In Medias Res: Volume III

The Subway Series game is currently in the middle of a rain delay (although, given the fact that the score is 4-0 Mets, I’m more than happy for them to call the game and give us the win) so I figured, with my unexpected free time, that this is the perfect opportunity to jot down … Continue reading In Medias Res: Volume III

New York City Is Abuzz With Mets Fever

I'm sitting here, kinda constipated, as the Mets lead the Yankees 10-2 in the 7th inning, well on their way to a sweep of their vaunted crosstown rivals, just in case my sick, twisted mind needed any further proof that my mood has no effect on the fortune of the Mets.

“It was so easy to be wise in the explanation of  an experience one has not personally witnessed.” I’m finally out in the country, away from the incessant hustle and bustle of Flatbush Avenue. No honking, no revving, no boosted-bass-blasting, no alarms, no sirens – peace, silence, the bliss of obscurity…  Sitting on the back … Continue reading In Medias Res: Volume II

One Thing I’ve Noticed From Each Team, In Order of How I Favor Them

Mets:It hasn't been all good for the Mets, but it certainly hasn't been all bad, either. They're a game over .500, which is fine in its own right, but it's the means by which they have arrived at that point that has been so interesting: they have looked like a coherent baseball team, which could … Continue reading One Thing I’ve Noticed From Each Team, In Order of How I Favor Them
