WHY Are The '08 Rays Being Compared To The '69 Mets? WHY?

For WHATEVER Reason, I feel that this is a strange comparison:

In 1967, The NY Mets were in 10th Place. In 1968, they were 73-89 and in 9th Place in the National League;

In July, 1969, they were just behind the Cubs. On August 15th, 1969, the Mets were in 3rd Place in the National League East;

On September 10th, 1969, the Mets Passed The Cubs, by defeating the Montreal Expos in the 1st Game of a Doubleheader(Twi-Night at Shea Stadium), and never trailed again, as the Chicago Cubs were s--ting the proverbial bed. On September 24th, a Wednesday Night, with Lindsey Nelson on WOR 9, and Bob Murphy on WJRZ 970AM(The FAN Didn't Exist), The Mets won the 1st Eastern Division Championship of the National League. The Game started at 7:05PM ET and ended at 9:07PM ET, when St Louis Cardinals 3rd Baseman and Perpetual Green Tea Drinker, St Joseph Of Torre, cracked into a double play. Gary Gentry was the Winning Pitcher, and even cracked a smile for the TV Cameras. There was Joy in The Borough of Queens and Stu Sternberg of Canarsie, Brooklyn, was only 10 Years Old;

I saw 7 Mets Games that year. They only won 2 of the games I saw. The Mets drew about 2.5 Million Fans through the Shea Turnstiles;

They made easy work of The Atlanta Braves, The NL West Champions, then took the Heavily-Favored Baltimore Orioles, 4 Games to One, losing their 1st WS Game, 4-1 in Memorial Stadium in Baltimore. The Orioles drew over 1.2 Million Fans in a place, which is now an empty lot;

So, O Brilliant M L B Comparison Freaks, WTF is this equivication between Tampa Bay and The Mets?

Tampa Bay drew 1.3 Million Fans(strange For a 1st Place team for most of the '08 Season, or ANY Season), NOT 2.5 Million Fans. And according to MLB's way of counting attendance, the American League Standard of counting Tickets Sold, instead of Physical Passing Through Turnstiles(The NL Method), was utilized here. The 2.5 Million Fans in 1969, was counted by actual attendance(Paid that is). 4 to 6 Sellouts tell me that Tampa Bay was not an enthusiastic Baseball Town. If we go according to NL Standards, I would say that Tampa Bay only drew about 800K, if at all;

Mets Fans in 1969 brough their Lungs and Signs to ball games. ONLY in Postseason, did Tampa Bay bring their Cowbells to the Games and that was ONLY in Postseason. Cowbell Man at Shea Stadium, was the ONLY Guy I knew, who brought a cowbell to Mets Games. I guess that this is the place where Stu Sternberg got his idea to ply Tampa Bay Fans with Cowbells, as well as assorted noisemakers, possibly bought at a garage sale of clearance items from Jeffy's Bar Mitzvah;

Had The Boston Red Sox been at peak health, without Manny Being an A--h-le, The Famous Not So Original Rays, who play in a glorified circus tent, might have been out of this situation, quickly. Instead, on FOX and tbs(Very Funny), we saw all of the Bandwagoning Frauds, passing as fans in The Giant Cloth Tent. They showed up trying to pass as fans, and did a lousy job. They looked out of place, not unlike Marlins Fans, who need to be told when to stand, sit, cheer and fart in sequence. It was disgusting. They had a winner and didn't know it for most of the '08 Season;

You wouldn't catch this in Boston at Fenway Park, where Fans are Fans, not a bunch of Socialites, who show up once every few years, when the mood suits them;

Halloween Conversations At AOH Division 2-Babylon, LI, NY

Conversations included, NOT THESE 2 Gentlemen, but more serious things such as the Inclusions of Latin in The Mass, something which The Rebels of Vatican II, didn't wish to address. The place, where these 2 Gentlemen, conducted their torturous dialogues, is being dismantled:


Peggy, one of the Students of The Gerry Tobin Irish Language School, sings at Funeral Masses. She asked me if I had witnessed a Latin Mass, so I answered in the affirmative. I mentioned that where I go to Mass on Occasion, that certain prayers such as the "Sanctus" are sung in Latin, as well as the "Agnus Dei", The "Kyrie"(Greek) and the Communion Antiphon;


To her this is a Good thing, as Latin was NEVER MEANT, by Vatican II, to go the way of Shea Stadium. In short, Latin was to be preserved in The Mass, in various Prayers such as the "Pater Noster", The "Credo", amongst other things;


Latin is The Universal Language of The Church-it MUST be Preserved;

NOW That Baseball Is Wrapped Up, I Shall Be Writing Other Subjects For A Few Days Like HALLOWEEN


Imagine no -uck and Mc Cavah, to kick around anymore. Can you imagine Halloween Masks of both Doofus Joe and Tim Mc Fullofs--t? How well are they selling?

Probably not too well, as who TF watched "The World Series On FOX"? Who would buy a "Jeffy" Mask?

The Not So American Holiday of Halloween is here. Let's just say it originated in Ireland, which, according to my spies, is turning into a veritable "East New York", as Ireland isn't Ireland, anymore. Can Anyone say "75 Precint", as it would be said in my Native Brooklyn?

1st of all, Halloween was at One Time, Irish New Years Eve, as November 1st on the Irish Calendar, was New Years Day, in Pre-Christian Ireland. When Ireland was Christianised, It became "All Hallows Eve";

In The Pagan Form, food was left out, with the hope that evil spirits would eat the food and leave those folks at home, alone. It was a "Fright Night", later evolving into parties and bonfires. Halloween survived in Ireland and made it to these shores;

In the modern form, it got a bit nasty. Stores are not selling eggs and shaving cream to minors, here in NYC. The Americanised version of Halloween has made it in Europe and a lot of people are pissed off over there, probably from the sale of -uck and Mc Cavah Masks, not to mention all the hair dye that goes with it;

Oh, Well! Trick Or Treat! Please don't get made up to look like THESE TWO!

Last Night At Approximately 02 Hours GMT, All This Series BS Ended

It ended in the Chill Of October, on The Pitch(Field), in The City Founded By Quakers, in the South Portion, from whence a team from an enlarged circus tent, was sent home crying:

The Mets had better Pitching than T B Rays, but because Jeffy was too busy running Willie out on a rail, the Mets never got to Postseason, with Jeffy looking to Move into $iti Field, and chasing his corps of family fans out in favour of assorted nouveau riche, sherry sippers, who need to be told when to fart;

The NYC Area Ultimate Yankee Haters List











It is about time I pay High Tribute to those who spend their days, despising the NY Yankees, they who root for the Boston Red Sox, a virtual 3rd NYC Baseball Team in the Tradition of The Brooklyn Dodgers, The NY Mets, descendants of both the Brooklyn Dodgers and NY Giants, and(Steve of Staten Island and formerly from Bay Ridge, Brooklyn), The Philadelphia Phillies, as NJ is part of the NY Metro Area, You definitely deserve a mention, for your faithful call for the Utter Destruction of The NY Yankees. The Winners are, as follows:

John Brian Quinn-Native to The Borough of Brooklyn in the County of Kings, in the State of New York. He remembers going on a Shea Stadium Trip w/the Knights Of Columbus(Which Council, this Past Grand Knight-Writer has no idea) in 1968 and remembers Borden's Coupons for Mets Games. M.Donald Grant(Remember Him?), pissed off J B Q with intensity(Tom Seaver Trade #1), as the Mets, since the death of Joan Whitney Payson, went on a downgrading spree(Going CHEAP). He fully entered "The Nation" in 1978;

Nick Stevens of North Billerica, MA, now residing in the Park Slope Section of Brooklyn, not far from where the Original Dodger Stadium was to be built. You wonder just WHO is Nick Stevens is. Well, he;s quoted on this blog as Mr "GFY". You in New England, know him as Paul "Fitzy" Fitzgerald, The Consumate Boston Sports Fan, the kind of guy who appreciates beer, sports and life. "GFY" is translated as "Go F--- Yourself", especially when One Eric Gagne' had a tendancy to blow close games for the Sawx in '07. I have often quoted Nick's "Fitzy" Character on these blogs, especially whenever I had a beef with The Red Sox Front Office, or with Jeffy Wilpon, whatever. He's a Lifetime Member of "The Nation";

Steve Keane from Staten Island, formerly from Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, who wears his Love of The Mets, on his sleeve. He declared that Doofus Joe Buck and Tim Mc Fullof s--t, are both idiots, as well as his contempt for Jeffy Wilpon, in more ways than one;

Taryn Cooper, a Mets Blogger from NJ, who lets the Mets have it, from time to time and has contempt for that little s--t Jeffy;

Peter Naboichik from the Waterbury, CT area for his hopeful Red Sox Blogs, which are entertaining;

Jere Smith, who grew up in Danbury, CT, who Co-Wrote the Novel, "Dirty Water" a Red Sox Murder Mystery, with his mom, Mary-Anne Tirone-Smith, and who "Cheered" the Demolition of the Gargantuan Shea Stadium Scoreboard, which is why he wears specs today, as we speak;

Ed Seewald Jr(Past Grand Knight, Humorist, and Past 4th Degree Faithful Navigator), whose Yankee Hatred knows no bounds. He took a picture of a Long Island Railroad Toilet Bowl, which depicts my representation of Yankee Stadium(Toilet)II;

Mr Jerry Seinfeld of Massapequa, LI, who had George Steinbrenner Ridiculed, on "Seinfeld" for a few Years on NBC. He has a Citi Field Season Box;

Mike Leggett, owner of this blog, from his beginnings as a Shea and now Fenway Denizen, originally from East NY Brooklyn, who remembers $1/30 Upper Level Seats, despising M. Donald Grant, and Jeffy Wilpon, as well as chronicaling Red Sox Goins-Ons at Fenway Park(Michael is a 4th Degree Sir Knight and Past Grand Knight, now living in Queens for almost 27 Years. Eric Gagne' is a Waste of his time;

The Honorable Governor of The State Of New York(Red Sox Nation That Is), originally from Alston-Brighton, Boston, MA, Mr Christopher Wertz, One of The partners in the SUCCESSFUL Venture, Professor Thom's Bar in The East Village of Manhattan, who despises "Riviera Chili" and gave Mike Leggett the name of "Big Giant Pez";

And last and NOT Least, Jim Mc Guire, a Partner in Professor Thom's, who inspired the "F--k The Riviera" Chant, originally from Newark, NJ and the One who 1st gave asylum to NYC's Bunch of Red Sox Fans;

There's your NYC Yankee Haters, for all time;

Derek Jeter and Tim Mc Carver, not to mention Joe Buck, all of you 3 NEED to "Go F--k Yourselves";

All commentary in the Videos are mine. If You don't like it, take "Fitzy's" Advice and " GFY";

In Post Season Situations, you don't see that many real fans. In Tampa Bay, this and other seasons, you rarely saw that many fans to begin with at that Circus Tent in St Petersburg, FL;

1/3 of The Crowd are Season Ticket Holders, 1/3 are sponsors and 1/3 Are Representatives of the 29 Other M L B Clubs. The Principal Owner Of The Rays, has Season Tickets in $iti Field in Corona, for instance;

In Regular Season, it was rare to see a Capacity Crowd, and Usually a capacity Crowd was only for the Series with The Red Sox. Despite all of those Ex-Denizens of the 5 Boroughs living down there, The Yankees wouldn't draw the Capacity Crowds;

Will Sternberg Emulate Huizenga and Loria, in conducting a Fire Sale after The Season? It is Florida, a Pro Sports Black Hole, after all;

Last Night's Crowd, of a bit over 40K, with Noisemakers from Jeffy's Bar Mitzvah, witnessed History. When one considers that the Franchise existed for 10 Prior Seasons, in The Era of Free Agency, I'm surprised that they never made a run at it, earlier, which is Unlike The AZ Diamondbacks, who came into M L B at The Same Time, and Won The World Series in '01;

Tampa Bay 3, Red Sox 1 is the Final Score ending this dramatic 7 Game Series;

The Trouble is that Red Sox Pitching Chit The Proverbial Bed At Fenway Park. Because of The Postseason Situation, The Cask n Flagon got crowds earlier when people left Fenway Park in as early as the 5th Inning, which is unthinkable in Regular Season. Pitching was NON-Existent there;

3-3 Going to A 7th Match Tonight

Save for 2 Homers given up by Josh Beckett, he didn't pitch badly. Methinks that tampa Bay Rays, of little experience, is in "S--t The Proverbial Bed" Mode:

Mr Youkilis homered off Shields, whose Shield wasn't up. Mr Youkilis also drove in a run on a grounder;

A Better Time took place when Mr Varitek awoke from his 0-14 Slump with a Homer;

4-2 Red Sox over The Rays;

A Look At Citi Field And Yankee Stadium III

1st, Citi Field:

A Bit Pricey, but more-intimate. Seats will be Polo Grounds Green, field distances will attempt to emulate Shea Stadium, but be asymetrical, ala Ebbets Field. Seating will Face The Infield. Spacious Concourses will be a part of the Fan Experience. Like Ebbets Field, there will be a Left Field Grandstand. There will be more seating in the Outfield Area, likening it to Ebbets Field and The Polo Grounds. It'll be an improvement over Shea Stadium, with Wider Seats;

Yankee Stadium III:

Pricier than YS II. True to YS I, with the Frieze lining the roof. Seats are all Blue, like in YS I and II. Very Pricey, more of a snob atmosphere. Tier in new YS is only about 7 Rows. The Bleacher Creatures will add to a "New Toilet" Experience, as they'll be just as stupid, as they were in "Toilet II". Same Dimensions on field as in YS II;

While Red Sox Nation Prefers Fenway Park, I'm of The belief that they'll adopt their Exile Home, Citi Field, Quite-Nicely;

While Yankee Stadium III is still regarded as "That Giant Toilet In The Bronx", as it will not be on the Original Site;

And Remember this-Babe Ruth's Widow, Clare Ruth, was voted in 1969 as One Of The 25 Greatest Mets Fans Of All Time;

Vaccines-Germ Killers Or Neurological Destroyers?

Frankly, I think that too many Vaccines, especially to young babies, will hurt them. Thimeroserol, a Mercury-Based Preservative+an Aluminum Based Preservative, will hurt the developing brains of these children, unto the point of Impairing Speech(Autism is on the rise, like 1 in 166 have this condition):

I had both sets of Measles as a child-Once at Age 5 in 1960, and at Age 9(Rubella or German Measles, in 1964). I developed Immunity to both Measles, naturally. Some years later, Vaccines were developed for these Conditions;

Pediatricians start giving Inoculations, as soon as 24 Hours after the Birth of a Child. It's as if the Child of Today, is a Guinea Pig. Children of such a young age, experience 68 Different Vaccinations, as well as being hit with all those Preservatives;

It's like Kids can't be kids, anymore, as they become lab rats, to enrich the pockets of the Pharmaceutical Companies;

In a lot of cases, Alternative Medicine seems to hold the answers to Wellness;

AND to think I hated Injections as a child-NOW I know why;

The Story Of "Lansdowne On The Hudson" Can Be Accessed By Clicking On The Title-My Comments On That Place May Be Read Below

The Place, known as "The Riviera Bar and Sports Cafe", has been around since 1969, at 7th Avenue South and West 4th Street in Greenwich Village, on the Island of Manhattan. It had the Title Of Haven For Red Sox Fans, living in NYC, but the place is held in derision:

You don't FIRE The Guy, who put you on The Map. THAT Guy went and opened a much, much-better Red Sox Haven, at 219 2nd Avenue between East 13th and East 14th Streets, in The East Village;

There are NO Yankee Fan Partners, like some dude named Sertell;

Fresh Chili Con Carne' is served, NOT Canned Chili. The Canned Chili at the Riviera caused me some food poisoning(Or was it a Yeast Attack);

The Riviera is NOT the ONLY SHOW in town. Professor Thom's In The East Village and The Hairy Monk at East 25th Street and 3rd Avenue, in Murray Hill, are 2 Prime Red Sox Locations. One of the Old Riviera Regulars, W. Vernon Trotter, has set up "The Hairy Monk" Branch of Red Sox Nation;

Meanwhile, the Bartender and Founder of The Riviera's Red Sox Following, Jim Mc Guire, is one of The Owners of Professor Thom's as Well as Mike Higgins and Chris Wertz(Wertz Being Governor Of Red Sox Nation-New York, according to The Home Office at 4 Yawkey Way in Boston's Kenmore Square-Back Bay Area). We all treat The Riviera with the UTTER CONTEMPT that it deserves;

WHAT Red Sox Themed Pub would have a Picture Of That Utterly-Contemptable Traitorous PO #2, Roger Clemens, on a Bar? ONLY The Riviera has it. ONLY 3 Tap Beers? Professor Thom's has 16 Tap Beers, while The Hairy Monk has 8, with the "Perfect Pint" of Poured Guiness Stout. The Riviera cannot make that claim;

I 1st met Jim Mc Guire at The Riviera on the 1st Day of 2005, in The Bar Area of The Riviera. Later, in April, '05, after the Red Sox raised the '04 World Series Championship Banner, a number of us discovered that Jim was canned by Sertell And His Cohorts;

By 2006, The Chant of "F--- The Riviera" was born. The List contains names of people associated with The Riviera, Various NY Yankees and other N'erdowells from FOX Sports. Recently, The Names of Omar Minaya, Tony Bernazard, Fred and Jeffy Wilpon, have been added to the Riviera List, and our usual Standby of "F--k Kazmerczyk, F--k Him", which is used as a 7th Inning Stretch Chant;

Buck and Mc Carver(Mc Cavah)? Oh, are those 2 ever on The Riviera List! They came on screen one night, and caught Derision from Thom's Regulars. Eric Gagne' is on The List for being a 2007 World Series "Ring Thief", as his Relief Pitching was a cause for contempt;

Oh? As For The Riviera, Red Sox Fans coming to Professor Thom's, tend to deride The Riviera, as the Worst Red Sox Bar Experience, they've ever had. The Same is said by those going to The Hairy Monk about The Riviera;

Oh, well!

The Cask N Flagon Is Begging For New And IMPROVED Pitching

Last Night's Red Sox Pitching looked like it was straight out of the 1962 NY METS(The Initials mean "Must End The Season-LOL):

Wakefield's Famous Knuckle Ball, DID NOT DANCE. In fact, it was flatter than a warm Narragansett Beer(Ever Drink a Warm Budweiser-you get the picture. Ditto-Rheingold Extra Dry). That Flat Knuckle Ball even landed by The Cask N Flagon;

Red Sox Fans were asking why there was no movement by the F O just after the '07 World Series. There was Constipated Movement, making me wonder if Someone in the Ownership Group, with the Initials "LL" might have been tying the F O up, to make no moves;

Mr Wakefield lasted 2 2/3 Innings, giving up 5 Runs, it was such a disaster. The Final was 13-4 Tampa Bay, Red Sox "Pitching" gave up 31 Runs over 3 Games(10 1/3 Runs per Game over the 3 Games).Over 4 Games, with the Matsuzaka Shutout, Tampa Scored 7.75 Runs per Game, which means that Pitching is in need of a major upgrade;

Thursday Night, The Red Sox will start Matsuzaka, again. Will This stop the Onslaught? At Least there's a day off to figure that out;

Carlos Pena(Haverhill, MA), Evan Longoria(NOT Eva) and Willy Aybar, all hit homers on the Green Monster, with Pena's shot hitting the Cask N Flagon;

The crowd of 38,133 at Fenway Park, was out of it, EARLY. Men did not get on base for David Ortiz. He tripled, and scored on a Youkilis Grounder to 2nd Base;

1st, Josh Beckett, who says that he feels fine(B-llsh-t), got shelled. Yesterday, Jon Lester got a shellacking, and a bad one as BJ Upton played Monster and Beyond Ball, as did Rocco Baldelli of Woonsocket, RI:

Mr Epstein, it's time for an UPGRADE. One wonders if Mr Wakefield is up to the task, as he's been Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde, pitching-wise. If The Knuckler doesn't dance, it'll be a Very-Long Night, with a number of us, awfully-p---ed off, crying in our Harpoon Ales;

By WHAT Standard Are You A Good Person-A Homily And Essay

Remember The Wedding Feast being compared to The Kingdom Of God?

The King invites all the Big Shots to a Wedding Feast(No, this is NOT The Opening Of $iti Field-LOL, and Jeffy is NOT The King Here{Mercifully}). None of the Big Shots wanted to show up, since the King is despised:

He tries the next tier of guests, and they tell the King to Shove it(These are NOT The Mets Fans who held partial plans at Shea Stadium-LOL). So The King sends his messengers(From what I gather, The Apostles) to get people to come to this event(WHICH Is Not The Last-Ever Game at Shea Stadium-LOL);

Finally, The Feast Is Held. The King Enters The Reception and notices a man without a Wedding Garment. He has the guy tossed out;

The King Represents God. The Wedding Feast represents Heaven. The wedding Garment represents Grace;

I was at The Installation Of Officers Mass at Monsignor Sherman Council-Knights Of Columbus #5103, yesterday afternoon. The Wedding Feast Gospel Led To A Very Good Homily by Fr John J Fullum, a Priest Who Gives Very-Memorable Homilies;

These Are The Actual Tim Mc Carver Comments

"It's extraordinary -- the dichotomy between what he was in Boston and what he is in Los Angeles," McCarver said, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. "I mean, talk about wearing out your welcome in a town, and it was a long welcome with the Red Sox. But some of the things he did were simply despicable, despicable -- like not playing, refusing to play. Forgetting what knee to limp on. And now it's washed, it's gone."

Tim Mc Carver put this quite-well:

Manny did piss me off, ESPECIALLY, when he wouldn't take the bat off his shoulder, in an At Bat vs Mariano Rivera at Yankee Stadium II, in July, with The Game on FOX. It was disgusting, to say the least;

I remember because Jim Mc Guire and I let Manny have it, for his latest "Manny Being Manny" Antics, which, by that time, were NOT FUNNY;

I should know-I was at Fenway Park in Outfield Grandstand 3, up from Queens for the game(Thanks for NOTHING, Manny):

Mc Carver, in an interview with the Philadelphia Inquirer, revealed that Manny had quit on his team, The Red Sox. He also gave an interview with ESPN, on the same subject;

BUT, for 9 Innings on FOX, This Duo(Pictured Here), went on and on about Manny Ramirez, until people screamed "Please Stop". These 2 Magpies wouldn't shut up about Manny Ramirez. Not unlike Tim's 17+ Mentions of Derek Jeter, who was NOT mentioned last night, MERCIFULLY;

Some of the Workers look to take over the Vineyard and start whacking the Guys In Charge. The Master comes back and is not pleased at all. He then sends his son. They whack the son;

The Christ asks the Pharisees what they think should happen to those who committed those murders. They replied with having the Murderers subjected to a painful death(Which is not in this case, being forced to watch the Last Mets Game of 2008. The most that can cause is tears and a lot of Gas-LOL);

What The Christ did in warning these 'Go To Guys" is that they could lose the Kingdom Of God, which could be taken from them and given to those who would bear fruit;

The Pharisees were not bearing fruit for the Kingdom Of God-they were just enriching themselves;

Pax Vobiscum!

Famous October 4ths' And Personal Ones

On This Date in 1955, The Brooklyn Dodgers defeated The NY Yankees in the 7th Game of the 1955 World Series(2004 Explained 1955, Quite-Well):

October 4th, 1969, The NY Mets played in the 1st Ever N L C S and defeated The Atlanta Braves, 3 Games To None;

"The Last Time That The Giants had a runner on was in the 4th Inning with Youkilis;

"St Louis Blows In A New York Minute";

"A Clueless Putz" Until 2012(Click Title To ESPN For Minaya Propaganda)

While The Omnipotent Q, Mr Quinn of Midwood, Brooklyn, writes of Omar Minaya as a Clueless Putz, I heartily Concur in his assesment and say Thanks:

Omar Minaya obtained junk to set up Willie Randolph, because Jeffy Wilpon, That Sinister Little S--t, hated Randolph's Guts over a Contract Extension;

You see, Minaya hired Tony Bernazard as Director Of Player Development for The NY Mets. Bernazard was utilized by Jeffy to disrupt clubhouse chemistry. Omar folded up like a cheap camera. Omar fired Willie Randolph in the Middle Of The Night. Bernazard left Jerry Manuel Alone. Omar failed to address the Hideous Little S--t Bullpen Situation;

He got rewarded for all this. For You See, Internal Politics is more important to Jeffy Wilpon and Omar Minaya, than the On Field Product. No wonder(Bwahahahahahahahhaha) The Mets Flopped-A--h-les were in charge;

"Coises" As It Would Be Pronounced In Brooklyn

There was this "Coise" called "The Curse Of The Bambino" but with 2 World Championships in 4 Years, Red Sox Nation has nothing to fear, as there's the Current Ownership Group of Henry, Werner and Lucchino And The NY Times Company. The Job Got Done:

A silly "Coise" is "The Curse Of The Billy Goat" in the case of The Cubs, supposedly when a tavern owner in Chicago, was thrown out of a World Series Game in Wrigley Field. That Tavern Owner, supposedly put a hex on the team. Frankly, it was Ownership which never really modernized. Then, Again, Notoriously-Corrupt Chicago Politicians stuck their noses, within smashing range, interfering in the Operation of the Ball Club, dictating that most Cubs Games must be played in Daylight, despite the fact that the weather(A Lot of Humidity) takes a lot out of a ballplayer, as that was the case of the 1969 Chicago Cubs, where pitching did wear out from all that sunlight in day games and all that humidity;

One of The Silliest "Coises" is "The Curse Of Ray Knight" or C.O.R.K.. This curse was due to when the NY Mets won the 1986 World Series and the fact that Ray Knight was gone after that Series. In reality, Mets Ownership was altered when Fred Wilpon became Half Owner of The Mets, and later brought Jeffy, his son into the Wilpon's new "Sterling Mets L P" Operation, which has produced tension and a new ballpark, Citi Field(Often called $iti Field). Fred got in the way of Nelson Doubleday, then Jeffy took charge and continues to piss off Mets Fans;

Just some "Coises" Writings. It's all bad management to me;

I'm Going Out On A Limb-Red Sox Vs Dodgers

OK, Fenway Park is still there, though Ebbets Field(Brooklyn)is gone, so Dodgers-Red Sox will be played on 2 Coasts:

Torre'-Francona is a Classic, like Old Times('04);

Bay vs Ramirez-I'll go with Bay on this one;

A Series with Old NL Managers-it works for me;

Will Mc Carver be Typically-Baboonish? Ditto, Buck?

Stuart Sternberg, Tampa Bay Rays Owner, has NY Mets Season Tickets and is a Lifelong Mets Fan. Looks like he's upping for Citi Field. It may explain why Tampa Bay is on the schedule for Citi Field. Stuart is originally from somewhere down the Belt Parkway(Canarsie, Brooklyn):

Just read about the dismantling of Shea Stadium by the Parks Department. The Lights are being removed. The Fences are down. The turf is being rolled up and the seats are being removed. The Lights from the Top Turrets will be moved to athletic complexes all over NYC;
