddy Garcia, Tim Redding and Livan Hernadez sets up things pretty nicely behind Johan Santana.

BHAHAHAHAHAHAH


btw..he picks the Mets to finish 1st.

no Maine or Pelfrey huh. cool

NYTimes reports on the last piece of Shea t

to be knocked down:

Besides several months of work by a wrecking crew, what killed the stadium was the need for a sprawling parking lot for the Mets’ gleaming new home, Citi Field. Shea is survived by a team that would prefer to forget its most recent memories of the place, two seasons that ended in mind-boggling failure.

Boggle on, metropolitans

Bitch
