Mock No More
Every time I gloat over the Yankees' misfortune, they go on a freakin' tear. They've won ten of thirteen games (seven of their last eight) since I enjoyed the idea of Steinbrenner's seething at his poorly spent $200 million. Last night, they scored thirteen runs in the 8th inning to beat the hapless Devil Rays 20-11. Their record is now better than the Mets, who lost five of six from the two worst teams in the American League West.
If the Yanks hit another sucky spell, I'm keeping my damned mouth shut. And maybe I'll put on one of these instead.

As a lifelong Mets fan, I feel your pain. But it's entirely possible that 85 wins will be enough to secure the NL East, which means that the Mets can win it if they get hot, kind've like they did back in 1973. Do you really think the Nationals - aka Montreal Expos - will win that division? I sure don't. The Mets are a longshot, no doubt, because they're in a situation where they throw Pedro out there and then pray for four days of rain. But you never know. Here's a grim thought: If the Mets are not in the race by the time August rolls around, Piazza may very well end up as a DH on the Yankees...
Why fight it? The Braves will win the division. The Mets are a .500 ball club, which I can live with, given the past couple years. I think Piazza will end up DH/backup catcher for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, or, if you sing it, LAAA!
You know, John Lennon's Aunt Mimi once told him
"The guitar's all right, John, but you'll never make a living at it."
He laughed about it later, but now they're both dead, so it's actually pretty sad, if you think about it.
